"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."
Here's some I snapped yesterday from a metal/wood ground blind I have on the Ouachita River. Have to drive in by ATV through the wildlife refuge to get back to it. If conditions get really bad and the water gets up, you have to come in by boat. The river is about 70 yards behind the stand.

On a clear day. This crossing is very good most years and I took this buck on opening weekend just before sundown. He was going left to right and was in the middle of the ford just to the left of the small island. That crossing is 112 yards from my elevated box stand.
High elevated stand. Low fence. There was a black bear about 230 yards from the camera in the tall Christmas trees slightly left and above center of the pic. Drove and hiked and sat and watched daylight till dark, saw two recent but not fresh deer tracks and zero deer the entire day. Great scenery but very few deer in the entire country.
