Yote

Jill get sort of freaked when pictures like these show-up on the trail camera.  Particularly when they're taken at a location only a couple of hundred yards from the house. 

She's not afraid for herself as much as she is for the dogs. 

I suggest that we must remain mindful that more often than not these images are captured long after everyone on our household has retired and gone to bed.

Moreover, the local coyote population appears to be quite wary of humans and the domesticated dogs that accompany us.  The best evidence I have for this hypothesis is that we never encounter Wiley Coyote while out for a walk.  Everyone seems to enjoy a mutually-shared caution of one another.

Nevertheless, I always strap-on the Browning Buckmark at my hip because sometimes the yotes make daylight appearances.  

Insurance after-all.......

Point and Shoot

Traveling.

Pardon the puns but I purchased a new point and shoot from Target the other day.

Guess which one it is...?

Sidearm

An essential tool when out for walks with the pooches or working in the woods.

The Platz has its share of varmints all of which will succumb to a well-placed .22 long rifle 1280 FPS velocity 36 gr. plated hollow point from the trusty Browning Buckmark and its 10 round magazine.
