Duck camp - 08/17/12 03:56 AM
Life has been pretty fast paced here lately. I am in the middle of a month with 13 snake avoidance clinics scheduled. I had to just go somewhere alone. Well what better place than duck camp?
I set a goal to get the ponds planted in jap millet. Done! Build a porch on the cabin. Done! Planted another pond on an adjacent property too.
Had something wierd happen. I was running a tractor that is loud. The dogs were running around and I would call them back. We were not quiet at all. Well I stopped the tractor and headed through the woods to the other end of the pond on foot, dogs with me.
Bullet got wind of something and took off. He went off the trail into shoulder high grass and weeds. I could only tell where he was at by the grass moving. He tangled with something, yelped and shot out of there. Whatever it was stayed right there for 5 minutes. I could see the grass moving. I finally just walked off. It made no noise even when bull piled up on it. I am thinking beaver. That was creepy for it to stay.
Here's the porch.
