That’s quite a rock Ed. It looks like wood kinda in the picture.

Sorry about no squirrels. I’m surprised you saw any in the wind!

My apologies for taking up so many posts. There are more but I’ll just post one of them.

Funny thing is, I was leaning up against a smaller one beside it trying to get a shot at a squirrel. It too, has some unique characteristics. I didn’t even notice them for about 10 minutes or so.

No one can ever convince me that the big guy upstairs doesn’t do good work.

That is on a steep hillside (imagine that, ole ETipp being on such) and it appears that, that large boulder had rolled down the hill at some point and what you were looking at used to be the bottom side. At least that’s what I’m thinking. I suppose it could have broken off from another chunk up higher and that was in the center of them.

Pretty awesome looking rock.

Definitely a cool looking rock

Interesting rock for sure. My thoughts are you never loose when out hunting or just being afield. Me I got to spend a beautiful day at work while my buddy sent pictures of him out hunting. Just a few choice words back to him

Well fellas, looks like I’m a failure once again. Went to the woods this morning on a squirrel hunt/deer scouting mission and came up empty handed once again. It was overcast with light rain and gusty winds. What few squirrels I saw were up in tress and I was not able to get a shot. Not the first one was on the ground. I really needed a good squirrel because it’s been so long now, but it wasn’t meant to be.

I did find this big boulder about the size of a Volkswagen, maybe a little smaller that is very interesting. This time I happened to have had my cell with me so I could use it as a card reader for my trail cam. So, I decided to take a few pics to share with ya’
all.

This will probably have to take up a few posts to get them all.View attachment 359412View attachment 359413

Very unusual. Petrified stump?

Didn't get to go Wednesday but made it out to the woods for a bit this afternoon. Took the .40 out this time. It's a Cherokee with a Douglas barrel and weighs next to nothing. A pleasure to carry. Saw no squirrels at all but did have four deer pass by pretty close. No dumplins but still a good trip to the woods.

Glad you were at least able to get out, Tim. Beats the heck out of staying home. Fall is a favorite time of year for many of us.

Oh how I’m wanting this deer hunting thing to be over with so I can get back to my squirrel hunting. One more deer might do it for us, two would be best. With this evil and insane political situation worldwide nowadays, my thoughts are its best to stock up on provisions as much as possible.

I’m hoping to be able to go back squirrel hunting/deer scouting tomorrow and Monday. The weather here has not been kind to us this entire year and doesn’t look to be changing next week. So, I figure I might as well be out there easing around and doing the best that I can anyway. No sense in sitting around the house bellyaching about it.

My trail cams prove that the deer chase phase has not yet happened here in this area. Also, the only activity I’m getting on my trail cams are during the night. Historically, the first week of November has been the chase phase. I sincerely hope that remains before the orange army war begins in one week from today.

Also, and to my surprise, squirrel stupid season has not happened yet either. Many trees in this part of KY still have about 35-40 percent of their leaves with many oaks still dropping acorns. I’m still seeing squirrels feeding up in oaks on a daily basis. Those little buggers just do not want to give up those trees and are seldom seen on the ground. Until this changes, it’s very tough to get a shot at them.

Soon, very soon, squirrel stupid season will be here and then things “should” change in my favor.
