View from your deer stand.

It's Boris the Spider!!! 

[Chuck White]

Looks like a "Wood Spider"!

[Jeff]

It doesn't have antlers at least 3" so he is of no concern.

It could be one of those infamous "Crack Spiders" the  Canadian Wildlife Service in Ottawa did the documentary on YouTube. 

If it is, you want to be careful Jeff.

The deer put them in there to keep you occupied so you will miss a good shot 😂

I can do spiders, just not the other Jim Stafford critter

Due to this NNE wind, there will be no View from my deer stand(s) this entire weekend. 

I have a Grandson hunting on our adjacent property which offers some different options so maybe he will get an opportunity.

This was not really a deer stand or a hunting trip.  It was more like an enjoyable boat ride and a walk/wade through often almost crotch deep water through a swamp along the Withlacoochee River.  We passed Ellmoe's sawmill on the way to the boat ramp.  I did not get very many pictures due to having to put my phone in the backpack to keep it dry.  We were scouting more than hunting but we did carry our rifles.  It was a good morning spent with my son in law.  I got home around 3 p.m. and had a forestry practice with some of the FFA students.

The mosquitoes were dealing.  I killed four on the back of my hand with one slap. I should have taken a picture of the citrus trees that were on one of the hammocks we were exploring.  They are commonly found growing on small rises in the swamps.  I suspect they were planted by the Indians on spots where they would camp and hunt.

 

 

 I did find a picture of the citrus tree.  These are usually the sourest of any fruit I've ever tasted.

That's a funny looking doe in the last picture.
