Field photos and notes 08/02/08
« on: August 02, 2008, 10:38:21 PM »
Spent this evening up looking for a Bear.  I think that's about the only thing I didn't find.  I saw a doe with 2 fawns in a clear cut and than when I was getting ready to head out I came around the corner and almost hit a Doe standing in the middle of the road.  She was one of the biggest blacktail does I've seen here in Washington.

Where I was the Salmonberries, Trailing Blackberries, and the Thimbleberries were all ripe.  Saw ton's of Salmonberries where I was along with the Blackberries.  The Cascara and the Salal berries are still green.

Checked out a new area and came across an old peel.  It was peeled about 12 feet up the tree.


About 20 yards farther down on the other side of the road a ran across a peel that looked to be from early this spring.  The sap was still flowing on this one.


Same system of roads and area found 2 more peels.  One that looked to be made early this spring.  This one was pretty shaded and looks a lot darker than it is.   


Also another older one.


Also ran across this guy on my way out.  I thought about shooting it, but wasn't sure.  So I let it go.  I don't really like the idea of people releasing their pets.  I was only about 6 or 7 feet from it when I took the picture.  If I would have had I coat I probably could have caught it.
