Living in the Appalachian Mountains means hunting from the house. Creeker here from Dry Creek, southern WV.

Thanks guys. Built her with mostly myself. Took six years. We have a fair population of whitetail and black bear. More turkey than anything. Here's another look since you enjoyed the other picture.

Yelp.........They pass through here a lot. There's a den behind the house. DNR comes by of the winter to check for cubs, take blood, weigh and so on.

Here's another look. Between this picture and the one above she sat down and looked straight at me but the camera was still recoving from the other picture and just wouldn't go off when I pulled the trigger. HEE HEE

I want to see west Texas. Along the Rio Bend country to just south of I-10, and on west toward El Paso. Chihuahuan Desert and Davis Mountains are of interest.
