1st find of the year for me
 

well i was preping myself for my trip to texas and found this this lil critter in my back yard.

Awesome. It's that time of year again, thank God!

agreed..i've been here 5 years and this is the 1st hog i've ever found.

Shoot I've never even seen a DOR hog. I've always heard the best time to find them is a dusk or dawn.

i live near tulsa oklahoma and it was around noon today.scared the heck outta me.i saw a flash of orange and knew it was a copperhead.we do have tons of them here.after better looking i realized a hog and grabbed it up for some pics.

jim

while i have you here..do you have any planns may 1st and 2nd ?

jim

Yes, in about 3 weeks, Ive found 1 baby bull snake *In my possesion* 1 Texas Rat snake about 2ft long, 1 Texas Rat snake that got cut by a lawn mower that......sadly didnt make it, and about 4-5 fence lizards.

Congrats, I wish I had stuff like that in my back yard. I am lucky to see a Cardinal or a sparrow.

my back yard is actualy 5 acres.half of it is woods with a pond on it.here is 1 last pic before i turned it loose

Wow, 5 acres...what I would give for that!

So whereabouts you plan on travelling to in TX? Out West I reckon. Looks like I may be making a trip out that way next month myself, though most likely towards the end of it. Certainly we will make several trips in June. Oh, I am longing for that long stretch of highway heading west, the tall rocky road cuts with all kinds of beauty hidden inside the cracks and crevices, the absolute pitch black and quiet and PEACE that is unmatched by any other place I have visited... LOL sorry, I get carried away sometimes, you see West Texas is my little place to escape from reality. Hope to see ya out there Jim!
