Beating The Wildlife

We went looking for morel mushrooms Saturday, and it was slow at first, but we found a recently-deceased elm tree with the tasty treats growing above the dead roots, and we felt like we were in Hog-Heaven.
This is our haul; we had some with supper, and we are eating the remainder with Sunday breakfast.

If you have morels in you woods you have to find them before the deer, turkeys, and squirrels eat them. This cute gray squirrel was hunting alongside Mrs. TBS for quite a while, and I followed him around taking pictures. I was only five or six feet away from him when I took this shot.

  2. Fried grays are a delicacy, but I am a good boy and don't hunt out of season. They have babies in the nest now.
