Natures Beautiful Abundance
Posted Saturday, June 13, at 12:44 PM
There are many beautiful sights around Greene County. Let's take a look at some of these.
Wildflowers at Goose Pond prairie areas like Penstemon stretching across GP9 or Day Lilies with their large orange flowers along road sides and Hemlock with its white flower and purple spotted stem and not to forget Daisy Fleabane with its small white daisies and Milkweed with its large flower cluster. The Whitetail Deer Doe with her fawn feeding in the fields of Goose Pond as evening approaches. Several Great Egrets feeding in the shallow waters of Goose Pond Main Pool West. The Sun reflecting off the water at GP11s. There are many beautiful sites if we take time to look. A new bird at Goose Pond is the Roseate Spoonbill. This exciting bird has never been seen before in Indiana has been visiting Goose Pond the last couple of weeks. It was found by Lee Sterrenburg on June 2nd. Outstanding work Lee. Around the area fisherman have been out in force. We have been having some luck on bluegill using crickets. At Goose Pond several miles of levee top mowing has been done making Walking, Hiking and Wildlife viewing more enjoyable. There are many things to see and do Outdoors if we only take the time.
Memorial Day Weekend Many Thanks to the Men and Women serving in our military around the world for helping to preserve our freedom. I thought in this blog we would take a look at some of the things that my friends and family did over the holiday weekend. My friend Kegan and I started the weekend off by doing some catfishing on Black Creek. Fishing was a little slow that evening, but it was good to be outdoors...
Lots to do in Greene County There are many things to do in Greene County in the spring. Lets take a look at some of these. A couple of weeks ago we took a trip to Red Bird ORV area. We had a good time riding the trails. The person working the gate was friendly and helpful. However there is room for improvement on the trail system and map. ...
Spring is here With a little warmer weather, fishing has picked up bluegills and crappies have been biting pretty good. If you like to use a fly rod for pan fish you can have a great time catching fish on a top water popper, not to mention a good meal. Turkey season is not far off, beginning on April 22nd and running thru May 10th. I have seen ole tom turkey out in full strut already, so it's time to get out and do some scouting to be ready for the season opener...
Here we are. Well here we are, most of the hunting seasons are over. And those seasons that are still open will be over soon. While some had a very productive year, others did not. But it's not about the game you take it's about being outdoors. There was a short time when some were able to get out and do some Ice fishing, and those folks seemed to have done very well on bluegills...
Hunter Ethics There are many responsibilities that go with being an ethical hunter. Honesty. Buy a license. Know the game you will pursue. Know the weapon you will use to take and secure your game. Know how to deal with any game you take,Preparing the meat for the freezer or the table...
Outdoor Experiences Over the few weeks I have had some excellent outdoor experiences. A friend ask if I would like to go waterfowl hunting with him. I did and had a lot of fun hunting ducks and geese. I hadn't been waterfowl hunting in 34 years and on our first hunt I shot my limit of ducks and later In the week I shot my limit of geese and that's not because I'm a great wing shooter it's because I hunted with a guy that knows how and where to go. Thanks Dennis...
Hunting, Fishing, Birding or I had a comment asking what I thought about the ongoing discussion about Hunting, Fishing, Birding, Hiking or just plain enjoying the outdoors at Goose Pond Fish & wildlife Area. As for the naysayers, I don't believe the mosquitoes or snakes are any worse than they have ever been...
Well here we are - Fall Well here we are in the first part of fall. Some early hunting seasons are under way, fall fishing is ongoing, trees are beginning to change to there fall colors. Deer are beginning to move around more getting ready for the breeding season. I urge everyone to get out and experience our environment in this season of change...
Good to be back in Greene County After having an exciting trip to BWCAW, It's good to be home. Our trip to Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, is always fun but exhausting adventure.
