Great pics. I didn't realize that shedding started this early. I guess its a long way from your spot in Ark. to down here in La.

Shed'n is a funny thing, I've seen them shed by Christmas and then the same year some of them not shed till the end of Feb. or early March.

I hope you keep posting those pics. all year. Old whats his name want shed his and I'm curious to know what he does all summer. Looks like you had a great camp and I hope you and your family have a great holiday season and a good 2008.

Yep, old IT never changes much, in the 4 years I've got picture of "IT", it's never shed or changed in the head gear department much. It has grown though, 4 years of hit'n the feeders has put a body on it. We've still never seen "IT" in person, even though it lives right here in the middle of the main farm and get's it's picture taken often ( year round for 4 years). The 2 feeders it hits are 1/2 mile north of my house and 200 yards south of the house, but It has never been seen or got a picture it's taken in the daytime, totally nocturnal.

Yep, the feeders are just 4 inch PVC pipe with a 90 ,and a short piece of pipe cut in half longways, on one end and a cap on the other, will hold about 5 pounds of feed per foot.
