Yes paw. Crazy he didn't want to stop, and he is still going

[grampy]

Ohooo, Otis! Ouch! Looks like buck thorn. I've pulled a few of those thorns out of my own hide too over the years. He seem ok now Paula?

[Paula]

Yup, I will check it and spray antibiotic when I get him home

You have buckthorns in the area?...man nasty sturdy thorns...glad it wasn't an eye...poor little guy..

Now that's brush hunting! Pretty...Can't really make out individual plants save the sumac, but that tall clump on the right looks familiar to me....I haven't been to camp in a couple of years...It's was very bad then. I can't imagine how bad it is now I tried cutting out a section one year and you could barely reach the trunks with a pruning saw with out the risk of a blinding. Crawling under to cut you risked body puncture when they fell..

Wow where do you live, Costa Rica? Dont have any thickets that even closely resemble that.  Must hold a ton of rabbits.

Looks like a lot of our hunting grounds. Makes hunting a challenge, as we almost never see deer out in the open. But the rabbits and partridge love it too!

The grounds at the club are maintained for rabbit habitat. There are predators that make it challenging.
