and trails into the 40 acres below the mesa which is under plant for about 40 head of cattle. Deer like to raid it. There is a main trail from there up to the mesa, but at least a couple other obscure ones which bucks use. Lots of rain in the area at end of the spring, but drought set in again, and no rain for nearly 2 months. Still, the land looks good with many hearty oaks, elms, some walnut, and of course cedar. The drought killed off a lot of that, and our "cedar party" 2 yrs ago cleared enough for more shooting lanes. Two seasons ago we got into both mourning dove AND white wings. The two species would not intermingle; the former in the sunflower field, the latter in the oaks and elms less than 2 hundred yards away. Got a Eur-Asian collared dove last year -- big as a small pigeon.
