Walking The Back Roads

Back Road Cornfield

I have posted before about walking the Back Roads For Wildlife Photos but I wanted to bring it up again since it has been awhile since I wrote that.

The Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma has several roads that the employees use but vistors are not allowed to drive on. I have discovered over the years that these roads are great for viewing wildlife.

The next time you see one of these roads, park and take a walk and see what wildlife you can observe.

Below is a photo I took of a Whitetail Doe that stepped out of the cornfield shown above:

    Hummm why are they growing corn in the National Forest? Are they baiting the deer?

    This is on a wildlife refuge and they have a Cooperative Farming program:

    Gorgeous shots, Steve! I observed that the Salt Plains NWR has a cooperative farming program, too. I think it’s a great idea…and, it benefits the wildlife.

    I agree Cindy! It is a great idea.

    Thank you Mia! It was almost to close to get a clear photo. A small buck was with the doe but it was to close for a clear shot.

    Thanks for posting this great shot and how you got to it. Glad you were on foot not driving. LOL!
