Wildlife at Sam Houston Jones State Park

We went to see the wildlife feeding earlier than last night. Last night our four families were the only ones there. Tonight we had our son's family in addition to the others from last night. However, there were a number of other families there too. The wildlife came out in large numbers too.

The kids were excited to feed the raccoons and deer. The older gentleman who feeds the wildlife showed up shortly after we got there. The raccoons knew what he was there for and came to greet him.

Adam had several raccoons that came to take the treats he had to offer.

The deer kept their distance but a few came close enough to
eat what we had to offer.

Dylan found that several raccoons were brave enough to nearly eat out of his hand.

Many of the raccoons were content to stay at the woodline and eat the corn and feed that the older gentleman had brought. As darkness feel about all one could see was the eyes of the raccoons and deer.

One buck kept vigilant watch on the whole scene and stayed at a distance.

We counted over twenty raccoons and at least a dozen deer. It was an evening to be remembered! I am sure that the kids and grandkids will encourage us to come back again soon.
