Not really hunting photos but :shrug:

These things are everywhere outside in the evening lately. They actually got little white fur on em. I was gonna skin one and tan it up but every time I set it down to hang up the skinning gambrel I cant find it again.

I've lived here 12 years and never seen anything like these before.

^^^ :roflmao: @ Jerry ^^^ I wonder if they taste like chicken? :laf: :wink:

Jim,
They don't make real good pets... after laying their eggs they soon die.

We had them here a few years ago... I believe what you are seeing is the mature stage of the Woolly Aphid.

Here you go...
