No, since those pics were taken, the rice field was flooded. It's called a permanent flood, since 2 feet of water is in the field until right before harvest.
I talked to some friends and neighbors tonight, and have a ton of new stories to tell about strange events related to this sighting. These dudes work cattle back in those woods, and told me of both recent and past encounters. I even have one of my own, although when I went back today to look for footprints, I only found a set of tracks from a wild hog. I estimate the weight about 350-360 lbs., so that explains the weird noises I heard last week. I learn about a new story every day, as this sighting is big news down here!!!!
Several folks have the PhotoSpy motion-sensing cameras set-up in the area, and there were some strangers with telephoto cameras parked next to that rice field today. It's just a matter of time before someone gets a clear pic or bags this thing. One of my neighbors has his .300 Weatherby on hand, and I have my artillery!!!
