Speaking of deer and poop...

I was in the Wind Rivers of WY in 1974 and one morning while visiting the latrine, ( a pit dug near a large boulder), I heard steps rushing toward where I was doing my business...and thinking that it was someone in need from our group of climbers, I tried to rush to accommodate whoever it was.

Who it was, however, was a large mule deer buck and his group, and it would be hard to say who was the more surprised in the moment as we came face to antlers.

They didn't tarry, however, and moved on to greener pastures (so to speak).

As a rule, I generally try not to pay any attention to Grenock , in the same way that you don't look a bear in the eye……….

So, there is part of me that wants to take this as a compliment, because it means you see me like this………


However, you could just as well be thinking of me like this……


I’m so torn.

No .... but the only thing I could think at the time was " you're supposed punch a shark in the eyes when it attacks.... wtf do I do to an 8 point buck" lol

I think South Park had an instructional segment IIRC.

Well what you don’t want to do while in the rut is to be on hands and knees while bleating a doe call. Seriously though people get gored yearly by bucks that have been dazed or wounded and lunge at the person as they approach. A bull moose visited or city house last week. One of the pics I will get posted. They don’t look that big until you are close.

It's been sunny and in the 70s for most of the week

I'm trying to soak up this nice weather before it's freezing and snowy!!

My snow shovel is getting pretty lonely! Also I looked at my ice fishing gear and it’s lonely as well, the only cure is to get this “frozen north” freezing!

13 degrees here right now. Going down to zero tomorrow. I hope to have enough snow on the ground in a week or so to be riding my snowmachine. Soak up that sun- we will have snow for the next 6 months!

Vote, vote, vote peoples. Again I don't care who you vote for, all I ask is look at where you are vs where you would like to be. We as a nation have the almost unique ability to guide the direction of our country. Exercise it!!

I voted on the second day of early voting. (I plan to vote a few more times Monday.)

Okay, I'm kidding about Monday. I don't live in Chicago, and I'm not dead (yet).

 

[Madranchtx]

I voted early also because I am heading out of state for work on Monday. Out of town work blows but it pays. Not something unique but a choice I make to provide a better life for my family. Many people make the same choice. God bless America. She's not dead.

 

[Madranchtx]

That is a 2 edge sword. Almost wish I hadn't gone down that path. Not so sure the extra $ has been worth the price.

 

[Madranchtx]

Missed the K18 but scored a K20 so single edge only

there should be ONE DAY to vote.

These days it could be wolves, E. We had a wolf kill in WY last year, and when I used to have coffee with the puppies in the morning, on a clear night we could hear them howling. Puppies loved that.

Here, we have Californian Mules all the time.

Also had a deer kill last year, coyote or cat, I believe it was a cat.

Even found an antler a few months ago, which turns out to be a nice prop.

I'm good with alternate styles of voting as long as it includes 1 vote per person with proof of identity. Mass mail in ballots is bs. Military obviously is exempt from this.
