Warden Callaway Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I have a place in the yard I set in the evening and watch wildlife. The last couple evening about sundown the sky very clear the moon has been remarkably clear and large. I glanced up at the exact time to see a passenger airplane cross it. Would have been a great photo. But no way I could have gotten the shot. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgeous photo, thank you! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 I've never seen diving horses. I have however seen a lot of diving mules. In the 70's it was a staple every year at the Missouri State Fair. IIRC They had Diving Mules at the Bishop Ca Mules Days Celebration. That would have been in mid 2000 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Been to Arches, along with Indiana Jones. Took the kids back in the 80s while they were small. Hauled a 4x5 view camera and case on a hand truck up to Delicate Arch. It was a whole lot less crowded back then, before the Instagram Selfie crowd overran the place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 A couple of visitors to my watch on the Montreal River. Guess which one was the noisiest! * * YEP! THAT DANG CANADIAN SYMBOL THE BEAVER! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted November 24 Author Share Posted November 24 I ain't got no experience with mooses. But the deary deers down here don't hardly make no noise at all, while squirrels and s*** sparrows (me and my friends started calling them that when we would hear a noise over in the bushes and sneak over there hoping to get a deer and - "s***. Just them sparrows") make enough noise for a platoon of infantry. So I guess the noisiest was the beaver. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Give Alpo a big cigar! Beaver was aware I was sitting there and started the old tail slapping routine until I was tempted to put a .338 into him. Moose on the other hand can be ghostlike traveling through the bush. Unless it's the rut and the bulls get ornery with one another over a particularly pretty cow. Think two D-9 bulldozers going at one another. Trees knocked down or ripped up, bush floor looking like it had been plowed. Sometimes the mating duel can be fatal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
