I know you guys would like to see something kilt today but unfortantly that wasn't the case. I am getting closer to my quest for a big mature male lionfor the living room. I decided today to take the camera along to snap a few pictures while I was out. I came across two herds of elk, the first had about 30 or 40 head in it they were laying right off the fire road in some scrub brush. You may have to look hard my camera is not the best but I was about 30 yards from the cow laying in the middle of the picture.
I drove the ATV about another mile just as I came around the bend there was 100 elk standing in the fire road. I had to sit and wait for them all to cross before I could go on thru.
I got off the beaten path for a little bit and came across an elk calf that wasn't so lucky. I looked for his head but the coyotes obviously had cleaned this one up. I did find the pile of brush he had hid his kill in. It is kind of eery to stand the knowing at any minute you might be under a pile of brush just like that. :shock:
Heres what happens when you try to load your ATV with a skif of snow in the bed of the truck. I try'd my damndest to drive it right thru the back window of the new truck. After a few choice words... I had to chuckle a little bit. :oops:
The day was not a total loss. I was riding up above my truck had to cross between two private pieces and met a lady in a jeep. She stopped me and asked DID YOU NOT SEE THE SIGN?? "I said No ma'am... What sign" Oh the one that says this areas CLOSED to OHV's "I said sorry but I didn't I ain't up here to tear anything up just putt'n around" she said whatcha hunting? "I said... Lion" She said come up to my house to I followed her up there and she showed me where the cat had killed her 100 lb. goat on Thursday and drug it over a 6 foot fence. She showed me some track from the day it happened and the paw print was as big as my hand. I gave her a card and asked for her to call me when she has another problem or see's some tracks. She said she would be happy to do that and also said it would be fine for me to come to her house and unload the ATV so that nobody would give me static about having the ATV up there. She turned out to be a real nice lady after our first "semi" heated confrontation.
Still nothing to really post about but I am a step closer to putting one of these dude's in my living room!
