That orange luxury accommodation in the background is inline with the hobby. Bugs, hard ground, rain, heat, all in the name of "fun".

Saw a grizzly cross the highway later... but I was driving so no pic of that one

Those things are all over base!!! There are so many, you can actually hunt them now.

Looks like he's bearly hanging on.



While scouting for moose today we came upon a beauty of a buck bedded in a stand of aspen. He was alert and looking at us, his high 6 x 6 point antlers shimmering in the backlit sunlight. As I dug a camera from my pack he trotted across through the meadow and disappeared up the hill.








Two minutes later another buck came running from across the meadow to stop exactly where the first buck had been bedded. He's a little younger with 5 x 5 points including brow tines. Note his right ear has been torn, perhaps in a bout with the previous buck.

Last weekend I visited friends for banding in Sedona where the hosts have groups of javelina moving through their yards. They always fascinate me and someday I'm going to hunt them.
