Title: A Couple Cool Pics From Today!
Post by barry_sword on May 13^th, 2008, 7:26pm

The 1st is a tree marked by a bear, right beside a den, and the 2nd is a Moose print, and we saw a lot more prints in the soil today, a Cow and a Calf (Moose) were walking the trails just ahead of us, fresh tracks.

You are so lucky to live where wildlife still roams, we have an abundance of seagulls, thats about it.

We were lucky enough to go to the Flying U ranch in Canada 5 years ago. whilst riding one of the trails we saw bear prints going one way so we turned the other way and rode stright into a black bear, it was one of the hightlights of my trip along with seeing Humpback whales in Alaska .

This is also where I saw real life Moose, Beavers, bluebirds and hummingbirds, it is still top of my list of best holidays. I loved what I saw of Canada and would go back at the drop of a hat if I could.

Nice shots, Barry. :)

Although I don't like running into black bears at this time of year (they're a tad cranky before they start to fatten up) , I think I'd rather see the bear. Moose are very powerful animals, and they take offense easily.

Some years ago, there was a bull that hung around one of the back-country lodges I fish out of.

For some reason, he took offense to a rail fence the lodge guys put up to keep the mules in at night. Every evening, regular as a clock, the bull would come down to the lodge and tear the fence apart. I guess he just didn't like it.

I believe the lodge folks finally gave it up as a bad idea. I do know that they never tried to interrupt the bull when he was busy.

Best wishes,

George
