This piggyback ride did not end well for the Black Duck but the American Goshawk ate well this evening.Hammonds Plains; Nov 30, 2024 Krista Melville
Deer Hunt Extraordinaire
Still on the deer theme from yesterday. Amazing tracking footage at 7 min mark. Use the scroll bar to zip ahead if needed. This scene is so familiar to me with the snow covered conifer, surprise encounters and instant excitement. I never had one head in my direction this close but I have had several very …
Pack Goats 2.0
Thought I’d share some pictures from our adventures this fall. Between late August and early November I logged 30+ days and 200+ miles with the boys in the Idaho backcountry on various pack trips. Most of these were solo adventures, just myself and 10 of my best 4 legged friends. Nathan Putnam I mentioned …
Deer Death Trap
This seems to have happened last week after the snow in the northeast. I have mentioned deer mishaps several times here. This one is among the most dramatic. Before the cameras to record all these events, this guy’s story would be laughed at as BS.
Fake Out
This is how I leave my blind all year long. The deer get used to seeing someone in there so when I’m in there no big deal. Try it! The head came from a beauty school. They just throw the used ones away after they cut the hair. Rann Robinson I laughed. 5000+ comments. Need …
Sometimes you want it to be easy.
That is the response you want. LOL

They concluded that this raptor might be a rare hybrid between a Steller’s …

Most of the grabens are 25 to 75 meters (82 to 246 feet) deep and extend for about 25 kilometers (16 miles). The origin of these distinctive features dates back some …
Jack Russells and Westport, MA
Jack Russell’s to the core. The pink jumpers only makes it more obvious. LOL I am reminded of being on the Westport Beach in Massachusetts bass fishing and seeing three running for me. I had a 10 inch bass fly hanging off my rod and they started jumping savagely for that while the owner …
Two different species of human ancestors at same spot.
Scientists know this because they have examined 1.5-million-year-old fossils they unearthed and have concluded they represent the first example of two sets of hominin footprints made about the same time on an ancient lake shore. A fossil first: Scientists find 1.5-million-year-old footprints of two different species of human ancestors at same spot A neat find. I heard …
