    TRAVELS: What animal have you seen increase in number the most?

    A followup.. Here are ,pics of some big horn sheep in a public park, in Boulder City Nv. They come in from the surrounding mountains, and thru a housing track to eat the grass and find shade under the parks trees. They will let people get 50-70 feet from them before they spook. A lot of people...

    Winter driving And exploring

    One thing I have not seen mentioned, is to make sure you are putting them on correctly. Specifically that they ''ARE NOT' installed inside out. This is where the chain connections are to the inside, and not the correct way of the buckle openings to the outside. Doing it the incorrect way can...

    TRAVELS: What animal have you seen increase in number the most?

    Yes, that smell was bad. I knew what it was, even though I didn't have the house variety at home. Even with all the snow I wondered if I would step in something while watching the rocks around me. I have never seen one in person, but have come across tracks. Saw a print (fresh) right on the...

    Dealing with Snakes?

    Yah, I have to follow that direction. My dog being bitten would upset me greatly. No kids, but I fall on the safe than sorry camp. In Nevada it's rattlesnakes, in Southern nevada...it can also be a variant called a Mojave green. A very aggressive snake. The UP railroad actually posts a sign for...

    TRAVELS: What animal have you seen increase in number the most?

    I heard a first person account of a person's encounter with one. Seems that hunter during blackpowder season, was walking down a fence line, when the hair on the back of his head stood up. Seems that when he stopped and looked around,...there right behind him, maybe 25 feet away was a big Couger...

    TRAVELS: What animal have you seen increase in number the most?

    Good post..... It is a shame that too many people just look at the nostalgia aspect, and don't stop to consider the whole picture, and the ramifications that go with it. Wolf packs cause population numbers to crash quickly, if their numbers are not managed. Like dogs, look at how many pups...

    Mmm...that first photo must be our societies modern interpretation of Easter Island. But definitely not real art.

    TRAVELS: What animal have you seen increase in number the most?

    When you think of all the damage wild pigs do, you would think that all those landowners in Texas (90% privately owned), would open their property to hunters with the hope that they could greatly reduce the pig numbers. You watch YOU-TUBE where farmers pay large $$$ to helicopter depredation...

    Old mines, ghost towns, etc......

    Just love the old bridge to nowhere, and those stone, rail line abutment's on the abandoned grade.

    TRAVELS: What animal have you seen increase in number the most?

    What was it 2 or 3 years ago, a varmint hunter, looking for coyotes, shot that wolf near the Grand Canyon. It had traveled from Idaho or Montana, all the way South, and had started it's journey back North. Coyotes can be scraggly or bushy, depending on their genealogy and food sources. That...

    That's what's great on this forum. Lots of knowledge, from a lot of people. Also the links to out side sites. Safety, proper techniques, stories of recovery situations, vehicle equipment etc, all helping members to enjoy the outdoors, and outfit and explore. A Segway there.....[emoji2]...

    TRAVELS: What animal have you seen increase in number the most?

    Southern Ut deer have blossomed in the last 15 years. I have had them bedded down 70 feet from camp. There are mt lion in the area, but road hunters with their dogs keep them in check. Last year in the meadow below, a Mt Lion killed a doe in broad daylight. There were campers all around, on all...

    TRAVELS: What animal have you seen increase in number the most?

    Some additional pics from a work trip to Canada. A Buffalo, And a caraboui . Never expected to see them in NW Canada, let alone in such numbers. The herd was eating salt off the road, and was over 50 animals, maybe as many as 75. The caraboui had also been eating the melting ice and chowing down...

    TRAVELS: What animal have you seen increase in number the most?

    Here in Southern Nevada, south of Las Vegas, it is tortoises. In the last 4 years, they have been seen in more quantities, then ever before. The BLM has now mandated that for off-road testing (commercial projects), any permit granted requires a 'spotter' to ride along with a driver. As a...

    Will buy the complete set once season 9 is done, and a price is released from HBO. Too many issues with pirated copies on Amazon. Years ago i did the 'band of brothers' thru Costco...no issues on any of the disc's:grin:

    Light Up the Night

    The Aussie...Michael, on his you tube channel, did a good video on the newer high power lights vs more standard halogen. For periods of road travel (light traffic), he found that the halogen lights were much better, as they had reduced eye fatigue. A very apparent condition from the cab of his...

    Camp Photos!

    How far above the tree line? What altitude were you at? Years ago i watched a documentary of how food was produced with limited water and how the food was grown that didn't freeze due to the climate. I think about what the New World would have looked like with the Aztecs expanding North...

    OB Approved Chain Saws

    Agreed, but I do miss the baby McCullough chainsaw I had a long time ago. This pictured saw size is what i would get as a secondary for small trimming or smaller limbs for the firewood stack. PS. I loved those McCullough beaver ads when i was young. They sold a lot of saws in their...
