In the wild: Animals edition

@Bridger Tags are allocated to hunters to give them rights to harvest animals in certain regions during certain seasons. This was in a big game hunting region. You only get one bull moose tag in Colorado for your whole life.
so, the likelihood of a hunter going after this guy is very slim. Cougars are the only predator who could threaten a moose, aside from a pack of wolves, but the latter are only recently reintroduced here and to my knowledge aren't in this region at all. With this guy's size, he won't be the first choice for cougars.
We did see a fresh deer carcass on this outing that had been killed by a cougar.
Think it, be it.

@mclaincausey …it was an innuendo joke…

Apologies @mclaincausey for my shit attempt at humour.
Thanks for the explanation though. Really interesting to hear about humans' relationship with big animals in this day and age.

Looks like goose is on tonight’s dinner menu for Mr. Wiley:

@SFMCfranky so awesome!!!

@SFMCfranky ran into this guy at work last month and he would not budge. Got within like 10' until I was too intimidated to get any closer.

@sabergirl Reeves's muntjac. They’re fairly common near me but don’t often come into the garden.

I think people looked at importing muntjacs into the US, but determined it was too dear
