Yep!

 

[dmandoes]

What r they?

 

[coloradoman]

What r they?

Chokecherry

 

[2lumpy]

What r they?

chokecherries.

 

[Bluehair]

Well, I bean slackin and the chokecherry’s pulled me back in. We have a lot of them and the birds get every one. Poor deer have to eat the bushes.

 

[Bluehair]

A make up post. This was the “little” fire the neighbor started the other day. A little different wind direction and this could have been bad. The neighbors saved the trailer from his little trash fire.

Siblings. Guess not. Looks like the site is messing up again. File too large for the server to process.

 

[Bluehair]

The grass was pretty tall this year, so the baby turkeys were pretty big before I saw them.

 

[Bluehair]

Lot’s of birds this year, but a banner year for hummingbirds. The Safeway people want to hook me to a BP monitor because of all the sugar I buy

A Yellowheaded Blackbird showed up this summer. I think they’re pretty common around the country but I don’t remember ever having seen one before.

Rocky with a ear problem.

 

[Bluehair]

Sweet. This guy had an ear problem too. Here’s last year and this year. He’s 4 now, pretty much the end of the line for a 20” 4x around here. I’ll miss the ornery little guy.

 

[2lumpy]

Drove by the Pitchfork B-Ranch this morning.

Anybody but me think this is a cool old aspen.

A hard-ly used Blaze Orange SFW hat if you’re the first one to share where it’s located.

Yup, pretty unusual aspen. That would run my stove for about 2 weeks in the winter. We have a big old dead spruce on our place that looks kinda like that. I never thought to take a picture of it.

An artist with a chainsaw could have fun with that. I see a Bigfoot.

Is your Bigfoot picking his teeth or combing his hair?

But if we’re gonna go there….. I’ll see your bet and raise you a Van Gogh. A Hamas artist with a chain saw sees a post October 7 menorah.

And with that OutdoorWriter just went for a spin.

Sorry Tony, no need to come see me again.

Sorry guys, my pics won't post anymore. Says the files are too large.

Desert buck. Don't know why my others won't post.

Ssshhhhhhh…

 

[nontypical]

Well my pics won't download any more. Same camera. Same SD card. File too large for server to process. Nothing about my pics is any different than before. My camera is by no means a high-quality camera. I know yours is better, Blue!

Weird.

@Bluehair What camera are you using? Loooking to upgrade.

It’s a Leica VLux. A really easy point and shoot with a decent zoom. Easy to carry and no goofing around with lenses.

I’ve found that I take more pictures if the equipment is easy to use. Here’s a fire from Sunday, with a landmark a few will recognize.

Yup. The continuous shutter thing. It helps that I have a zillion martins buzzing around everywhere.

An old elk pic since the elk are bugling behind the house this morning.

 

[Brute]

 

[Bluehair]

Careful there kiddo.

 

[Bluehair]

Bonus chokecherry pic for Lumpy. This is on our road in the mountains. There aren’t even enough animals to eat them up there. I’ll have to try a chokecherry rasin.

 

[boomer]

A few from this weekends elk hunt. There's a lot of beauty in the desert.

Love those wild vineyards.

 

[2lumpy]

If we had any mule deer, they’d be in tall cotton this year.

 

[Bluehair]

Those are some whopper acorns. Turkeys should love them.

 

[wweaver79]

Good morning to everyone in the elk woods. First morning back in NM walking my bow.

This guy is one eyeing me telling me I won’t kill an elk sitting there playing on my phone eating sour patch kids

 

[Bluehair]

We’re getting a new puppy. Ol Blue’s life is going to change a little for a while.

Bonus chokecherry pic for lumpy.

 

[coloradoman]

A productive Saturday evening for sure. Gallon of chokecherries and 3 grouse….
Sorry I forgot this isn’t supposed to be a dead thread

 

[Bluehair]

 

[wweaver79]

I was bored not listening to bugles that should be happening I played with stupid settings on my phone instead of glassing

 

[wweaver79]

Good morning everyone

 

[Bluehair]

Starting to look like fall in the high country. And a good day for a ride.

 

[2lumpy]

Anyone make jelly out of wild Buffalo Berries or some call Bull Berries. Not as good as chokecherry syrup but pretty dang good in their own right.

I think I have some of those in the south 40? They’re about 4’ tall and the fruit is gone as soon as it turns red. So, no.

 

[2lumpy]

My wife tossed this on my lap then I came in from spotting elk this morning on the Fish Lake. She said, “you wanna keep this.”

About 1980 Hancock Flat. Fish Lake Mt. Utah. Bunch of mountain men wannabes.

Just after sunrise, before the lodge fires got rekindled for breakfast. Mine was in the back, on the far right. You can tell it was only a year or two old, the lodge poles are still long and white above the flaps. (The older more seasoned guys told me my lodge poles need to be as long above the flats and they were below the flaps. It sees like mine were well over 30’ long. Also, the flaps on my lodge weren’t covered with smoke residue yet.

There were some dang good ole boys circled up around the lodge fires in that camp. Mine was 18’ diameter and you could stuff about 30 men, woman and children in it, if we made three circles around the fire. For fun we were shooting out candle flames, (in the dark), splitting round lead balls…… on an axe blade, shooting feathers in half, tell’en lies, sending clay jugs of apricot brandy around the fire circle, and the pickers play’en their ax until their fingers bled or they passed out.

Oh, it was quite a time for us wannabes. I think I’ll keep the photo for a few more years.

Happy ML season Colorado dudes

 

[Brute]

Rocky

 

[Bluehair]

Well, for the next week I will be live twirping from my ML lazy boy.

Here’s what Yogi left me Friday night. That answers the age old question about where bears poop. At least he didn’t destroy the Traeger.

That’s a mind bender………. The flowers shining brightly in the sun, the buck in the middle of the flowers and in the shade……

Here’s the ML blind pics from this morning (good ones coming of that buck when I get the camera dumped). Got washed out. Elk were on fire and we’ll get after them starting tomorrow.

No use to explain it blue, I’m too dumb to understand photography.

 

[Bluehair]

Ok, day 1 doves. Kinda surprised at how many are still around. Probably had close to 100 come to water in 2 hours.

Day 3 buck from yesterday . They’re killing the bushes

Great image blue. The contrast in size between the cows and the bull are amazing.

Grainy because it was right at dark. He didn’t have that many cows in the morning because some of his competition was eliminated. Got to help a nice old feller break him down and get him in the shade. Made a new friend yesterday

Going to Monticello to chase a Titleist today. I love that course

A county road goes right through this ranch. For years, these racks hung there for a view as you drove the cty road. They all disappeared a few years ago.

Many years ago there was an old line shack on the Strip that the OUTSIDE was covered with lion skins. Back then I didn’t have sense enough to carry a camera.

Glassing under the full moon. Yes, that’s the moon.

 

[Bluehair]

Weird make up pic. I have never seen a deer roll its ears up to shoo bugs, and had no idea they could. It took about 1/10 of a second so I got lucky on this shot.

 

[wweaver79]

I miss it already after two days.

Rufus hummingbirds?

 

[Bluehair]

Rufus hummingbirds?

Yes, and either Anna’s or Broadtailed hummers; I’m not good enough at birds to tell the difference.

I think this is a Coopers Hawk from her tail.

Yes, that's a Coopers Hawk. We have Rufus here on the coast too in limited numbers. Thanks for the reply.

Sorry Tony ODW, I couldn't help but to respond. I caught a Coopers Hawk in a box trap once. I used a dead pigeon that it killed as bait. I kept it in a cage for about a day and then released it.

Hey, no worries. I have a bunch of other crappy images you can fix for me. I just report things the way I see them.

I have a couple of better Coopers Hawk images buried in this thread somewhere. Someday I’m going to look at the whole thread from beginning to end again. Probably crack a cold one and have a chat with Tony.

I miss that dude.
