I was thinking about all the really kool things i have witness while out in the field and thought this would be a fun post where we could "share around the campfire".
Anyone want a cold one before i start?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I had a few neat things happen on the same trip while guiding a deer client.
We were watching a huge golden eagle circling overhead and out a ways, when all of the sudden he folded in his wings and made a dive to the ground like a patriot missle!!
When the dust cleared and to our total disbelief, he had a fawn mule deer, it was insane to watch!!
And on another day, same trip, we were glassing some muleys on a hill side. I was lucky enough to have my scope on the right deer at the right time.
Just as the big doe was to crest the top of the ridge, a big mountain lion sprang out of nowhere, totally airbourne and pounced on that deer!!
They rolled around both screaming their guts out, kicking, biting you name it, but she got away, i couldn't beleive it!!
The big lion just sat there like he was surprised himself that she'd escaped, tongue hanging out and breathing like he was having an athsma attack!!
On an elk huinting trip one day, we were watching two bulls totally getting after it in the fiersest fight we had ever seen!
Well, after about 10 minutes of this, we saw an antler go flying through the air and the bull running arond in circles like his ass was on fire!
When looking at the bull through the glasses, you could totally see his brains exposed!
My buddy walked over and picked up the antler, it had about a 6-8" chunk of skull plate still attatched clear down to the eye socket!!
Ok....who's next??
