Setting the Bar

[squirrel]

Down but not out, the pugnacious squirrel leaves the safety of the nest and approaches the dog house for another leg lift...




Just shy of 5 months my little puppy dug up her first yesterday. I found the righty and was all full of myself and looked over and she was furiously digging under the lefty 5 yards away, she found it but wasn't sure what to do with it.

It was the lesser of the two and I want her to find mates so I beat on her for awhile using the one I found to make her see it my way...

Pretty sure now she knows to fetch the one up and look for the mate pronto, but if not the whoopin's will continue until her morale improves.

Great antlers

Nice set most the Bucks I'm watching still packing as of Sunday. What do you do with a set like that display them or through them into your pile? Does your antler buyer pay more for a set like that or just pay per pound?

Nice pics Topaz...

More singles... more beatings She got a bit tuckered for the last six miles or so... youngsters! I, of course, was just getting my second wind after 12 miles, wishing I had another twenty shoved in my pack just to make it fair. Does Ibuprofen mix with whiskey well?

Party balloons multiply faster that rabbits. Makes you wonder just what balloons do at birthday parties.

Hiking miles for the road and finding party balloons is one of my pet peeves

Looks like that pup ran himself into the ground. I heard a rumor last Saturday that CPW will consider a shed season in your neck of the woods, which will surely eventually result in a statewide regulation. We knew that's where this was heading.

What? We knew where it was going when they started implementing closures in portions of the state. Guys move to other areas, people bitch, and eventually we get a statewide season. Ron Velarde said last weekend that CPW will now be considering a shed season in Middle Park. Whether you think he's a tool or not, he has the power to do it.
