Sunday Pic of the Day

I caught this fern in the color change, prior to start curling up, and seasonal death. From my observation the color change to curling process takes about two days. It was kind of interesting to look at up close. A highly carcinogenic plant from what I have read and can make you sick from eating them. Now I understand why I never see deer feeding on them.

EDABC8F6-88F1-4C06-B060-2793EE32B7EC.jpegJust slipped into the thick reprod and Heavy brush to walk an elk trail , and crossing a small creek in early morning, you see these , and the the question in your mind is just how long ago was that , minutes or hours??? I had been stocking a five point bull with one cow and they dipped behind a little knob and cut into the timber 100 yds or so from me and so I was trying to figure out exactly where they went in and there’s only one elk Trail in the back so I knew I was gonna walk that , he slipped into the timber to the just right of that trail but I still walked it but it was pretty tense few moments! It’s only a black bear , But knowing we had super heavy rain for 70% of the day prior they didn’t end until late afternoon I knew those tracks were in the last 12 hours, But my feeling was they were earlier that morning or not long before I got there never did find the elk and then walked the elk trail through the woods and had a trail cam in a meadow on the other side of the canyon and there had been a herd in front of that camera from 6-7 AM when I was stocking a bull on my side of the canyon at 7 AM it was a fun morning.


the heavily used elk trail I slow walked around the canyon
