Rather than have the virus thread morph into a wildlife thread, I thought I may as well start a new one since it's cheap. Vital only charges me $50 per thread. That's less than they charge you other folks, isn't it?

Anyhow, here are a couple of photos.



These photos were all taken from my bedroom door. And yes, deer do eat dog food.

Was going to put a short video on here of one of the foxes taking an english muffin out of my hand, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

Just saw your reply James about that dang black bear stealing your gas can haha. Reminded me of these damn coyotes up in my neck of the woods. We had this big St Bernard and these coyotes would yelp to get his attention , and he would try to run out and find them. While he was doing that , those sneaky little coyotes would rush in and gulp up all his dog food.

I've only ever seen one coyote on my place. Shot at him, but missed.
And yeah, they are clever varmints.

Man you guys see some cool animals! The only ones we consistently get around our yard is moose. We had a yearling hanging out behind the fence recently. His mom just gave him the boot just a week or two ago!

We had one come thru the yard in broad daylight about 10 years ago while we were at the supper table. Walked right through the kids swing set. Which didn't quite seem right. Saw him again in the same place a couple days later while I was in the back 40 in a tractor and looked across to the yard. I made a fast circle around in the tractor then hoofed a mad dash inside to the gun box and plunked him with the .22. Had been in a snare and likely wanted to be out of its misery. Still hear them sometimes at night. They make some pretty spooky sounds.

Kinda blurry but this is the yearling sitting out behind our fence. We have a protected greenbelt back there so it is not uncommon at all to see moose.

This is a very good thread. Those pics y’all posted are appreciated as it’s cool to see the wildlife from different regions.

Are there any wild horses left anywhere? And aren’t those moose dangerous if they decide to get aggressive? I think Joe Rogan was talking about that in a podcast.

Moose can be dangerous if you provoke them. They're fairly docile otherwise

They are also fucking massive creatures. A male moose is somewhere around 1,500 lbs (700 kg) and 7 feet (2 m) tall from hoof to shoulder, not including the head/neck/antlers. Way bigger than any deer, and much bigger than you probably think.

I used to hate squirrels. Almost every garden I had would get raided by them. I’d come home from work, and there
would be a rodent family reunion going on in the corn they just looted. I quit doing gardens for about 4 years.
Awhile back, this one squirrel was in the backyard. I was ready to shoot it with a pellet gun. He started running off so, I made a squeaking noise. It stopped, and ran right up to me. I was like WTF??? It stayed there for a couple minutes so I reached over and dropped an almond. Long story short, everyday it comes to my patio slider begging for peanuts. My wife hates it cause some mornings while getting her coffee he’ll tap on the window scaring the hell out of her. Anyways, I thought it was kinda cool and figured I’d share. He’s been coming around since October.

I already posted these photos of the bear that stole my gas can, in another thread. Just thought I would repost them here, as this is a more appropriate place.

I have no idea what most bears drive, but his rig must have been empty, as I never did find that gas can.

Yeah , there are still wild horses out there. I know of some in eastern and southern Oregon.

Quick search found this , so I guess there are quite a few left.

" Today, wild horses and burros are present on 179 different BLM Herd Management Areas (HMA), covering 31.6 million acres in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. Each HMA is different in size, geography, and bloodlines. "

How about an Aussie edition? haha These big bastards float over my backyard a lot, sometimes no more than 10-15 feet above me! Like can see them lookin at me and shit, and when I say big bastards I mean 6ft wingspan and stands about 4ft tall! It always stokes me out that some days I can see one of the biggest birds of prey in the world from my loungeroom haha

Jem......we have these huge bastards here , that look like something strait from hell. Damn Turkey vultures. I have seen one literally drag a small deer off the road which was hit by a car. Full grown adults get around 7' - 8' across the wings. BUT.....one thing I'll say about Austrailia.....you guys have just about every creature on earth , and almost every single one of them , want to either kill , or eat humans! haha!
