Chech wild and crazy out West

[Chechem]

Hello from Silver Gate, Montana.  Hey, it's just 26 road hours away!


Like the tongue??


Think they saw me?


Even without antlers you can tell which is the guy and which one hates sex!  


Camera hog!

Took this one for Ricky and Dottie.  Cute little tree in the snow.

  thank you Chechem that is a really great pic. Are you being safe out there? RTR!

[Chechem]

Safe?  There are no people, so certainly safe from disease. But I had an encounter with a bull bison. I was sitting on a log overlooking Soda Butte Creek. The creek was loud, so I didn’t hear the bison coming through dense evergreens until it was 10’ away. My log seat was apparently on his trail. I stood and (of course) turned on my video camera. He was coming at me walking. You never appreciate how huge a bison head is until you’re 5’ away. A big lodgepole pine was to my left, so I stepped behind it. He stopped and stared. Bisons have tunnel vision; he just wanted to walk his trail, and wasn’t going around me. So as he approached the tree I walked around it and was facing his butt. With that he walked on. I have video, but can’t put that on here. I’ll try for capturing still pics from it. Pretty cool once he walked away. They’re not real aggressive until rut season; late summer. But gotta say, a huge brown beast coming through the brush is exciting.

BTW, one reason I was sitting on that bluff over the river is I saw Grizzly Tracks along the river:

Can't do YouTube.  They don't like my gmail name (??).  It's on Facebook.  Friend me and you'll see it.

Good story, Chech.  How many BPM did you reach?

I didn't either until LF told me to stop using her account to watch wolf videos.

Tuesday May 19th:

BIG DAY FOR BIRD WATCHING.

I drove up into the Beartooth Mountains and hiked around.  In the distance is Pilot Peak, and in the foreground is the only car I met along the way.


Too much snow for much hiking, but I did find a big, quail-like bird: BLUE GROUSE.



That stump behind the bird looks mystical.

Also took pics of a YELLOW WARBLER that was in the willows about 15' from my back door.  One of America's prettiest birds:

Hey, that's cool.  I especially liked how it stopped and turned it's head to look at you then you slunk behind that little pine tree like it would protect you.
