Elk getting an afternoon snack.

I was up quite a ways and I wasn’t expecting them to react like that. Deer and elk hardly pay it any mind even if they do see it.

Got a pic on the trail cam of one cougar and put the drone in the air to see if I could catch it in the open. I wasn’t expecting to see what I saw. Video not great as things were happening quick and I had to maintain altitude to clear the power lines. I think this is the mother and two kittens...

The elk spent the afternoon on the homestead so I flew the drone up to see how the herd is doing. Just the ladies and the littles but they all look like they’re doing well. I always like to see the calves. Between my place and the neighbor’s place there are at least 4 cougars hanging around and...

I’d purchased an RCBS Rapid Acquisition Shooting System (RASS) some time back and used it mostly for plinking at ground squirrels with air rifles. They are no longer made and hard to find but the other day I stumbled upon one for sale on the local Marketplace and it was available at a good...

Not a good pic here but elk getting a snack before playing soccer.

Those turned out great.
