Title: Some Wildlife Photos
Post by: Tikaani on February 05, 2011, 11:33:02 PM
Slow day up here, was rooting through disks and computer and found some pictures I am pretty sure I have not posted since they were not stored in my Photobucket account.  So for something to do this evening as I sit next to the woodstove I'll post them, hope you guys enjoy them.

Trumpeter swans, they show up every year at a small wetland a few miles from our house.

Neat pictures.  Is there a season on Musk Ox?  The Cabela's in Dundee has an exhibit with about 8 adults and a couple of young.  Interesting looking animal.

Jerry, there is a season for musk ox but it is by lottery, I also hesitate to call it hunting since you basically walk up and shoot it.  Getting to them and the cold would be the difficult part. 
Jim, they are a weird looking animal, they are also more closely related to goats and sheep than to oxen.

Great photos!  Thanks for posting.  The musk ox is a rare one, hard to imagine seeing one in the wild.

  What a cool bunch of pics John  :bowingsmilie:.  Never saw a wild musk ox in my life but a fellow down south of me has three and I can tell you I spent a few hours just watching them in the pasture and I can also tell you I never jumped the fence for a closer look :nono:.  The swans we see are Whistlers and not as big as your Trumpeters by the looks of it.  Just wondering what it takes for a moose not to be nice :confused:.

Great pics as usual and I especially liked that bull moose.  Can ya stick him in a corral till I can get up there again?   :laf:
