Dang straight !!!!
I'm going calling in the morning.
A guy and his boy backed out but I'm still committed to going.
I busted butt to get the shade cloth top on the new pergola.
I mowed, trimmed, weeded, and did a boat project .
To free up the day, the daughter is picking up little GD at school .
Dinner will be crock pot stew,
Free and clear.
Now if the dogs will come out and play It'll be a fine day.
On a side note, I got some fuel line tubing, tubing bender set, some 1/2 Aluminum rivets, and fuel line clamps in the mail.
Stopped my the steel provider and checked on some tubing for my tongue project on the bug trailer.
WOW is that stuff pricey. $335 for a 20 foot 2/1/2 X 2 1/2 thick wall and a 20 foot 3X3 thin wall,
dang.
I have a plan in my mind on how to turn the rudders , should not be to complicated.
IF by chance a coyote blindly come with in 6mm range I'll have some pictures.
PS last half of May and first part of June, is a tough time to call, mom is in the den with the pups.
I'm guessing nothing came within 6mm range :laf:
6mm Rem
Any one I could recover...
Most stopped at 500 yards plus, don't know why

This stopped with in range but on privet land and across a raging canal of irrigation water.

That last one was still upright :laf:
Them that stop out at five hundred yards are smarter then the average dog.
Great pics. That bear is short legged, and ears kind of out on the corner of his head, signs of a big one IME.
Those yellow flowers behind the bear look like what we called "sunflowers" in south central BC. Or they could be avalanche lilies. If they are avalanche lilies, they are GOOD to eat. Not just edible but really tasty, especially in a salad but I like to dig them up and eat the white root part like a green onion. The lilies have a shepherd's crook kind of stem with the flower turned down open toward the ground.
Love my 6mm, a custom Mauser with 26" Douglas Premium heavy barrel. 'Course, one of my sons loves it and he and his son now hunt with it. I'll not get it back and that is fine. If we get a chance to call lions together when I can shoot, I'll "borrow" it!
Yes the bear was a shooter for sure.
The flowers behind the bear are nothing that dramatic.
Just plane old dandelions , In the spring we get them by the thousands and the
bears LOVE to eat the flowers. Lota times the bears will have yellow lips...
Ditto to bears eating dandelion flowers! I used to say that in late May early June every patch of dandelions sprouted a bear.
Thats a Rippa of a bar! I kind of lost interest in hunting them a few years ago but the last couple years my interest is been picked up again. I may have to try and whomp one with my muzzleloader pistol this year🐻🐼🐨
