Bigtex Posted December 9, 2020 Author Posted December 9, 2020 Here are a few hike pics that are off subject, but cool.....a very friendly duck, cool cactus plant, a large Alligator Gar up in a tree, and a long way from water, weird. 1
NorthWind Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 @Bigtex Aren't alligator gars five or six feet long and 150 pounds or so? Was the area flooded at one time? Or did something put that fish up there? So strange, either way!
Bigtex Posted December 11, 2020 Author Posted December 11, 2020 The Alligator gars can get to over 10' and 200 lbs., this is a different species but still big.......hard to imagine how it got there.
JKH Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 It didn't necessarily have to get there when it was killed. Got any big cats, or perhaps even coons or vultures? Just guesses.

Bigtex Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 Hoping everyone had a great Christmas, and wishing you a Happy New Year! Exciting news for me....an old family friend finally came clean with some Hairyman activity. His family has a 4000 acre ranch, been in their family a long time, lotta hardwoods, no hunting, and set up as a private natural reserve. Anyway, they have Elk on the property and a few of the males die each year during the rut from fighting, dead on the ground one day, gone the next.....no trace or drag marks, clearly being carried off. My buddy went out at dusk recently to inspect a dead Elk, he just wants to be sure there aren't any sign of poaching. While inspecting the animal, he was overcome with fear, then heard movement in the nearby brush. He whipped out his camera with thermal capabilities, and got a nice video, and shows a large animal crouched down on all 4 legs, get up on 2 and run off. I'll be heading there in a few weeks to do several days of camping:) 3

Bigtex Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 I will be using my home made game cams on this trip, not worried about upsetting this group, lol.
Bigtex Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 I never use any techy stuff in my area near where I live, all bets are off at my buddies ranch.
BlackRockBigfoot Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Any chance that we can see the thermal footage?
Bigtex Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 Definitely trying to get that from my buddy to post on here. 1
