Guest MikeG Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 What's your problem with uploading photos? If it is something you need help with from the forum end, then please just ask.
Guest BFSleuth Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Madison, I look forward to seeing your pictures of the nest you found. I sent you a PM (Personal Message) with instructions how to add images to your posts on the BFF. At the very top of the page you will see an envelope icon, which will have a red circle with a number in it (for the number of unopened new PM's). Click on that and you can access the PM's.
Guest MikeG Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 That red circle is a square on my screen, BFS........
Guest BFSleuth Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Not everyone is blessed with a Mac....
BobbyO Posted September 5, 2012 SSR Team Posted September 5, 2012 The day use area is on the far side of Cottage Grove Lake (very near where the London Footprints were found last spring), with at least two creeks nearby, backing to forest all the way up the Cascades. Interesting, hope you can post the pics..
Guest talithamouse Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 This has me wondering too. Here in the Taos, New Mexico area there are sightings in the dead of winter... and Jan,Feb, and March can be very cold. I'm thinking Mr. big wanders up on to the mountain in the summer and back down following the game to their wintering grounds. That all being said, Mr. big has also been seen in the winter on Taos mountain and it's a 14 thousand ft peak. So who knows. I have been going out to the wintering grounds of elk and deer, now in the summer months looking for tree breaks, shelters and odd things a foot in the woods. Looking in the logical places that game would winter here and finding tree breaks and so on. anyway just sharing.
ShadowBorn Posted September 6, 2012 Moderator Posted September 6, 2012 My thoughts on where they go for the winter and this is speculative would be the heavy pines and deep valleys.
Guest Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Problem with photos is I am technologically challenged, lol. Right now I don't have even the cords to get them off my camera, Sorry it's pathetic, but there it is
Guest toejam Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Sorry but I was just too lazy to read the whole thread. Just thought I'd throw in my 12 cents (inflation). Through my personal research and experiences, I'd say they don't go anywhere. They have their range and they stick to it. They don't migrate. They may be less active or more wary where they roam but I think once they find an area with the resources needed to sustain, they stick around. Took a quick look. As elusive as they are, they don't need to hide in the PNW to escape the throngs of humans looking for them. Their abilities enable them to be in places you'd never dream they could be. As for where they go during the day, they can be anywhere they want to be. They move with stealth. We're so ignorant that we think were just too **** smart. Persistence and knowledge will give you answers. This is one species that never ceases to amaze. There's no other like it.
Guest Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) In my neck of the woods, In the summer they go to the highest elevations in winter they drop down into the river basins. Most of the activity and sightings (provided the reports where true) happen in the winter at lower elevations. In my area there are alot of easy routes from the high sierras into fertile river basins. They have a corridor they travel just like all animals that follow the food. We have a spot that is like magic for deer hunting. There is a place that the deer come out of Yosemite National Park and move down into lower elevation. All it has to do is snow. Go to that spot and guaranteed there will be SO many deer it is crazy. Back in the day it was the best place and time to be to bag a real big buck. Secret got out long ago and now it is almost too dangerous to hunt this area for fear of lame ass hunters blowing you away. We got some real losers who come from the central valley up here to hunt.
