Guest Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) While hiking out in the woods, I spied something hiding on the grassy floor in front of me.. Edited March 14, 2011 by St.Croix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 before clicking on the picture I'd guessed Grouse, or maybe a red trillium.... BTW your camera takes sharp pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tracker Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hey that sort of looks like ET finger? What do you guy's think of that polar bear attack report @ Alert? In the post before the pics of Alert CFS? Although I fast tracked to the good stuff, it really happened. Imagine having a big white looking in your window because your it's dinner? I wish i was up there for that one. What a hard story to beat, Hunting down a couple of big white fur balls in a snowstorm at night. I had to get the next round after that one.

Guest Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Sorry, I DO love stories like that...Polar bears altho are my fav...yeah they're dangerious, yeah they're a problem in the northern communities...however..they are still the most large cat-like of all the bears behavior-wise. Have you seen the Russian Researcher who works with them? He's got them down to a "T". He lives with them, not nearly as crazy as the" Grizzly Man". I'd say how much I envy you your time up in Alert...but Your head would swell!! Can't have that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 before clicking on the picture I'd guessed Grouse, or maybe a red trillium.... BTW your camera takes sharp pics! I knew it was roughly somewhere close because I had followed this fawn and it's mother down a long path with my binoculars. Moving slowly I finally stopping raised and pointed my camera to where I thought I had last seen the fawn. I was even more surprised when I looked thru the lens to where I could then see the sunlight in the background illuminating it's ears. From there I got another surprise or shiver as I could see him/her looking right at me trying not to move a millimeter. I definitely got lucky on this one.

Guest Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 That's a white tailed deer right? Correct.. A young fawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tracker Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) The Pics, didn't attach, sigh..... If you imagine a moose waaaay down the road after the dip, that's what I woke up to... Sorry i got bogged down replying in other threads, nice pics .I ve seen that big goose up close too. Wanted to take a shot at it in revenge for the live ones that crap purple every where. I did some long haul driving alone. it dangerous even with some one to spell you. People don't sleep too well in a car so it affects their reaction time, Then you hit a moose because it take you too long to see or recognize it. Did you pull over and do any hiking? It sounds like you had a great adventure. Edited March 16, 2011 by tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 All of these locations are in the Mt Hood area in Oregon. These are all areas I check out routinely.

Guest tracker Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hey great shots OM, Oregon is a great place to go exploring ! I would be tempted to keep on going in back country like that. Compass and survival skills can come in handy when out searching for the big smellies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tracker Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Here's a couple more shots of winter in the CAF. Sorry if it makes anyone feel cold. I am going to move on to spring / summer next. practice, practice, practice. Adjusting to the eliments is vital. Squad on patrol, the fun never ends in the forces I must be boring people with my pics and stories? Hey I am just trying to keep the thread going until it catches on.

Guest tracker Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) Here a pic of the river I hike down to on occassion back at the bridge. Actually i'am hiking by there today, keeping an eye out for coyotes and coydogs we may need a cull soon. They are starting to get too bold and the packs too big that = danger. Sorry if that bothers anyone but they attack people and pets in their own back yards up here sometimes. Edited March 26, 2011 by tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cervelo Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Found this yesterday thought it was kinda cool. Looks like someone never got their bonfire going 50yrs ago. Odd thing was it looks like someone has been taking stuff off of some parts and adding stuff to other areas. Its about 8' high and 6' around.
