I was up at Larson hill on the Coq yesterday ATVing and came aross a bunch of moose bones .... It was a young bull .
The skull and a few rib bones and a leg bone were in the main pile and there were ribs, vertibrae and leg bones scattered in different spots in a hundred foot radius ?
It made me think it must have been wolves ?? each one taking a chunk and eating it in different spots ? I would think a bear or cougar would kill and eat in one spot ?
What are everyones thoughts ?
I also saw a young moose on a pipeline cut .... I crested a hill and he was right in front of me, he walked off the trail into the tree's and then just stopped and looked at me . I shut the Rhino off and walked towards him .... he would take a few steps and then pause and look at me again, he wasn't scared at all ? I followed him until the bush got too thick and he dissapeared .
It's amazing how an animal that size can walk through bush without even making a sound, yet the bush got so thick I couldn't even get through it :-o
I also saw a couple bears .... one walked right past us on the road where our trucks were parked and made his way up the bank towards the highway . he didn't seem to pay much attention even when we whistled at him .... no fear at all :-?
And then driving home, between the Juliet creek overpass and the Mine creek exit I seen a BIG !! blackie ... big head on him and a redish brown color on his back .... would have made a nice rug .
He was relaxing under a tree about 50 ft from the game fence watching the cars go by :lol:
It was a good day in the bush, lots of interesting sights :-)
