Caribou are really not afraid of man, Aqua, most never having seen one.
It was common when the guys hunted to see herds of 10,000 on the move, and if some were downed for meat (and a lot of the servicemen hunted FOR meat - by law you cannot kill them without taking them with you) the others would mill around and look over their shoulder:

"Whatcha doin' Mister? Huh??"

One funny story was when a fellow with an orange jacket was hunting with other men and somehow ended up in the middle of a giant circle of caribou.
Someone on the perimeter got nervous and fired, so all the men did, wanting to down one before they fled.

When the shots ceased, the man with the orange jacket in the center stood up, miraculously having survived the barrage, and yelled, pointing to a dead one at his feet:

"I'm claiming this one at my feet, and none of you SOB's had better challenge the fact I must have shot it!!"

Of course, no one did!

*LOL* Great story!

Lori, that rose is just gorgeous!

Thanks, Billie. Of course, you know, but others may not, this is my other favorite rose.......my Helena Renaissance, my "BillieRose". :-)

[ValerieUSA]

Oh - that's so lovely. Wouldn't I just love to have a complexion like those petals!

"but they don't even yell out "BS" on the refrain here.........."

They don't??!

How in the heck can they listen and NOT say it??
That's part of the darn song!!

[Aquamarine]

That poor man, he must have been living right to survive all that.
Great story! :)

I don't believe there is enough bandwidth to even begin to list the things they do differently........but since I'm in THEIR territory, I hold my tongue........... and darn if it isn't hard to do......lol

[Pippin]

[COB1]

"Was I right about the scope choice??"

Definitely!!

Thanks, pard.
Now help me get the darn thing sighted in Sunday!

ONE SHOT, ONE CLAY!

You know I especially love all those 'stories' of the old buildings!

[Mama_Bear]

Wouldn't I just love to have a complexion like those petals!

You and me, both. :-)

The grizzly-killin' weapon I fired in Alaska was a 400 H&H Magnum with scope.

[ValerieUSA]

Texas sure has its share of tale-bearing buildings. This is also in Satin, Texas:

You and Mama_Bear are posting some of the prettiest pictures! They're very relaxing to look at.
I'm going to turn in now. May God bless you all.

I can almost 'hear' the congregants singing, Valerie - thanks!

[LadyX]

"Was it Eaker???"

Coulda been his daddy! !!
LOL, h !!

[Mama_Bear]

That is a very pretty signature image. It looks like rain drops falling on those petals. :-)

Good night, Aqua. See you tomorrow.

A rather late hello to you. Another cool thread added to your impressive portfolio. Thank you.

I entered name and date for the calendar, hope I did it right. Proud to be a Freeper for a long time now. Thank God for Jim Robinson.
