Title: So, this just happened!
Post by: Hoythunter on August 19, 2018, 05:04:54 PM: Today, August 19th, I was out on my deck and heard what I thought was a bull grunt down below a small ridge my house overlooks. Just for the heck of it I cow called and he immediately returned with a series of grunts. A few minutes later the cow came up with the bull hot on her tail, grunting like crazy. Moments after the last pic was taken he bred her! August 19!? Huh? I’m no moose expert but this seams awfully early?

But, I can't look at those pics and give you a little nudge about defensible space. :tup:

This one is gas. Perhaps I should convert and see what else visits :chuckle:
