Good pictures.
I was on my way to town yesterday, and a mile down the road from our dead end road there he was ... a Fish and Wildlife biologist releasing a Southern Red Wolf ... probably trapped and examined for health.
Everybody has their own ideas about such things. The Feds reintroduced that species into the refuges here without any input from those of us who live here, as usual. They think they need to be reestablished.
I don't like 'em ... slinking about in the woods. Most of the time all you see is a hind-end slipping into the brush, or a blur as one vanishes before your eyes. More often you see the scene-of-the-kill.
We didn't need wolves back around here, but we've sure got 'em.

Wow! Awesome pictures, Quickshot.
Wild canines, whatever one may think about them, are pretty amazing animals. Most folks aren't aware that the most successful predator in Africa isn't the lion or the cheetah. It's the African Wild Dog. They boast hunting success rates as high as 70% compared to a measly 25% for lions. Even though their favorite prey animals (gazelles, mostly) can out-pace them step-for-step, the pack has the strength and numbers to give chase until they eventually wear their prey down.

Actually, these pictures weren't taken from a treestand.
Here's the real story on this.

Those are awesome pictures Quikshot. This past hunting season a yearling moose, ( 1 1/2 years old ) got tangled up in a fence line along our property, a couple days later all I found was a little hide and bones. The head was no where to be found.
I'm sure that moose was eaten alive by coyotes, the same or next day. My hunting partner saw this same calf moose with her mother a week before. He said he thought it had a bit of a limp. that might explain why he got caught up in the fence, likely couln't get his back legs far enough up to clear the barb wire.

No problem Quickshot.Quickshot wrote:LoneWolf, thanks for the clarifacation.
How were you supposed to know if they were taken from a treestand or not... A few people have received the same pictures in their emails and told that they were taken from a treestand. I myself also believed that they were at first.
None the less, they are truly awesome pictures!
maddog,
Here's the link that will tell you how the pictures were taken as well as the story behind them.
