I was thinking the same thing. Those voles are easier to see when they scurry in the daytime.

xoxoxoBruce 02-11-2016 10:24 AM

Likely they've observed food scurrying away from the fires into the unburned cover, so they're creating there own window of opportunity.

Warning to those of a nervous disposition:

Beware the snake. Obviously a windscreen viper.

EEK!!!

BigV 02-14-2016 12:49 PM

Ok, that's weird. snakes on a plane, sure, snakes on a SUV, just weird.

I also fine the camera shots a little weird. It appears they have ONE camera, with two lenses, one forward, one rearward. and it's a temporary installation, hence the cable draped over the dash. Why the two cameras? My first thought was that it was a prank. Still. **shivers**. Credit to the guy for stopping the car in a controlled fashion.

Two rangers release a large pissed off Cougar from a foot trap. Tense.

Good on them.

lumberjim 03-23-2016 01:06 AM

That would be freaking intense. You can tell that the Ranger that was directing had done this before, and that the other had not. Talk about on the job training... Imagine the new guy telling his lady about his day that night....

So, how was your day, honey?

Well, I grabbed the tiger by his toe.....

Utah wildlife conservation officer Mark Ekins was called to help release the cougar on December 17 and decided to film the encounter because of the animal's size. The footage, uploaded to YouTube just this month, shows Ekins slipping a catchpole over the cougar’s neck and then working with a trapper to release it. At one point, the cougar leaps as Ekins reaches for its paw, snapping a tree limb the men were using to control it. Ekins then calmly grabes the pole, which is only a few feet long, and calmly reins in the frantic cat. Ultimately, Ekins throws a blanket over the cougar and releases its paw, and after a moment, the animal sheds the blanket and runs away, shaken, surely, but with only a small cut on its paw.

It was purportedly all in a day's work for Ekins, who says that a healthy respect for the animal helps him stay safe when releasing large cougars. He told ksl.com, “I’m nervous and I’m extremely careful when doing it. …I’ve probably only done three in my career that were as big as the one you saw.” Typically, he said, large cougars can free themselves from traps, but occasionally officers are needed. Ekins said that tranquilizers are preferred to catchpoles in these situations, but the drugs aren’t always available in remote areas.

According to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources trapping guide, cougars must be released unharmed, and authorities are to be notified within 48 hours. Despite the restrictions on trapping cougars, it's legal to hunt them in certain parts of the state.

I just discovered the inept dude in the video is the trapper who accidently caught the cougar while legally trapping Bobcats in season.

This picture from Utah Game Wardens Magazine had no explanation but I'd guess it's cats taken illegally. :(

Since reindeer are an active transportation mode in the Arctic, and the nights can be very long, spray reflective material may prevent collisions which the reindeer always lose.

Loving the luminous antlers! I've always said the black unlit cows are the biggest road hazard after dark round here, and suggested we buy them all reflective "Sam Browne" belts:

Okay, since this wouldn't post for me in IotD, I'ma try it here.

...Aaaaaand now I see the problem...even scaled down to 800 x 600, it's too big. Any further reduction will lose ALL the detail...rats. I scaled this thing down to 400 x 300 and it's STILL over 300Kb. Never had this problem before, no idea what to do.

xoxoxoBruce 04-05-2016 10:00 AM

Snake, You have to lower the resolution, as well as the size.

Limey, OMG yes. Tell them to be wery wery careful, especially at night. Carry a strong torch and a shotgun, preferably a semi-auto, or they could be torn to shreds. Guard the livestock too, it isn't flying saucers beaming up cows and sheep, it's wererabbits dragging them down. Few people realize the bunnies can strangle you by latching their ears around your throat, or use the ears to hold you while gnawing your jugular.

I use Web Resizer by Minos Studio...It resizes the pic's dimensions as well as file size. It works really well, without losing detail, you can adjust the amount of file compression used. I'm not sure they're still around, though.

Hot damn, nice mess, but at least turkey for dinner. When I was a kid we had a Pheasant come through the picture window, early one Sunday morning. Sumbitch made it all the way(18') to the far wall and dropped dead onto the back of the couch.
