Since milkweed was so common in my childhood, I assumed it was everywhere. But I haven't seen any in years. Maybe it doesn't grow this far south.

My childhood as well. I think milkweed was almost eradicated and the monarchs almost went with it. Surprisingly, the Game Commission here sprayed herbicide on a nearby food plot and drilled milkweed and clover in its place for the last couple years. I've been leaving the patches of milkweed that spread on to my place and we're seeing an increase in monarch numbers.

I hope it crawls over a mile of that rusty barbed wire...

It is capable of moving it's skin away from the points.

Looking at the photo and how nonchalant that snake is, I figured something like that. Snakes! Worse than bears!!

Gravdigr · 09-04-2017, 12:14 PM

Fuk snek.

Flying Meeses... well one flying moose anyway...

Gravdigr · 09-09-2017, 03:06 PM

Moose? That ain't a moose.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-09-2017, 11:02 PM

Tiz so a moose.

Griff · 09-10-2017, 08:25 AM

I wouldn't pick that out of a moose lineup.

It's young or early in the antler season, but the shoulder hump is a give away.
Might be a European Elk though.

No.

Gravdigr · 09-10-2017, 04:09 PM

Not. A. Moose.

What are it?

Gravdigr · 09-10-2017, 04:26 PM

The car and the surroundings don't look especially Murkin.

If it were America, I'd guess a smaller elk species, Tule, maybe. Otherwise it looks like the stags of Scotland and/or New Zealand.

Whatever it is, it doesn't jump like Evel Knievel, nor do they fly.
