I call those little guys "Trail Chickens!" Sorry to say, they're slow movers, and over the years I've sent a few of our feathered friends to the coop up in the sky.

yaaa...slow movers !!! few close calls in the last 2 weeks...hard to see them sometimes while riding ....one flew for about 60' just next

to my right shoulder and a few crossed right in front of my nose...close enough to feel air displacement !!! i crushed a few while grooming ..

they hide under the snow and i can t see them...just can see the feather after they re kaputtt !!!

Great"! Are you hunting this year?

no moose hunting for me since the late 90' s !!!

still go to moose hunting ...but only as a '' tourist '' or to help friends ...but since 5-6 years im losing interest !!!last year and this year ,

i spent only 3 days during hunt....no more clear cuts...trees are too tall and not much patience to look only at the road !!!

my friends are '' office workers '' so ,during weekend ...from may to sept ,they don t have much interest to get dirty to prepare their hunt

they don t have much skills with chainsaws !! hahhahhaa

hi vt blu !!!

new bridge is about 7-8 miles from my camp !!! small one....they are going to build another one ( bigger ) about 10-12 miles from there...they already started to demolish !!

back in the old days.....both bridges were used for the faribault trail ...98-99 i think !!!

we used that bridge at the gathering to go to my camp back in 2012 !!!
