re: Photography cameras

Lot of good advice in this thread. Especially about buying used equipment to get more camera for less money. You definitely need to have good glass so you don’t miss shots like this when they present themselves.

Have not seen any little ones yet out my way.




Under the Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Clause 2) of the U.S. Constitution, federal law is the supreme law of the land, and any state law that conflicts with it is generally invalid, a concept known as preemption. States cannot nullify federal law, nor can they compel individuals to violate it.

Said all the locals laughed and said “ any hunter can kill a moose but a good hunter kills them where a truck/atv/boat can get to”


My buddy was on his first moose hunt in Alaska and came up on this moose standing in a lake. Was so excited that he immediately pulled his gun up and shot it. It dropped in its tracks. He found out very quickly that cutting a moose up in knee deep water is not a fun experience.

On a side note this hunt was a fly in hunt and the pilot came back in a few days later to check on them and ask if they had done any good. My buddy said yea I actually shot a moose the first day you dropped us off. The pilot looked at him dead pan and said no you didn’t. Buddy says yea I really did I was very lucky. Guide says you did not shoot it the day I dropped you off because that would be illegal. You must be misremembering.

Great photos!

Was driving down the road awhile back and a barred owl flew up from the ditch and landed in a tree by the road. Turned around and drove back by and got a quick picture with my cell phone.

Always makes me nervous the times I’ve used gasoline in my Coleman lanterns. I know they are made for it but still don’t seem right.
Madison County Alabama has been using satellite images for years to do property tax appraisals. They look for new structures like swimming pools or additions so they can raise your taxes.

Don’t know if your story is right or not but many US owned ships are foreign flagged to take advantage of different rules and tax laws. All countries do this.

vince Vaughn is good to. I would read his books every time one came out. Looked on the author page when I finished, and he had just died of cancer. Great author dead way before his time


I think you mean Vince Flynn who wrote the Mitch Rapp series. Dude was a very good writer. Kyle Mills took over the series for awhile. Not sure who does it now. Kyle Mills is also a very good author.
My son was an AGR at Auburn University and around 2018 he said that Ella Langley would come by the fraternity house and pick on the guitar and drink some cold beers with them. I think she may have been in the school of forestry. He said he had kind of forgotten about it until she all of sudden got really popular.

Saw one at my farm last summer. 1st one I'd seen in a long time.



Same here last one I saw was at our farm back in August. We have an overhang on our shop with two highbay lights we leave on at night and it attracts a lot of moths.

quote:

That green caterpillar turns into a Regal moth that’s orange and yellow. It’s a silk moth too that won’t live but a week like the Cecropia.


Think I saw one of those our farm awhile back.

Should be permanent. Why should they get special treatment in the first place?

Shut the motor down to watch and sure enough it swooped down and caught a fish and flew off with it.


I was flying my drone pretty low over a lake looking at a big group of ducks and Bald Eagle flew under the drone grabbed a duck right in front of the drone and flew off. Drone was set on photo not video and I didn’t get shite. Would have been an incredible video.

Another shot of one of the Ospreys.

watched a few take fish and the others would trail and try to steal the spoils.


That’s what I was wanting to get some pictures of the bald eagles stealing fish from Osprey. I have seen them take rabbits from red tailed hawks several times when we are cutting beans.

Watching the ospreys do a little fishing today and this one had about all he could handle. He really struggled getting it out of the water.
