Just down and left from what appears to be an eyeball looks alot like some kind of camo. I think it is a picture of you hiding in a bush. I am going to loose sleep over this thing until I know for sure. LOL

Post by: Tater 2 on January 04, 2010, 09:21:00 AM

Not sure where in Wyoming this was taken (or if it was Wyoming) but with snow on the ground and the fact you are Bear hunting (probably not too high in elevation) it might be a little early for Calf Elk.
     I see what appears to be the shape of a bird, I am going with Turkey.

Post by: razorback on January 04, 2010, 09:32:00 AM

Ok. Once I lightened it up I could see a big deer like eye just below that white twig but then below it towards the center of the pic, in that big black section, I see what looks like feathers. So I am going with Hippogrif.

Title: Re: not your normal bear hunting picture
Post by: FerretWYO on January 04, 2010, 09:54:00 AM

Now we know how these critters survive. This is a hen turkey stiting on her nest. There is all these threads about camoflage I think that she has it figured out. I took several pictures of this and took a look everyday as i waked by. This is a picture of the nest while she was off feeding one day.

Post by: Mudd on January 04, 2010, 10:04:00 AM

Your thread and picture took me back in time.

I remember back when I was playing cowboy at the Whitegrass ranch in Moose, Wyoming and I was riding along a trail near Elkhorn lake when I spotted a large group of elk bedded down by the waters edge so I got out my camera and took a boat load of pictures.
When I returned to college that fall I took that roll of film in to be processed. When I got the pictures back it took me "like-forever" to find any of those elk in my photos and I knew exactly where to look.
Good memories!!
Thanks!
God bless,Mudd

Post by: FerretWYO on January 04, 2010, 10:33:00 AM

I have so many pictures of deer and elk like that Mudd. It is crazy how they can vanish even in a picture. I just thought that this hen turkey was so amazing. I watched her walk in there and lay down looked down to get into my pack for the cammera and when I looked back up it was very hard to see her.

Hmmm, Bigfoot. Yup, I'm sure of it, Bigfoot.   :)

But serious, looks like a little fawn curled up looking at the camera to me.

Post by: BowHuntingFool on January 04, 2010, 11:29:00 AM

I would say a hen turkey sitting on a nest full of eggs!   :bigsmyl:

Title: Re: not your normal bear hunting picture
Post by: Corn Stalker on January 04, 2010, 12:50:00 PM

Cool picture. Now I have to go back and look again. My 9 year old walked right up this morning while I was looking at it and said. It's a turkey Dad, right there is it's eye and here's its body.

It still looked like a stick to me at that point LOL

Turkey?  I liked Ron W's guess ... that guy who jumped out of the plane years ago.  I think his name was D.B. Cooper or something.  Bailed out of a perfectly good 707 with a hundred grand!  He's probably still lurking around somewhere out ther in the great North West.

I'm glad you finally fessed-up the answer. I looked at that so long I was believing it to be a family of Wood Elves sitting down to dinner. Even looked like the meal was a big ol' roast chipmunk. Right there, plain as day! Course, the six-pack was almost gone before it all came together for me.
