Your Picture of the day.

Griz?

Hind paw top photo?

 

Don't know, possible. Probably a large black though. I noticed my 100 yard target and was knocked over, I had just stood it up the previous morning. And my extension ladder was knocked over from behind the sauna. And one on my two 22 LR targets and the bow target were also moved.

 

Dude! If the bears are working on they're weapons skills, it could get pretty hairy around there!

 

Luckily that is my Mossberg 930 and not the bears.

 

A good fishing day!

 

A pretty young lady, indeed! You have every right to be proud!

 

Sunset on a red rock formation. Arches National Park, out side of Moab UT.
One of the most beautiful places I've ever been!

 

Me 50 years ago.
During old miners days in Big Bear Lake California
the guns are a .36 cal. sheriffs pistol found in the desert fully loaded and a Mod 1894 Winchester 30/30.

 

Image of my ZOMBIE PEN-ETRATER. From a discussion on another site about whether you can board a plane with one. Some have, but the legality is still in question!

 

Went to Costco. I didn't see ammo cans as some Monkeys have reported but I did find a book display..... are they trying to tell us something?

 

I do it almost ever week. I have the Benchmade and the Uzi pen. I also carry a Surefire E2D Defender on every flight. I carry them with other pens and flashlights. I have never had a problem since doing this in the last 8 years.

EDIT: this is a photo taken on a flight to SeaTac. Notice the knife they give you in FC.

 

I will add that the pens and light are always in a pocket on my Rush 72 pack with other pens and lights.

Once I get through security, the E2D and the Uzi/benchmade pen go into my pocket and are accessable when I am on the plane.

If something happens, I will wait the 5-15 seconds the head of the Air Marshal training told me to hold off before jumping into action.

I probably carry 6 pens that have metal cases but not defensive like the Uzi or BM. That way on xray they see a jumble of pens.

I carry at least 3 flashlights the Surefire E2D, Surefire Viper, and a Gerber that has white, red, IR and a semi green light as not to ruin night vision of the eye.

The IR version is used with my NVS-14 that always goes with me as long as I am CONUS

 

Elephant Hawk Moth
Found this wee guy while we were on holiday on the west coast (Scotland obviously )

 

Gorgeous ! thank you for sharing those pics!

 

This cactus image is a ways from perfect. It was on a desert out cropping, I could only approach at a single point, high wind, on my tiptoes, camera in my finger tips, stretched as far as possible with my wife backed up to mine for a brace! Given all that, I'm pretty happy with it!

 

The wife's "J" frame. A really accurate little Smith. .38spl +P rated.
And, yes, I see the rusted grip screw! I'm a bad boy! Stainless screw, incoming!

 

The closest neighbor I can see:
(With a spotting scope at 60x, my guess is about 30 miles)



Over that way:

 

Spying on your neighbor? You perve!
