Critters at Casa de Mick…… - 11/18/20 11:32 AM

We live in the mountains of southern New Mexico at around 7,000 feet. Occasionally we get some critters wandering through the yard……











This guy actually came to the front door!

Thanks

That is awesome, good thing he didn't want to spar with the good looking guy in the reflection.

These are some great shots. That looks like a pretty nice elk and the bear on trail cam is good size also the Mule deer buck looks really nice.

Tom,
Judging by the broke-up starboard side of that bull's horns, he had "already" been sparrin'...Too cool.

I saw him Sidney. He just didn't "fit in". I deleted my earlier post as this big boy in the window does, indeed, look like a bull elk..."BUT" (Been a while)...his running horns, at least in the photo, look like "forks", typical of Mulies.
Take a look at my 5x5 photo in this forums banner and you'll see what I mean. I spoke to Mick and where he is located is really close to where I shot that Mule deer...small world.
Best, Capt. Chris
