During his daily routine the rancher captured this series of photo proving you don’t want to be caught in a dark alley with a gang of angus.

This is Beach Billy “back in the day”. This was just moments after we pulled in the Lodge at Magnolia. I shot the rabbit from the moving school bus (scout) with my Dad’s 357 and the rabbit was on the Run! The Greatest shot in the world!

This blog is no fan of coyotes but this email is worthy because of the Doubletough coyote at the center of the story. When a brother and sister struck a coyote at 75mph they assumed they had killed the animal and drove on. They didn’t realize this was the toughest creature ever to survive a [...]

These undated series of photos show just how wrong things can go in the wilderness. According to the email, a party of fishermen and chartered pilot left bait and a cooler inside and it wasn’t to long before “locals” picked up the scent.
