This is freaking scary. As you know I was alone when I downed this elk in ND. I was using my camera’s timer attached to my shooting stick to give me enough time to get into the picture. I knew there were a lot of cats in the area but had no idea they would come in this close to people. He had to be within 10 feet of me and I didn’t even know it. I about crapped my pants when I looked at the pictures the next morning and saw he was there.

ELK & Buddy

Oh man! I agree with Mack, the cat seems to be investigating more than anything.

Great photo!

When Harry Bennett worked for Henry Ford, he kept all sorts of large cats in his office at the old administration building. (figured I'd toss that in there while on the subject of big cats)

Camera flash might have scared it off?

Heck I woulda cut off a chunk of the hindquarters and left it for her/him.

I do that with my kills. Had a bobcat come up on me while collecting my kills dove hunting on my ranch. Poor kitty was kinda shocked when he saw me but kept distance, I threw a couple birds to it. It was cold and he/she looked kinda hungry :-)

Amazing! The cougar looks like he's thinking "do you have any idea what I could do to you right now?"

The cougar might be thinking, Man, anyone who can drop an elk like that is no one to mess with. I'm leaving him alone.

Okay,

Now that we know the photo probably isn't John's, can we get back on track?

In need to know what kind of sealer I should use on my original woven hemp methanol tank on my Doctor's Coupe if I am going to convert over to kerosene.

My first question would be: Where are there Elk in North Dakota?????? Elk???? Really???? You're not kidding???? ELK???? In North Dakota?????


Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By Stan Howe Helena, Montana USA on Thursday, October 14, 2010 - 10:55 am:

My second question would be: Where are the Mountain Lions in North Dakota???? In the Badlands south of Williston and west of Medora along the Little Missouri River. Never heard of any Elk there tho. I have a ranch at Ismay, Montana and another at Cartright, North Dakota and have never heard of any native Elk in either one of those areas. Not that I know every Elk or Cougar in the country, but.....................

Obviously, Stan, you haven't been to the Bismarck Zoo...

Good one, Tom. Your T must be made to get 50mpg on E85 and the entire body made of hemp to be legit, however.

Tom,

I can't believe you asked that question. Everyone knows you should use modified bitumen roofing tar.

I just had to.....

Dang it. I've been looking for a photo of Basket Case, a wicker bodied circa 1923 Model T Roadster that was originally manufactured by a baby carriage company and I can't find it. The owner used to be a regular at Greenfield Village. Had I found it, I could have convinced everyone it was an experimental hemp body painted green for ecology's sake. And of course the green color also repelled cougars.

The mountain lion chased the elk all the way from Montana to N.D. If that darn hunter hadn't interfered he would had had him by the time they got to Ohio.

Tom first you must install a water pump. And by the way what kind of oil do you use? Watch out for the dope dogs.

Tim

Tom,I think Dan T has a picture of it and there are elk in Mi so why not in ND? Bud.

Hey Uncle Stan.....I.Y.H.O. are there even any trees in ND........??? Carl

Bud,

Elk in Michigan????

Next you're going to tell me that Georgia has a town named Atlanta too?

Tim,
I can't install a water pump. Between my alternator, AC compressor, and distributor, there's no more mounting room on the engine.

I also have a wolf whistle to repell Bobcats so the intake side space is used up too.

I get my organically blended engine oil from behind McDonalds. The barrels all say Wayne Soap Company on them.

Tom

Here is the hemp-based Model T body, ole Basket Case....proof that Henry used a heap of hemp :-)

That's the One! Thanks Dan.

His trailer is a work of art. There is an air brushed portrait of the car along with references to a WWII prison camp. I was always happy to see this car and the owner. I hope the family is still enjoying the car even if they're not at the Old Car Festival.

We have (or had) big cats right here in Lytle (well, about 3 1/2 miles outside). I don't even go out to the back property after dark. To many things out there that will eat you if given the chance. I even cary a "piece" during the day when on the tractor out there.

Carl, I have heard that the State Tree in North Dakota is the telephone pole... :-)

Micheal,

I was thinking the same thing... haha.

Considering it was 'legal' back then, I'm sure this happened quite often.

Some of us must be old to rember Telephone Pole's!!!!! Bud.
