I took a drive to meet with a friend and to get out of the house, as I have been cooped up post back surgery. I took the daughters car as it gets much better gas mileage than my land cruiser and there is very little snow currently.
I had meant to take the camera along and snap some pics as it is usually a good time of year for wildlife and this was no exception. I had plugged it in to charge the battery and left it, in my haste to get an early start, which was a real bummer, since there were no shortage of great shots, as it ended up. Really bummed about that.
Being only a few weeks out of surgery I promised I would not be wrestling elk hind quarters, even though the hunt is still on for me, I have a cow tag and I would be driving right through the unit I hunt. My luck being what it is, the damned things would tempt me like a fat kid an cake..
More on that in a minute.
I was making good time, so as I got near my cabin I took a side road, and ran into a herd of wild horses. The only thing I had to take pics was my crappy cell phone and the lighting was poor to say the least.
I will apologize now. None of these pics are worth a crap. All I had was my old iPhone, and it does not take good pics, so it is what it is...
These guys blend in amazing well sometimes and I actually was almost on top of them before I even saw them.
Normally you cannot get even close, but this one was fairly old, was not moving too quick, and did not seem to care. I talked to her as I walked slowly at an angle in her direction until I got as close as I dared for a pic. They burn a lot of calories this time of year, so this was close enough.
Long road to nowhere.
