Yikes! (Robot voice): You have exposed my ruse. I am an AI bot purposed to entertain hunters to distract them from the fact globalists are taking over the world. Do not adjust your horizontal. Do not adjust your vertical. Look into my pen while I flash a light to wipe your memory.

People shouldn’t trespass if signs are posted. A number of them do anyway. Pretty sure piñóns are in Utah, dunno about Idaho. They’re definitely in Colorado. They don’t seem to grow above 7200 ft altitude.

Yeah the pinion tree sap makes a mess. I don’t wear long sleeve shirts or good hats when working with piñon firewood or collecting nuts. I’d rather scrub my arms and hands (and scalp) raw then ruin even my work shirts. I will wear an old ratty work coat if cold, it’s already messed up.

Oh! I’ve never considered the bears! We’ve got bears here and now that I think about it the sight of me crawling around on all fours pawing the ground for nuts might appear pretty appetizing to a bear … kinda like a feral pig but with more fat.

The piñon trees form green “pine cones” the first year, which then mature and dry out opening the cone's petals gradually to drop the nuts in the second year. Yeah people go crazy when the nuts are dropping. No Trespassing signs are ignored and in our neighborhood we’ve had multiple...

We had heavy wet winter snows this year and now the pinion trees are bursting with male/female buds and we get covered in yellow pollen when disturbing branches. My past experience has led me to expect a good pinion nut harvest in fall of 2025 (not 2024). The last time we got a big harvest was...

As a boy I liked "With The Indians In The Rockies" by James Willard Schultz (published 1912). He wrote a number of other books like this. From Amazon: "Thomas and his friend Pitamakan, a Blackfoot boy, live at Fort Benton on the western frontier One day, having ventured into the mountains...

Blue hair, thank you for the photo! That elk calf does look like what I saw! They were somewhat larger, but didn’t have that darker neck fur, or the white fur on the butt and belly, which is what has confused me. Hopefully I’ll get some pics on the game cam. We’re starting to hear elk...

Thanks! Now I really don’t know what I think I saw. I’ve set up a game cam.

I’m gonna live up to my dum dum name and ask a dumb question: What do 6 month old elk look like? I took my dog on normal morning walk on the driveway. On the way back looked back and saw three “Cervidae” crossing the driveway about 300 feet behind us. All three were sleek light golden...

During summer at evening we turn on 3 box fans at open windows to cool the house, then shut the windows in the morning. To this day my wife wants to keep one fan going during the day to keep cooling the house. Tried many times to explain that the air from that fan only feels cooler because of...

I’m sorry for your losses and those suffered by others. Looking at the current calf canyon fire activity at: https://www.fireweatheravalanche.org/fire/?ll=35.60371874069731,-98.08593750000001&z=4 I think they are making really great progress at containment!

" YA EVER WONDER WHAT LIES A BOTTOM OF A LAKE/RESERVOIR??? " When I was a kid growing up in Colorado, one of my uncles owned an ice cream parlor on the main street of the town Dillion up in the mountains (Summit County I think). When we visited he let us go behind the counter and make our...
