Juvenile wood stock that showed up in SE Ohio in August 2021.




Guy stayed in that spot for three days. He slowly moved off over the next week before disappearing .

Mark K, going out west on a hunt several years ago we saw an armadillo on I-80 too. Doing 70ish there was no way to take a photo and no one believed us.....jk

We had a mountain lion near a small public cemetery a few years back caught on camera.

ever heard of brakes? :P

Had a pair of Allen hummingbirds show up at the feeder on fall in NW Oklahoma.

There was a Tarpon caught this year in Boston

Neighbor caught a spike elk on his game camera a few years ago. Either escaped from a high fence or from SW Oklahoma where we have them. I know the feeder location and he's too old to photoshop.

I will eventually catch a mountain lion. They are sporadically seen (actually seen) but are making into OK. I have a mile of river so I am in a travel corridor. Assuming my MB550s will hold it.

Hunted central MO many years ago armadillos were unheard of then but now they are common south of I-70. I’m finding their holes often now when hunting.

Neighbors dog came home all stabbed up by a porcupine.
Twice last year and once again this year.
Eastern West Virginia.
Never seen one here before.
Someone said they were "planted" here by the gov. some years back.

Canada geese in the us.

jk I know they are not only in canada

porkies have been moving south and west. weve had a few show up in NE ohio along with their enemy, fishers.

When I was in high school, I was bow hunting for deer in Camp Ripley, MN. We were tracking a deer one of my partners had hit. We saw a cougar running across an open field about 100 yards away. We were told at that time by the MN DNR we were mistaken, there are no cougars in MN. I think they have changed their thinking since then as there have been many sightings in recent years.

I've asked locals around where I live if there's wolves here. I get interesting stories. Fish and game claims there's no wolves in Nevada. That is pure malarkey. If they're in cedarville, nv is only 5 miles away. If there's moose here, there's surely wolves.
My first winter hunting Nevada I came across massive dog tracks in areas there is no possible way it was somebody's dog. The tracks were almost as big as my palm. Not a coyote and not a Labrador. Only leaves one other option.
Fishermen have been targeting dorado off northern California and southern Oregon. My brother in law caught a sailfish off the north jetty of Humboldt Bay. That is unbelievable, but this guy is not a fibber. He has pictures to prove it

Pretty sure I saw Savell north of the Mason Dixie line once….

We have Elk in Dewey county near Camargo on the South Canadian complete with a season. A roaming Elk is not that unusual, I've heard there are some in Cheyenne valley northwest of
Fairview also Mule deer there.

Was traveling a gravel road bout 6/8 years ago in the spring near Detroit Lakes Mn.
Seen 2 birds in the ditch.
Backed up and took a pic.
Have always been a bird nerd but had no idea what they were.
Took some goggeling but they were 100% Glossy Ibis.
At the time, I think the farthest north they had ever been seen was central Iowa?

I had no idea about Dewey County. Appreciate the info. That's where it probably came from.

In 2000 , I managed to call in two lions while calling cats/coyotes on Black Kettle. Pretty cool experience.

That is cool. I have a lion tag and would really like to put an effort into tagging one this winter. Not an easy task without hounds. I ran into a fresh den last fall while pheasant hunting. I knew it was around from fresh tracks on the ditch I pushed first for ducks, but still, being in brush above your hip and walking right into a den that looks like kids made a fort out of the brush made me back up a ways and gave me swivel head. I kept pushing the brush, just in a different direction.
I've been wondering how well calling would work.

Since I was mostly concentrated on cats, I spent more time on stand than I would for coyotes . From what I've read , same holds true for lions. Long sits , continuous calling .
