Thirsty Coyote

Not exactly muzzleloading related, but thought I would share this one:

cheeky!!

now, how do you think it found the water? being pokey and havin a look at whats up there. or, can it smell it - can water be smelt by animals? have i been living in the city too long?

 

[AZ-Robert]

Yes, they can smell it, and you can too - especially out here where it stays dry most of the time.

Actually, what we smell is whatever it is the water is making damp, but the nose knows the dampness aspect of it somehow.

Desert animals can smell water from a long way off. I've got a friend who fenced in his pool to keep the critters from drinking out of it. Not that he begrudges them the water but some have fallen in and drowned.

Robert I seen a coat over here in the Smokies made with coyote, white tail and fox. The main body of the coat was deer with a strip of coyote down the center of the back, and the sleeves were half deer half coyote, and the cuffs,coller and hem were trimed with fox.

That thing made my mouth water!!!!

Dang, it's doing it again just thinking about it
It fit me perfict. Im 6'2" and it struck me about the knees and if I'd had $3,350 on me it would be hanging in my closet today.

But a poor man has poor ways, so I just drooled all over it........ and hung it back on the hanger with a teer in my eye just like the one I have now :cry: Ronnie...

My neighbor found a drowned roadrunner in his horse trough - hard to figure how that happened, but that kind of thing happens often enough. Out of a mix of kindness and practicality, I keep a washtub filled with water near the well house. It offers critters something to drink while keeping them from tearing apart my plumbing to get to it. I keep a couple of 2x4 chips floating in it to help the little ones get out when they fall in.
