Tony. I lived in Questa for about a year, plenty of Elk and I caught trout, mostly in the mountains and some in the Rio Grande. I didn't see a whole lot of small game, I spent my time looking for obsidian arrow heads, and hunting reptiles.
Send me a PM when you do. My fishing buddy was just giving crap this morning about neglecting him since I got this bird. My fly rod is dusty.Quote:

Tower Rock Island, on the Mississippi River. I'm on top of a cliff (foothill, rather) at a look-out point. I love this area. 16 miles from my house.
Thanks for the info. Last time I was there we camped out by Red River and fished, but due to time and wife who would not hike, I did not get out to do any real looking around. Looking at google, I see some very interesting areas to herp around there by the river. I have not done any real herping in the last 5 or so years. I miss it.
Is that a Lewis and Clark site? It is a special feeling you get when you are at a spot of such history.Quote:

My friends tiercel anatum/tundrius on a different hen gadwall. This bird is 8 years old and deadly, he smacked this one and it tumbled through the air and righted itself only to be caught in a tail chase a 1/4 mile out.

What is the flying wt. of your Rt?
Hi Paul, that tundra/anatum tiercel looks like it is standing on a drake gad. Beautiful photo. Gadwalls are made for tiercels.
Is that a tiercel that Bruce made?

I have seen a bazillion RT pics and a bazillion RT alive in the field. They never get old or boring. A RT is just plain old good looking. Always will be. Nice pics.

This was Thursday of last week. This jack was at full speed by the time I took this picture. It suddenly put on the brakes skidding to a full stop with the HH going right over its head. Then the jack did a 180 turn and out ran the HH. Great jack chase.
