thefisherking Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Awesome pictures, I really like the shots with the frost. Whats the story behind the red rocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jksnijders Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Nice pics. Those red rocks are concretions. Sediment in the bottom of a river way back when collected around something, possibly organic. Kind of like a pearl, they grow bigger over time as sediment builds up around it. Usually there might be a fossil inside, I've picked up a few ammonites that way. I've had people tell me they're glacial, but it's pretty doubtful anything made of sandstone would last long under a glacier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesG Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Is there a cross by that rock right above the fence post in the first pic on your second post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Nice pics Beedhead. Was out in that area the last couple days for work and the fresh snow sure adds a nice touch. Enjoyed and thanks for posting. I'll see if any of mine turned out, but I doubt they will compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience, its who's behind the camera, not the engine under the hood. Enjoyed the pics and look forward to more of your photos.

monger Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks for the pics Jeff. Did you happen to see if any pheasants made it through the winter on your travels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks for the pics Jeff. Did you happen to see if any pheasants made it through the winter on your travels? Although its not the Jeff in question Monger I did see some tracks, but I also did see some winterkilled ones. Overall I think the next season may be a bit slower than the last few years, but there are still some that will make it through. They seem to be fairing well around farm yards and heavy cover so far but thats about it. On the up side Sharpies seem to be doing really well though they are built for this weather.

monger Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thanks for the report guys. My 4 legged partner was wondering if she'd have anything to chase next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beedhead Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 In the Past years I have seen Hoards of Pheasants just south of the Hat, say 5-10km (if ya want to come this far)....And have seen Many around Cavin Lake just a little bit west of the #41 South....
