On one of our Colorado elk hunting trips we found a dog just setting next to the trail up the mountain.
We were the only ones hunting this area so how he wandered that far into the wilderness I have no idea.
My uncle snatched her up, she went home with him and "Cloey" is still the family dog to this day.

I once came across a headless mannikin with a makeshift javalin through the chest. On another trip I found a set of clothes complete with boots quite a pace off trail. They were clean and worn, but cold which makes no sense considering it was the middle of summer. Lastly I saw an albino deer standing by stream running red. I was going to shoot it, but I figured I read the results of such an action in a Stephen King book once.

The strangest thing I've even seen was a parrot resting on top of a bear! I still wonder to this day what on earth the parrot was doing there. The bear seemed totally oblivious to the parrot on his head, a very surreal sight.

Maybe the bear was being a pirate that day, did he have a patch on one eye?

Wrecked cars at the base of cliffs, wrecked airplanes, stealth bombers, Northern Lights, a still, everything at the Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock Desert.

It is always exciting to see things that look like UFOs out around Area 51. I will never get used to low flying jets that come from behind. The plane gets there before the sonic boom. Yikes. Or jets dropping live ordinance. The "Top Gun" Navy Jet Fighter School is now in Fallon, NV and flies all over the state. I was fishing last fall in the Sierras in my boat when 2 Navy jets flew over the water upside down and what seemed like 200 feet off the water. They made 2 more passes even lower right side up.

In the true spirit of the internet - Pics or it didn't happen. Seriously. No pictures mean you totally didn't see this.

esperahol,
In the spirit of real life- I am not going to share my personal life with the world even if I have pictures, and usually I don't. When something really exciting happens I am not reaching for a camera.

Quick...photo shop a parrot on a bears head, that should do it!

Oh I know that, but it had to be said and I was willing to say it. Now just imagine someone who looks really impressive looking off to the right in front of something inspiring or patriotic... Yes, yes I am a good person.
