Deer hunting on two different occasions and these guys showed up.

Another time I was turkey hunting and thought I would get some quick photos and got photo "bombed" instead.

Mule deer hunting in the middle of a very large ranch in far West Texas and this guy showed up. Don't know how he got there, where he came from, where he was going or what happened to him after I saw him for two days.

Not the greatest pic, but it captures the sense of place. Was out with my chainsaw on a brisk winter day cuttin up a fallen oak tree. I turn around & the herd is just hanging out watching me. Stuck around for an hour or so. There's a few bulls back there somewhere

I don't think this lawn needs much mowing with this herd around...

Just got back from the coast. I found these Tule elk out on Tomales Point. The fog was blowing around the whole time I was there. The bulls were hard horned and the rut appeared to be on.

Those are amazing. Hopefully won't end up poached at some point.

A group of us go to an outfitter in the Texas panhandle and there are a few exotic ranches near some of his leases. He has said there are times that those animals will escape and he has seen them on his feeder cameras. Last year he told us there had been some Aoudad ( I think, but it was an exotic) that escaped a ranch due to a fire damaging fence lines in the year or so prior, and if we saw one we could shoot it. We didn't see any...

This reminds me of the infamous Wild West Camel story. In the 1800s US Army thought camels would make good pack animals for the South West so they shipped a bunch in from the Middle East. They ended up causing problems so a lot were auctioned off and many escaped. Supposedly they trampled crops and generally terrorized the Southwest for a number of years.

Whatever Happened to the Wild Camels of the American West?

Initially seen as the Army's answer to how to settle the frontier, the camels eventually became a literal beast of burden, with no home on the range
