What’s the coolest thing you found in the back country

[Hunt eat repeat]

Ran across a tornado track high up in the Crazy Mountains in MT. Took me a while to figure out what I was looking at- 25-30' wide swath where every tree was completely uprooted, broken and thrown in every direction. Couldn't figure out what kind of machine could do that, or why. Then it hit me (never seen a tornado or been in areas that have them). Went across the heavily treed hillside as far as I could see in both directions. Amazing amount of force to do that much damage. I'll try and find a pic or two and post them.

I guess I only took a short video and I can't post a vid here so here's a pic from the video.

I was in a micro burst in the crazies about 7 years ago. It was unbelievable. Trees you couldn’t wrap your arms around snapped off half way up. Dozens and dozens of them.

Been with buddies who’ve found arrowheads likely dating back over 1000 years.

Sounds like something my wife would do when I come home drunk.

Well, you just ruined it for all the Bigfoot believers.

Found an OLD 280 Ross casing one time in Chicken, AK. Can’t find my picture…

That’s pretty awesome. My uncle ran an excavator digging pipeline ditch for years. He said several times out in eastern WY and western NE he dug into a herd of buffalo skeletons. He even had an intact skull from some kind of ice age bison he dug up, had horns 3 1/2’ wide.
We have a creek we walk after big rains and find buffalo skulls, they’re mostly the ones that were bigger than the current species but not the huge ice age ones. Always a thrill to find an intact one peeking out of the cutbank.

My friend would find mammoth ivory and bones on cut banks out fishing, you’ll see an oil slick on the sand when it’s been eroded away to the mammoth, then start digging.
