Wildlife is so much easier to shoot when it isn't moving or trying to bite you.
Came across this today out in the pickers...

That's a snapping turtle. I wonder how it died. Maybe got clipped on a nearby road?

I don't think so. You can usually tell if they've been hit, some sign of abrasion (underneath) or tread pattern, cracking, etc. Although it was near a dirt road, about 100 feet off the two track.
I've removed my share of them off the roads though, nasty bastards even when you're trying to help them!! :elkgrin:

And another, at a creek crossing. This turtle was impossible.....I just stayed next to it so it wouldn't get hit (thankfully we don't have much traffic up here )

I am glad to hear you do that! A lot of people intentionally hit them.

Snappers are my all time favorite reptile. They are like little tanks!!

If I saw that dead one, I'd mark the area and go back in a few months and get the skeleton.

I have a pretty big bone collection from animals we've came across in our travels, to have a full shell and a full skull, top and bottom would be pretty cool

Like this? :elkgrin:

This was a Javalina that I buried and went back a year later and dug up. Cleaned it up and varnished it and my kids took it to school for show an tell years ago. Now it's just a prop.

Here are some Yellowstone shots from this weekend:

I got to play around with my friends 400mm f2.8 lens!

More pictures from my trip can be seen here.

1st 3 shots are outstanding Beau!!

Isnt that a sweet lens. I got to play with one once and it was a bad thing. It only took a few months of saving and selling off everything I could think of before I had one in the camera case.

Best Lens Canon Makes that I own, till I can save up for that 800mm

 

[TJDIV]

You're right, Pat.. that is a nice lens I'd have to sell a snowmobile though...
