i have come upon cattle drives a few times..
thery used to use the local paved road to
transport cattle to the high meadows and
back each memorial (May) and labor day (Sep)

also have stopped for snakes stretched out
across the road. also geese . i once stopped
and scooped up a small owl that was sitting on
the striped line in the middle of the road. I
presume he was hit by a car and was dazed for
a while. it later recovered and flew away.

on christmas i came across a road killed pheasnat
and stopped to pluck a few feathers. i also
have picked up foxes, ring tailed cats and other
unfortunate critters who lost their lives on roads.

i skinned the fox, kept the tail of the ring-tail
and have owl and hawk wings. i never kept a striped
kitty (skunk)

i have pulled several deer out of the road way
after they died in a spot where they blocked traffic.

life is rough out there for varmints@!
