Blazin Wildfire (12/2007-1/2015)</div>

“You realize you have a world class dog there, don’t you?”<br />
<br />
I think that was one of the first things I ever mentioned to Judi Boulton, after I had seen a video of her black dog blasting around the 685 yard course at the track in Phoenix.<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br /><br />Every now and then, you see a greyhound in motion, who has an uncommon way of covering ground, that is so fluent and sublime, you immediately understand you have just witnessed something very special.<br /><br />Blazin Wildfire was just such a special greyhound. A black son of the super-sprinter Dragon Fire---himself a son of the legendary and incomparable Australian, Brett Lee---out of the staying bitch, Tin Nee Ann, by the indomitable Dominator. He was bred and painstakingly raised by Judi, to be exactly who he appeared to be on the racetrack--a laser-quick, fearless, gut-wrenchingly game, tenacious, comet-swift, take-no-prisoners competitor.<br /><br />It’s always hard to bestow superlatives upon an individual, in a sport where there is a near century of historic and legendary performers to draw upon, and I never placed a hand on Blazin Wildfire, whose career was a little bit star-crossed, anyway. But giving it the eyeball test, I can say for certain, I never saw any greyhound who had any more of every desirable characteristic you could ask for in one. And that’s saying a mouthful.<br /><br />This morning, Judi found Blazin Wildfire in a field on their property, where he lived in his youth and again now, in retirement--in his eternal vigilance for game to chase. He had passed away, inexplicably, without a mark on him.<br /><br />Sometimes, we receive blessings we never expected, and sometimes, just as unexpectedly, they are taken away from us. And who can say why?<br /><br />I know that Judi, in spite of the loss of her great greyhound, realizes that some people can spend a lifetime in greyhound racing, working their fingers to nubs and their feet to stumps, and never have a dog like Blazin Wildfire. She was gifted with him in her very first litter as a breeder of greyhounds.<br /><br />In a sport where there are always far more heartbreaks than there are glorious moments of triumph. I will never forget some of hers, which she was gracious enough to share with any of us who wanted to come along for the ride. To see her big, black, whirlwind of a greyhound, scorch the sand, never failing to leave every beat of his huge, boundless heart, right there on the golden rail, every time he ran.<br /><br />Rest in peace, “Tater”.</span></div>

They also made all their instruments by hand. They played for my 55th Birthday on the sand beach of the Lugenda River in front of our dinning room. Derek arranged the surprise and "A Good Time Was Had By All". The band rode into camp on a trailer pulled by a tractor. Not only did the band come but they brought about 10 male dancers that danced to the rhythm of the music much like some of the old R and B groups of the 60s.<br />
It was very cool and I'd like to thank the whole staff of the Luwire Safaris, Derek and Paula for a most memorial Birthday. Wired for sound came and recorded them later that year and they have put out a cd you can order on ITunes.<br />

Well, a few weeks ago I finished up the eight month sculpture project I had been on. It had basically put me in a fog that I needed to clear up. I will post pics as soon as it is dedicated, it was a municipal project so were keeping it a bit under raps till unveiled publicly. You can go to "audwinpierremcgee"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on Facebook and see a few pics of progress. As I was saying I needed to get out of that fog so what better than to get the old WILLYS I had traded for into the shop and start whacking away. So here are a few pics of the before and underway. Cutting down and stretching, adding a little flat bed for dog boxes, swapping in a V6 Dauntless, later model 4spd and transfer case, later model front axle with disc brakes and power steering and a few other options I have dreamed up.</div>

So, I just wanted to let anyone interested know that as you can see the blogging has been suffering and will continue to be slow if not completely void for a few more months. Hopefully by the end of July I will be caught up and can again begin to add content that I am satisfied with. Until then I hope every like minded free thinker that reads "Sons of Savages" has a good go at life this summer. Be safe, trust in the only "God" out there for everything and "Defend the Republic" at all costs.<br />
And.<br />
Keep your dogs fed, love on the kids more than usual, and never sweat the small stuff.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span class="bodyLocation" style="font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">BOSTON, GA. — </span>National Champion (2008) and prominent sire Whippoorwill Wild Agin died recently due to the infirmities of advancing age. Wild Agin was bred by Dr. Jack Huffman at Whippoorwill Farm in Michigan City, Miss., where the son of Whippoorwill Wild Jack ex Whippoorwill Girl was born and raised and trained by Larry Huffman for owners Dr. Jack Huffman and Dr. Terry Terlep.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The Huffman family — Piper, Larry, Wyatt and Ty — all had a hand in the raising and training of the pup named Jack.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Wild Agin started his field trial career as a Derby in 2004 with five open Derby wins, including runner-up at the All-America Derby Championship. Jack went on to win nine open all-age events including the National Championship in 2008; the American Quail Classic; twice winner of the Southern Championship and named runner-up of this event on two other occasions; runner-up in the Mississippi Championship and winner of the Benton County twice. He was a competitor with considerable talent, courage and stamina.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Wild Agin’s ability to sire winning offspring was his forte and he passed many of his physical athletic attributes to his offspring. He was an individual with a beautiful stride and his sons and daughters show the easy running style that carry them over a lot of ground with very little effort.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">His offspring have exerted a considerable influence on the pointer breed. Recent 2014 accomplishments include champion Dazzling and runner-up Skyfall of the 2014 Georgia Derby Championship, respectively; 2014 Continental Championship runner-up Erin’s Wild Justice; 2014 National Amateur Free-for-All winner The Crowd Pleaser, and the 2014 Texas Championship runner-up Whippoorwill Wild Assault.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Dazzling has won the 2014 Purina All-Age Derby of the Year Award.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Upon his retirement in 2010, Jack moved to Boston, Ga., where he lived out his days enjoying life to the fullest. Always a happy dog, he was a pleasure to be with and he enjoyed human friendship and attention. He was the noble animal he was meant to be and he always did the usual unusually well throughout his life.</span></span></div>

We’ve never had less than three, and at one point, due to circumstances beyond our control (soft heads, soft hearts, dogs in need of rescue) we had five, and the chaos level in the house was on a par with a badly run kindergarten. Imagine the lunatics not even bothering to run the asylum. We have decided to keep it down to two, but that still leaves us one dog shy, so we drove down to the nearest city to see about rescuing a dog. I’m not sure why, but southern California seems to have more than its fair share of irresponsible pet owners. Between three and four <i style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">million</i> dogs and cats are euthanized at shelters all across America every year. That translates to roughly 80,000 animals a week, and the shelters in southern California are overwhelmed. Apparently large numbers of people labor under the misapprehension that neutering old Rover or Miss Tabby is somehow cruel. Or maybe they’re just so dumb they don’t even think of it at all. The Audubon Society claims that the single greatest killer of migrating songbirds is the domestic (or feral) cat, yet people all over the nation think it is cruel not to let their cats out to play. It is possible the birds who get played with have a different perspective. And every mentally negligible moron in the country seems to think his dog is worthy of reproduction (“Let the kiddies see the miracle of birth.” I have actually heard that.) with the result that every time you go to the local shopping mall there are kiddies standing out in front with cardboard boxes of puppies they are trying to give away. Or starving pit-bulls running loose along the interstate. Or unidentifiable messes of bloody fur on the asphalt. In the years we have lived in our little rural corner of the mountains, ten miles out from a very small town, Darleen and I have averaged two stray dogs a year on our property. For the first four or five years we earnestly tried to find the owners, but after one such paragon of compassion told Darleen on the phone, “Ah, just kick him in the gut and send him on home,” (that’s a direct quote) we stopped trying to return them. Now we feed them and take them down to the shelter or, if injured, to our local vet. If you’re too stupid and irresponsible to get your dog micro-chipped, and you can’t be bothered to even keep a collar with a tag on him, you don’t deserve to get him back. But rescuing a dog is not as easy as you might imagine. We had to rule out a wide range of the shelter’s offerings. Pete is a male, a male with a tendency for brawling, and I have broken up more than my fair share of dog fights during my life, so it’s female only. We ruled out dogs with obvious communicable diseases, and dogs that showed any signs of aggression toward people or toward Pete or toward cats. After that we ruled out various characteristics or breed types that would make our lives miserable for one reason or another. We spent two days at two different shelters and finally gave up. The best of the bunch was a sort of Labrador kind of cross that had been neglected in a backyard for so long that it had reached a state I can only describe as catatonic in terms of its reactions to humans. She was fine with Pete, but completely unresponsive to the vet tech, to me, to Darleen. I can understand a dog being unresponsive to me, but if a dog is unresponsive to Darleen, it has serious problems. A pet rock would respond to my bride. So we are still, for the time being, a one-dog family. But what the experience left me with was a conviction that there is something seriously wrong with man’s relationship with his best friend. And if man can treat an animal with such callous disregard, how will he treat his fellow man? I don’t think we’re going to see peace on earth anytime soon.</div>

Went out yesterday looking for Hogs, found a little sign here and there along the river bank but mostly just wanted to get out a while. One of my favorite spots! Blessed to have this area in my back yard.<br />

I copy this article for you because I worked in this area for 5 years with Derek and others. We heard often of the Lions on the Rovuma river taking people. Many went to try their hand at eliminating them but they are very cunning and human savvy. It is said they are descended from the Lions of long ago back to Livingston's day when the Lions would feed on the remains of discarded slaves en route from the interior to the slave auctions on the coast and have kept in their DNA the intelligence learned over time as to the hunting and eating of humans.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Change comes slowly to northern Mozambique. Wally Johnson, hunting legend of the last century, worked the area and shot some very big tuskers there. He noted of the native Makonde people that "their women all had a two-inch nail sticking through their upper lips." Originally an ornamentation, it also had the happy result of making them unappealing to the Arab slavers that trolled through Makonde villages seeking to stock the sultan's harems.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">During the independence conflict a generation ago, the area became a war zone as Portuguese colonial troops battled insurgents coming south out of Tanzania. The guns went quiet in 1974, and African nationalists took power, but rural villagers here live a primitive life largely unaffected by political trends.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Villagers are mostly Muslim, some are animist, but witchcraft is rampant and there are dark whispers of cannibalism, widely practiced in days of yore, creeping back into the local culture. And, just as they have done for centuries, the roars of man-eaters that roam this wild land continue to send waves of pure terror through a vulnerable populace.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Straddling the Lugenda River, with the Rovuma River to the north, this is a vast, unruly wilderness where granite inselbergs (rocky obelisks) burst above the bush like gigantic tombstones and dominate a forbidding landscape lined with labyrinthine river systems. As they near the sea, the rivers widen into a lush littoral, and along these pristine watercourses, elephants sometimes journey all the way to the surf.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The few outsiders who visit here legally come to hunt the coutadas, or safari concessions, and these licensed hunters and their scouts are on the front line of the area's latest war, against organized, effective, and violent ivory-poaching gangs.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"Much as I loathe these poachers, I must admit they're tough and aggressive, and some are bloody good elephant hunters. I found seven big bulls in a pile put down virtually atop one another by a single shooter. It was a stunning display of fine musketry. I went after him, but he gapped it out of the area at speed."</span></span></div>

<strong style="background-color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="color: white;">Return of the Lions</span></strong><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Into this vacuum of lawlessness, lions have moved in from southern Tanzania and the interior of Mozambique. Increasingly these cats are adding humans to their menu. One explanation for the increase in man-eaters is that bushpigs have become a dietary mainstay for lions living near settlements. The pigs invariably feed at night in cornfields, which are often guarded by crop-protecting villagers. When the lions come hunting, they come into close proximity to people, and the cats develop a sense of familiarity that breeds lethal contempt. Sleeping sentries become collateral targets, and once the lions appreciate the ease of the kill, they add human flesh to their diet.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"There's something unusual about the relationship between man and beast in this place," says Derek Littleton, a resident professional hunter. "The folks here are generally docile, shy, self-effacing. Lions are generally wary of man, but here that's not always the case. They almost lord themselves over the people in some places. Lions do not take the same liberties with the Maasai, for instance. They'll attack them, too, but they're a damn sight less brazen about it."</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Exacerbating the threat, there is a dearth of horned game in some areas, and in those places humans constitute the most convenient form of nutrition. The conventional wisdom is that man-eaters are generally old, infirm, or wounded. That does not apply here. There is a report of one lion on the Rovuma who is thought to be accountable for the deaths of more than 40 people. When they caught up with him, it was discovered he was only four years old.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Littleton has been following hard on the tracks of one of the most prolific predators in the area for more than a year now.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"He's a cunning fellow. Operates alone, moves into an area, and he's not shy about announcing his arrival by roaring into the night," says Littleton. "The villagers light fires, some sleep in tree platforms or barricade their homes, but he bides his time until things settle down. On one occasion, he broke through a door and attacked a child but couldn't bite through the heavy straw mat that shielded the kid."</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Failing to breach the door on another hut, the cat leapt onto the thatch and went in through the roof to snatch a young girl inside.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"He kills, then moves a big distance, and it's hard work following him," says Littleton. "A lot of the ground is rocky and hard, making tracking tough, but I'm going to get him."</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Anticipating an attack one night, Littleton waited outside a village but heard nothing.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"When I gathered my kit in the morning, I found a human shoulder bone a short distance away. He had eaten while I waited. He's a confident killer."</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Such is the confidence of the lions that they have even moved close to the coastal town of Mocimboa da Praia. One victim, a disgruntled gambler, emerged from the local casino to take stock of his losses under a mango tree. Unbeknownst to him, a lioness lurked in the branches above, and just when he thought his evening could get no worse, she alighted upon him. At the end of the encounter, he had to reconcile himself to having lost not only his money but also part of his bottom. Luckily, a crowd collected and scared the cat away, and the punter lived to lick his wounds.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Adding to the woes of those who seek to deal with the killers is the curious attitude of the locals, many of whom believe the lions are merely acting on behalf of aggrieved ancestral spirits seeking to purge the community of those possessed by evil.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">On one occasion, a hunter on fresh tracks, close to making contact with a small group of males that had been raiding villages, was ordered to halt by an official in the civil administration. It was discovered later that tribal leaders and cuchucuheiros (witch doctors) had intervened and lobbied the authorities strongly on the lions' behalf. The issue became political and the local administration bowed to the tribes' demands. The lions were left to kill again.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">But man's problems in the area do not end with lions, says hunter James Egremont-Lee.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"Most interesting for me are the man-eating hyenas that terrorize some of the coastal villages south of Mocimboa da Praia," he says. "The vegetation is denser, and there are plenty of lions, but in this area the hyena are the dominant threat. They move in packs and are so brazen that they actually haul victims out of their huts. A nightmare situation, hearing the hysterical, almost diabolical cackling of hyenas gathering to attack you in your home.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"We had six people killed by hyenas in coastal villages near us, and 14 taken by crocodiles. It's not a neighborhood for the faint-hearted."</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Lions wreak their share of havoc on the eastern coast, too.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">"My first experience with [coastal] lions was at a village on the Lugenda," recounts Egremont-Lee. A young girl was sleeping with her family on the veranda of their hut, where they might be cooled by the breeze. "She was plucked from her bed and carried away, but the noise awoke a relative who gave chase and the child was mercifully discarded. Luckily, none of the punctures were into the bone, the infection was treatable, and she recovered."</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">A less fortunate girl, snatched in full view of a crowd squatting around an evening fire, was spirited into the surrounding bush. When the villagers gave chase, the lion dropped the girl, turned on them, put them to flight, and then slunk into the night to consume his quarry.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">And so, the ancient contest between man and beast continues in this east-African wilderness, by turns enduring and resisting the vagaries of modernity. George Adamson, the author of Born Free, warned that nature would strike back at civilization that intruded too deeply into wild places. Perhaps the lions of northern Mozambique are in that vanguard.</span></span></div>

Harry Selby<br />
<br />
When I am hunting and fishing with the right attitude, I reenter the woods and rivers with a moment-by moment sense of the glories of creation, of the natural world as living fabric of existence, so that I'm both young again but also 70 thousand years old.<br />
Jim Harrison<br />
<br />
Anyone who fails to be moved at a primal level by the sight of vast schools of salmon fighting their way upstream in response to inscrutable instincts to procreate and die probably shouldn't be there anyway.<br />
E Donald Thomas Jr.<br />

One's own heart is the best place to store the few things of life that really matter.<br />

Sitting here in a warm space while the weather is chilled by an overcast rain filled sky I just am given over to the thoughts that come from other places and long gone time. Time spent that was so enjoyable that I knew I should take it in in deep breaths of memory that should be reverently placed within a sacred chest in my aging soul. There I can go at times like this and replay just for myself the happenings of the day or night moving me once again as it once did when I was there apart of the scene that brought me such satisfaction.<br />
<br />
I stand there as I have learned to do and take another look, breath in the scents, one more time I feel the emotion and experience the exertion, the adrenaline rising and falling away as the accomplishment of realizing I have once again found the place I should be right at that very moment.<br />
<br />
Once in Mozambique while driving in an open vehicle down a dusty dry riverbed close to dark I remember smelling the sweet musk of a Leopard somewhere close to the track. Not once but several times over the hours of the drive while the lights of the Landcruiser illuminated often the eyes of hunters and hunted in the limbs of the leafless bush, that smell would fill the workings of my senses. I would see the blinking red, white, or orange colored flames of the eyes of those looking down as I passed and feel them there. Sometime I see a glimpse of fur or the flash of a tail, an empty limb swaying from the weight of something now gone in an instant. Bush Babies, Leopards, Baboons, Porcupines, Night Jars, all shifting here and there and some poised and calm watching calmly covered by the night watching me go.<br />
<br />
Another time I was leaving the Bush to catch the plane home in Pemba. I started early around 3 AM as I wanted to drive the bush roads at night in the coolness. Just after dawn on a good strait stretch I saw ahead a pack of Wild Dogs laying in the road, they were a large group and I knew them as I had driven many times to the area with clients as I could always find them just off this road in a dry river where water stood under a tall bank of the river even in the dry season. They would be there most days during the heat of the mid day sun drinking and wallowing. This place was also an advantageous vantage point to view the river bed east and west as the river was strait for a good way in either direction. They could lay up and watch for anything moving either way and as the land lay flat all around it was a good place to launch a stalk.<br />

This day they lay in the road bed I was traveling and as I approached they perked up a bit but continued to lay resting mostly. I will always think they could recognize the sound of my Cruiser and knew me by that as I would sometime do a little bark to see if they were around in the river bed, they would always send a sentry out of the bush to investigate and when they knew there was no danger I would just sit there and usually curiosity would get the best of most as they would peek out here and there take a look and vanish. But this morning was different as I got closer within about 50 ft I stopped but left my engine on. Some of the males even got up and approached closer and I barked a little low yelp. A few answered some lay back down and showed no sign of moving. I just sat and breathed it in wishing I had my binos out of my bag. I must have set there for a good 5 minutes when a little further down the road I could see two females moving from the bush to the road. One was a young bitch and the other seemed to be apprehensive as she would look at me and then glance over her shoulder sit a while go a few paces back towards the bush then toward the road. The other looked thin and had a very low hanging belly, eventually I realized she had probably just whelped not long ago. Anyway my attention being on the two I began to catch movement low to the ground behind her<br />
an eventually she persuaded several young pups to follow her out into the road where she lay down and began to nurse. At this several of the males rose and began to get a little flustered as they would yelp look at me and then at her as if saying this isn't a good place for that but eventually they settled again with some still standing and two approaching the truck first on one side then on the other sniffing the air constantly. I deducted they were trying to get my sent, there was no wind but we were so close I knew they could smell me. I decided to cut the engine and see what goes. Cutting the engine brought a few pricks of the ears and some long stares but all was good and I was prepared to sit there forever. Another five minutes and the Bitch stood up, licked a few pups and moved off in the direction she had come, the nurse following, then one by one and then two three and more they all moved off following her and disappearing like ghosts except one old male grizzled around the mouth. He stood off at a right angle to me at about 30 ft. sat down and just looked at me as if he was waiting for something. I spoke to him and told him I appreciated them visiting with me. At this he gave a little yelp as he was turning to go and never looked back but just walked away. I gave them a little time and cranked up and drove away. I have contemplated many times over this event and I would like to think they had come to realize I was no threat to them, that they recognized me and felt safe around me. I will really never know for sure but at that moment my thoughts were that they were saying goodbye to me in their way. That thought is now more meaningful than ever because I haven't been able to return for several years for various reasons. Maybe that was the last time I will ever be there a thought that brings a terrible sadness, all I can say is that on that morning I was right where I was supposed to be, below are pics from other times.<br />
