Never seen a weasel befor this....
My girls and I were hiking up a road in the uintah's and all the sudden this big old mouse comes running out in front of us. Sure enough it's being chased by a weasal I snapped a quick picture with my phone(sorry for poor quality). The weasal had to have weighed less than the mouse but the mouse didn't stand a chance. Kind of crazy. So what are some unique things you guys have seen out in the wild?
These beetle is another cool one I saw on the front with a friend

Looks like that weasel must've been hungry! While coyote hunting, I noticed something moving slowly behind me... It turned out to be a garter snake with a baby bird in its mouth. Super weird

Re: Never seen a weasel befor this....
Saw this green mormon cricket.
No pic but we had a salamander become thawed because of our camp fire. There was snow on the ground and I think it had been hybernating. The fire thawed the ground about 6' in diameter. Out of the mud crawled a salamander. This was at 10,000 ft. There was no pond or spring within 500 yards of our camp."Some day I'll scout out a monster, spot him while hunting, make the stalk of a lifetime, and have dreams come true. 'Til then I'll be happy with the buck in my cross-hairs."

Re: Never seen a weasel befor this....
I saw a small cottontail rabbit running down the road on a collision course with my truck in colorado. He seemed to want to commit suicide. Then I saw something about 20 yards behind it chasing it. Weasel I swerved around the rabbit and honked at the weasel and skidded in front of it giving the rabbit a chance. could help it.
when i was coyote hunting one time I saw a golden eagle flying low coming straight at me. It was dodging, swerving, flying erratic. I then noticed it was chasing a rabbit and then noticed a coyote was also in hot pursuit. The coyote caught the rabbit about 60 yards in front of me. I had a dead rest and the gun was loaded but I didnt shoot. I wanted to see what it sounds like for a predator to kill a rabbit so I can duplicate it in the field. I watched the coyote take it to a tree where he ate the rabbit in about 5 minutes. The magpies were there in seconds and they were all fighting over scraps. It seems the magpies might have been following the coyote and every time since that day when i see a magpie I look close buy and on a few occasions I've seen a coyote with them.
The coyote only lived one more day though I went back the next day and snuck in where he was laying and gave him a quick pup yelp and thats all it took. He came running to about 35 yards where I shot him with a 40 grain .223.
