What is the most common wildlife you all have seen while out riding? Either up in the hills or down here on the flats?

I think I've only ever seen a couple deer out on the trails.

I've seen lots of deer, some moose, coyote's, elk and a wolf or two but only for a second or two.
In the mountains I've seen caribou.

Riding in the summer I have seen the odd bear but never in the winter.

One year sledding at hasler(near chetwynd b.c.) we were stopped eating are lunch on the trail over to the aluminum bowl and a silver fox came over to join use for lunch. The fox came right over and would eat right out of are hands!:specool:

That fox thing sounds like one of those moments where you wish you had the camera ready!

Whisky Jacks

Not that they are that rare to see, but we had the Whisky Jacks eating out of our hands at the Boulder Cabin in Revy.

Only wish that would happen with the chicks in the bar at night!! Like Tyler says, we did have a camera, but didnt take any pics. :D (of either!)

I'm guessing your saying "Girl" due to the lack of antlers? The male moose drops its antlers after mating season in order to conserve energy for the winter. It will then regrow them in the spring. The antlers take about three to five months to grow. In the fall during hunting season (Sept/Oct) their antlers are at thre largest. So maybe your right but I'll leave it to you to sneak up and check out the plumbing!!

Cheers
:D :D :D
I think that might be "big girl".....??? :dunno: :drink4:
