Cabela’s at Owatonna, Minnesota (Post Two)

Post by xl_target » Mon Feb 14, 2011 10:53 am

After picking up our stuff, it was time to feast our eyes on the wildlife display. I thought I would get some photos for the nature lovers among us. I hope you enjoy them.

A reminder about the rewards of a well managed hunting program.

A Lynx looking for supper.

Whitetail Deer: When the rut approaches, Whitetail bucks rub the velvet off their antlers.
Often, you will come across saplings like this with the bark rubbed off them. This signifies that a buck is in residence in the area.
The size of the rub will tell you a little about the size of the rack on the buck

The Moose! They are huge animals!

Griz is hungry for a Porcupine dinner. He must be really hungry!

A Coyote up front, Javelina's in the middle and Mule Deer behind them.

Antelope

Turkeys

Motherly Love

Ringneck Pheasant; common in this area. The male has brilliant plumage.

This is a magnificent scene depicting wolves chasing down Elk.

Polar Bears. It's hard to see scale in these photos but I'd be willing to swear that the one standing up is 10 ft tall.

Canis Lupus

Well, it looks like everyone seems to have lunch in hand.

It was past noon so we were getting hungry and decided to find some lunch too.
The constant eating going on in the wildlife display was making my stomach rumble. :D

Just looking at all the game is enough to make my mouth water, let alone their eating habits.
