[Whittler Kev]

Nice pics dude. Much better scenery than I've seen in this area

[Col_M]

Thanks for contribution, you´re currently in CZ? Prague?

Yeah, I've been living here in Prague for four years now, the language is difficult but I'm making progress slowly

nothing that interesting, an American software/cloud services company.

I thought that Col_M is somehow related to colonel:-). So how do you like Prague? Honestly, I don´t, I think that we have more beautiful cities elsewhere with not so much human trash (immigrants selling drugs in Vaclav´s square are especially pis.ing me off).

[Col_M]

Ah no just as simple as my name being Colin
Prague is nice, it's much less hectic than other capital cities but it's about 4x bigger than my hometown, it has everything you need and the countryside is so easy to get to. Will be even easier if I get a car :-)

I think I'm definately a country boy at heart though and love the peace and quiet but wages are always bigger in the city so it's a catch 22 situation.

So I´m glad you enjoy your time, not a bad beer, especially its price, is it?:-) I highly recommend private brewery "Basenth" in Prague. They have also good kitchen. But be aware, right next to it is pretty crappy stinky pub called similarily "U Basenthu". Cost of apartments in Prague is not so good, I would say it´s downright terrible, at least for me like a Czech. So if you like countryside, I recommend NP Šumava (www.npsumava.cz), apprx. 2 hours drive to south, probably the most beautiful place here, large woodlands, lakes, rolling hills, clear enviroment, and good cross country/downhill skiing and cycling.

It´s freezing -10°C right now, so I will post something warmer:

Today the weather was fine and sunny (although windy as hell), so I went to the hills to break in a new pair of Meindl boots, and during that I did my traditional trail cam run:

[MrEd]

I didnt want to get one for award winning photography, more jsut to see whats around in my patch - i can find loads of sign but not the actual animals lol

[BushrangerCZ]

Short walk into the hills today, trying out my new lenses, Tamron 18-270. Even if the range is extreme, it makes reasonably good pics:

This is a photo of one duck hunter who and whose companions accidentally encircled czech wild boar, and it decided to break away:

[MrEd]

yow!! thats some cut! look at all the layers!

was that tusk, teeth or claws?

[BushrangerCZ]

It was a tusk. It took some stitching, but nothing tragical.

[MrEd]

good job it wasnt round the front lol, hope it mended ok!

[exarkun]

Remind me to stay well clear of boars!!!

[BushrangerCZ]

[MrEd]

good god thats awesome, im quite jealous!

chance capture or did you stalk this one?

[BushrangerCZ]

My buddy saw it running to the ditch when driving to the range, so we stopped and stalked it for a while, after a minute, we got him:-).

[MrEd]

nice bit of stalking there, what distance where you from it?

[BushrangerCZ]

about eight meters I guess
