+Tank Hounds Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'm not sure if these count or not...lol This was on our cruise to Alaska a few years ago...This is Mr TH...can you tell that he was getting tired of getting his pic taken in front of these things? He had to make his signature pose..... If those don't count...here's a "real" pic of a hoofed animal...this was in Estes Park, CO..a whole herd of Elk walked by while I was caching...it was very cool! (The one pic is elk in front of the Stanley Hotel...(you know...the hotel from "The Shining"?) Quote Link to comment
+fingers crossed Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hopefully this is one of the more amooseing ones Quote Link to comment
MotoCycleBoi Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Wow!!! So many great photos and stories. I love it! It's not going to be easy to pick the winners. Keep 'em Coming Quote Link to comment
Rosenkamm Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Oh, that's a GREAT idea for a cointest I took this photo in a german zoo...but I don't remember if it was a moose or a reindeer.... And here are some hoofs & horns... Scrubbing itself with a broom This cow was VERY interested in my camera I met her while I was searching for a cache... friendly, but extremly curious Melli Quote Link to comment
+surteb Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) I took this one at the zoo a couple of weeks ago, on Mother's Day actually. The baby doesn't have his horn yet, and it looks like the mama had her horn cut off! But, I had a great time watching them run around together. Only thing better would be getting to see it in their natural environment. *edited so my photo isn't so huge! Edited May 30, 2008 by surteb Quote Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 LOL.. not sure which one of us had the goofier grin. I hit it off with this cutie a few years ago.. One of my fav. pics. Say Cheeese!!! Bwaaaaahaaahaa ahah ahah haa! This is my favorite! Quote Link to comment
+Tschakko Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I just found this coin an hour ago in a cache. I only got a cell phone kamera right now, the quality is not the best, but you can see the moose in the bottem right corner of the coin.... Quote Link to comment
+usyoopers Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 We ran into this very lovely, and colorful!, herd of Moose on a road trip to New Hampshire. ...I'll share more Quote Link to comment
+usyoopers Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Another one of the herd.... Quote Link to comment
+surteb Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Ok, so they're little horns, but they're oh so cute! (Another zoo pic, by the way.) Quote Link to comment
+mark&beth Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Since I've spent the last 6 years doing research on dairy cows I thought it would be fitting to post these pics! The woman in the picture is one of the research technicians taking rumen fluid from a ruminal cannula in a dairy cow. It's a window into the largest stomach of a cow (and every ruminant). Enjoy!

MotoCycleBoi Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Can't really say that I enjoyed that one ... Quote Link to comment
southpawaz Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I posted a closer shot of the bolder one of these antelopes in Dorsetgal's recent cointest, here is the trio that shied away from me. Taken near Prescott, Arizona. Quote Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I don't know if this counts, It's a TB. Quote Link to comment
+usyoopers Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Very colorful indeed! I think she was trying to hide behind this bush. Quote Link to comment
+Team Professor X Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 We have a special cache for a hooved and horned animal, the goat in an urban area! Quote Link to comment
+usyoopers Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 This one was done using little pieces of tile...I can't imagine the time it took! Quote Link to comment
+surteb Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Saw this beauty while in Yellowstone last summer. I made sure to stay out of his way - there's a lot of bulk on those little legs! Quote Link to comment
+usyoopers Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Q- What would you tell a moose that says the world is flat? A- "You're moosetaken" Quote Link to comment
+usyoopers Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Q- What's a wolfs favorite holiday dessert? A- Chocolate Moose! Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 We had this photo taken while doing this cache in San Diego Zoo in January 2006. As you can see, GeoDog was none too keen on being towered over by such a huge giraffe! We were in a behind the scenes touching tour at the zoo! Quote Link to comment
+ElliPirelli Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 At my sons birthday we went on a tour to the deer in our local wildlife sanctuary. Here there are some fallow and sika: The children were allowed to feed them with lichen and learned that they actually die if they feed on gras. That's why the reindeer are kept in a barren area and have some willow branches to strip the bark. One was very tame and quite nosey. There might be some lichen in my pocket, one never knows... After some time with the live reindeers we walked over to a tent, in which we all sat on reindeerfur around a small fire, ate muffins and listened to a true story about trolls. Later on, they practised lassoing a deer, well it was a fur over a wooden block with some horns attached... It was great and all the not so small kids (around 11 years old) enjoyed their day with the deer. The sanctuary has quite a selection on different deer as well as other horn and hoof sporters, unfortunately no moose. There's a great childrens book, called 'What use is a moose'! We love it! Kind regards, ElliPirelli Quote Link to comment
+usyoopers Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Q- Why do moose sing during the holidays? A- They like the moosic! Quote Link to comment
+Droo Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) Our local zoo has had a celebrity for many years: Gemina the giraffe. Born with the defect seen here she lead a normal life at the zoo and lived to the age of 21. A face more than a mother could love... Edited June 1, 2008 by Droo Quote Link to comment
+Geo-Gophers Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Another of a red deer stag.......taken in Glen Etive again, last year. Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I took this photo of Caesar and a bull, which was part of the requirements for logging this cache, in Birmingham, England. It is based in an area called The Bullring. Quote Link to comment
+Anthus Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Here is my Sara at horse camp last year. It was her first year. Here is my Katlyn at horse camp last year with one of the mini horses. This was her 3rd year. Horses are her favorite animal. Thanks for the cointest! ....Anthus Quote Link to comment
Nenne_ Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Here you go a bunch from Sweden. (I want to stand outside of this cointest because I am the wife of MCB , but I share the photos anyway ) A big visit outside around the corner.. I wish I did have a better camera with me insted of a mobile camera It looks like he say boo! and scares the other one to jump. Can he see me? He looked and gave me that expression ..like.. na na na -you can not catch me.. Quote Link to comment
+Geo.Error Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 We are a little afraid Quote Link to comment
+mark&beth Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 We were caching yesterday and had to take advantage of snapping this pic! There were a bunch of beef cattle on the dyke we were walking around and one lonely dairy cow. Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Ok! Yesterday I went for a walk, near my house! the area there has a micro cache! I saw a cow lying and enjoying the sun! Probably the same cow with the other photos, but... Quote Link to comment
+Belfrypotters Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 We have the occasional moose wander through our property, but I couldn't find any pictures, so it will have to be a deer instead. We have a herd of deer who clean up the mess under the bird feeder in the winter. Very handy! White-tailed deer shed their horns every winter, so I'm not sure he qualifies for the hoof/horn contest.

+Geo.Error Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Does this count, we could not found while caching a real hoof and horns animal, only this iron one did we encounter Quote Link to comment
+kyoteh Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Love seeing all these picts of critters! Here's a baby moogle that was hanging out right where we wanted to look for a cache one day. He was *really* young! Also some deer I came across awhile back I figured I'd share. Quote Link to comment
+Geo-Gophers Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I felt so bad as I was taking this........it must have been near their feeding time and they all came rushing towards me. Then they just stood staring and looked so disappointed....especially the lambs. Thought I'd stick this one up because they do have tiny hooves and this breed have horns lol.....they're hardly as interesting as a moose or any of the other critters on here though!!

+surteb Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Not what you were expecting, I bet. But, it is a Great Horned Owl! Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hehehe! Today I walked near my house, and of course near to a cache! A cow was there! Quote Link to comment
+surteb Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I took this shot today! Found this beauty among the wilds of my refrigerator! Quote Link to comment
dimkasmir Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Here are some pictures from a place that my family and I visit every summer called Pine Mountain Lake. Deer are very common there and very friendly towards humans. Here are two pictures of me hand-feeding deer and one of a deer running away. Edited June 5, 2008 by dimkasmir Quote Link to comment
+kehunt64 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 On May 29, 2002, while driving to my first week long hike inside the Grand Canyon National Park, we passed these elk eating breakfast in the median between the road and a hotel parking lot in Tusayan on Highway 64 outside of the south entrance into the national park.

+kehunt64 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 May 2002, I was resting on top of a picnic table in the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park while my son played on the edge of the water. While there these Mule Deer walked right by us, they were within a few feet of us and just went on about their business. Quote Link to comment
xboxcrazy33 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thought I would enter some of my pictures, in hopes of winning and getting my geocoin collection started.
