Strange things found in the forest

Quite often, I find a mylar baloon in the pasture, and think it's as close as I've seen to anything meeting the discription of that strange material. I don't think our government had mylar at the time of the Roswell incident or maybe they did and used it in secret projects.

I guess since I have found ballons, Mylar and regular ones, I don't think of them as strange anymore. :confused3::laughing:

The first I found was puzzling until I realized it was from a nearby church that had a kids birthday party. I have found several since then. What is strange is that I find the balloons in the same spot. :confused3: How is that possible. We are in the woods so how do the balloons get to a sport IN the woods...

Now, one balloon was a bit strange. It was the first balloon I found. I was walking the land when we had a contract on the place and saw what looked to be a man in a whitish colored suit leaning against a tree. That was a real WTF moment. :laughing::laughing::laughing: Twas a huge balloon. It took me a while to figure it out but it was a balloon from a place in town. At the time, a NASCAR team had built a large building in town and had these big balloons outside for some reason. One of the balloons got away and ended up on our soon to be place. What is odder still, is that the prevailing winds blow way from the NASCAR building, so the balloon got free on a day when the wind was in the opposite of its usual direction.

The owner of the neighboring parcel was out when I saw the balloon and we were having a chat and introducing ourselves. He has a deer stand near the property line but it faces mostly away from our land. Kinda a weird layout. Anyhow, we saw the balloon man leaning against a tree and he went over and took it. Not sure if he returned it to the NASCAR team or just tossed it in the trash.

Owls are gross. And they are scary as **** when you spot one in a tree while in the woods.

We have some owls at our place and we hear them from time to time. If they are close to you and let out a hoot, they will make you poo in your pants. :shocked::laughing::laughing::laughing:

When we had chickens, we turned the fenced in garden into a chicken run. One evening we were outside doing chores and I saw an owl fly to a tree about 50 yards away. The tree was at the edge of the woods. If I had not seen him land on the tree trunk, I don't think I could would have seen him at all. I had a heck of a time getting the wifey to see the owl because it blended in so well with the tree bark. Great camo it has and I don't think it is bought from Gander Mountain.

Not in the Forrest, on land next to mine.

Old & well worn manure spreader.

30 Gallon propane tank. That still has a little in it.

Murder Weapon!!
An exact copy of Colt single action, made in Germany.
Still had 3 live shells left in it. Too badly to rusted to even move the cylinder.
Made a weather vane out of it for a friend.
