While cleaning out another corner of my computer room, I found an envelope of very old pictures. At first I couldn't even remember where they came from. Seems they were some of my grandparents photos that had never been identified. I'm not sure how I ended up with them.

The photo above was very small, not in very good shape, and I had no idea what it was except that it was a lot of armed men. After I scanned it at a high resolution, and made some improvements in Photoshop, I could make it out better. Looking at it full size on the computer screen, I see it is a photo taken of what I assume was a wolf hunt. I guess it could be coyotes, but I think those are dead wolves hanging on the wagon. I think this was probably taken somewhere in Nebraska. There are sure a lot of guns! I think I will google "early Nebraska wolf hunt" today to see if I can find some information.

This cow moose was on the ditchbank in my back yard last night. She is one of the biggest I have ever seen! I never saw a calf around her. It was almost dark, and hard to get a decent photo of her.
