Fossil Bison skull found! Part !


 After a bit of an absence due to a family emergency I managed to get out on the river for a couple of days. Yesterday I found my first bison skull of the year. This was found in western Iowa and just after the break up of the ice so the water was cold. I Kayak the rivers and during this time of the year I wear chest waders to insulate myself from the freezing water but it is sometimes a challenge with leaks.

The videos of the bison skull recovery are in two parts because I had to put my phone down in order to dig it out of the river bed. At some point I am going to have to figure out a very light tripod or some similar way to focus my phone on a recovery.

Gusty winds

  I woke up at 2:30 am and am thinking about what the beaches are going to look like today. Hoping that the waves and tides will bring in some fossils. The winds have been very gusty and the weather unusually cold during the past several months of my stay in Texas. This has really hampered my ability to get out and find goofossils.

Crab Boil!

 We had a bit of a party with red drum on the half shell and fresh caught blue crab. A little Whistle Pig and an Acid 50 ring cigar to top it off. Hadn’t had an evening with good friends like that in 10 yrs.

Ancient Human Remains.

 We find ancient human rains several times during a season of hunting. The sheriff is called and they stop by to pick them up. Them the remains are turned over to an authority who repatriate them to a local tribe.
