Well tonight I was bored as usual and couldn't sleep so I decided to try and find some wildlife out here to take pictures of (3am, critters are all over on the roads). I pulled up to a field and took the camera out to see how much of a range I could get with the flash & iso 1600 in pitch black.

I aimed out the passenger window and took a picture, only to see the reflection of a huge eye staring at me about 10 feet away :shock::shock::shock:

I dumped the clutch as whatever it was crashed through the tall grass and I got the **** OUT OF THERE. About 5 min and a few miles later I stopped to look at the picture, and here's what I got. Only resized.

Looks like a baaaaaaaaah or a moooooooooh of some sort. In any way, you should have scared the animal, I bet you'd get a great steak for sunday dinner. :D

HAHA, was it as big as Godzilla?

Did it gnaw its teeth at you. I've done some crazy things similar.

This TOTALLY reminds me of a time a bear was nudging at my tent for a good 10 minutes while we lay inside (in the fetal position) trying not to freak out, listening to it snort and grunt and whatever. Then it moo'd.

DAMN THE COWS!... or whatever the heck that was. LOL!!
