Pondering At The Ranch

While feeding the cattle this morning we spotted a helicopter flying and hovering over the banker's property next property over. There is a man about a mile or two west who owns a helicopter and leases out to people to work cattle or whatever.  We couldn't see an emblem on the 'copter, so I think if they were looking for illegals in the brush it would have been a game warden 'copter. John first thought they were checking the new gas pipeline that goes across the country out there but then we surmised they were not in the position of the pipeline. The banker doesn't have cattle on this ranch so they couldn't have been working cattle, driving them to the pens to be vacinated or branded. Maybe they were checking the exotic deer to see if there was a place they could be escaping through. Counting them? I don't know, anyone have an idea?

I would think they were locating the exotics and then possibly checking the fence, the the fence idea is out if they were more interior.

But I love the header picture, If it is not new, I have been missing it. Makes a postcard type picture.

I think they're looking for the deer. Lol. He may be long gone in someone's freezer. We have them flying over all the time they have a training station (what ever they call it) at the Andalusia, Opp airport and I think they're all from Fort Rucker. You always have an interesting read.Enjoyed. Take care.

My first thought was that they were looking for the deer. Would be nice to know, wouldn't it?

The helicopters sometimes look for illegal drugs and operations??? But if it was a neighbor could have been looking for anything.

Oh, dear...you have illegals coming through where you live? Aren't you worried about your safety? Now I will worry about your safety!

I think the helicopter was looking for aliens...from space. :) Like Men In Black.
