Las Vegas Trip Part II: Bass Pro and Red Rock Canyon

Next up we visited the local Vegas Bass Pro Shop. This photo shows only a small portion of all its outdoor glory. Even Dani was impressed and enjoyed the store.

We decided to stop at this shooting range and test our Old West shooting skills. It is now in my top 5 best ways to spend 50 cents along with bouncy balls and Glo-sticks.

Here is Dead-eye Dani hunting for dinner. Good thing we weren't hungry. Just kidding!

Here is Pappy and me releasing our aggression on tin cans, rattlesnakes, and ground squirrels.

Have you heard of the "Rut". If you hunt I imagine you have. If not read this sign. Dani got a kick out of it.


Sure its funny and natural when bull moose do it, but when I try the same thing it suddenly becomes disgusting.

Read this with an accent: Here, the urine coated moose show an impressive display of strength and stench. All the while the female stands by ...

...and here she is. And, what is that? A coy smile on her face. It must be the "intimidation through sheer physical appearance or antler size" the brings such a smile to the young female.

You can stop the accent now. Or not.

Here we see how the human species is enticed by the opposite sex. For the male Homo sapien it is not through the smell of urine that he is enticed, thank goodness, but through a Realtree Camouflage nighty. Ohhh yeah!

When's the next holiday? Fourth of July. Perfect, nothing says Independence Day like Camo-lingerie.

Ever wonder what the last thing a gazelle or zebra or unfortunate safari tourist sees before they die?

This is a mermaid blowing kisses. She was a part of the Silverton Casino which is attached to Bass Pro. She's boring, moving on...

After a fun morning we went to Red Rock Canyon State Park. It was a nice hot day and we were able to see some wildlife. Here is an elusive female big horn sheep stopping to pose for us.

Here is a group of male big horn sheep chasing the previous female. Actually I don't thing they were chasing her. Supposedly it was not breeding season. But, you never know. Throw a little urine behind the horns and she may be whistling a different tune.

Here is some more wildlife posing in front of a petrified sand dune. Who knew?

You could save 15% or more on car insurance by switching to Geico.

Dani was not fond of this little fella, though I was. He let me get real close for a good photo and then scurried away very quickly. This of course sent Dani scurrying towards me for protection which I did not mind.

Stay tuned for the final installment. Las Vegas Trip Part III: Black Canyon Float Trip.
