Ox-on Alert

Scout the Ox: Is there a bear in the woods?

Scout the Ox: Hyper-alert.

I'm not sure what they were onto this day, but the ox and dog were both onto something. I have observed Scout the Ox is very keen to sounds, smells, and movement. He doesn't seem to miss anything!
In these pictures we were downwind from the point-of-interest.  

Big. . . .but not that Big!

They had just finished seeding a field of soybeans, May 27th, 2013.

Ox Meets Hidebehind (Fearsome Critter of the Deep Woods)

Harry the Dog gets too far ahead and Scout the Ox meets face-to-face with a Hidebehind, fearsome critter of the deep woods. Scout loses his usual cool, acts like a horse, and gets himself in a pickle.
