Camera Critters - Texas Longhorn in Missouri

This big guy has been around for quite some time... 
I don't know how long Texas Longhorns live, but he's old!
He lives on a hillside near Van Buren, Missouri w/ the horses you see here
& sometimes he's out there grazing, sometimes he isn't... 
but I can guarantee you'll see him at some point.
We've been traveling between Poplar Bluff & Van Buren (a river town) for years
& the kids have always kept an eye out for this dude
to see if they could catch a glimpse of him & those long horns!

That is definitely quite a set of horns. I think I would keep my eye out for this guy if I were in the area.

How green it is in Missoury, Tricia...it is sooo inviting!!

Wonderful horses shot!!!!

Lois Evensen said...

Those horns have to be heavy to carry around! Great images.

He's an amazing specimen of long horn! Fine pastoral feeling shots with lovely greens and the grazing animals. Nice pictures.

Judy said...

I just love seeing the Texas Longhorns...I love that bottom shot. Those are some pretty big horns.

Ms. Becky said...

those are some long horns alright. he has a halter on so I'm guessing he's a pet. I would think it'd be uncomfortable toting around those things all day. but he's a natural. have a fun weekend Tricia.

ladyfi said...

What amazing long horns! Cute pics.

Vinni said...

Wow, well those are some horns! hope a taxidermist does not spot him.

Jill Wellington said...

Never seen anything like that beast! Your photos are amazing, Tricia!

I just posted a barn blog and included a link to your website. Not sure how I was supposed to attach it here, but you can see it at www.babyboomerlaughline.blogspot.com

He's a beauty! Several ranchers around here keep a few longhorns and I always look for them and enjoy seeing them. One lives along a stream that I fish and he's huge but amicable.

Very nice place for taking photos.

Regards!

Impressive! My, he does have a beautiful set of horns on his head.

Jacob said...

Do you know why they developed the long horns?

And I'll tell you never get involved in an argument with a Texas Longhorn if your a long way from a fence!
