Looks like the chase phase has started in the rut

Of the Texas tortise.

Gonna take a while to catch her but he looks determined.

We had a massive gopher tortoise on our place a couple years ago strut right past us. You could have thrown a saddle on that thing.

They can nove pretty fast.
I was about 5 feet from them in the Mule when I pulled out the phone to snap a pic. The doe(?) tortise noticed me and took off.
That pic was at about 15 feet and zoomed.
Granted, a focused hare could easily beat one in a foot race, but they certainly don't move at a snail's pace!

Hold on to your tag as long as you can BK. You know that the youngsters are the first to start chasing.
