The WoodChuck Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 WoodChuck here. When I went out to get the mail this morning, I think I saw a baby bantha grazing on the lawn. By the time I got close enough to verify it's identity, it scurried off into the woods. I'm concerned that Mama bantha could be close by. Are banthas mean? i am going to try to get a photo if I see it again. Hey, maybe I can find some tracks. What should I use for bait? Do baby banthas eat carrots?

The WoodChuck Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 The baby bantha came back very early this morning. It is shy and way too fast for me to get close. It left these impressions as it stepped off the driveway onto the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper1 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Follow the Bantha poo trail! It will lead you to the prime food source. Then you'll have your bait! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The WoodChuck Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 WoodChuck here. Today i tried using blue milk as bait. I am trying my best to get a photo, but even though the baby now comes closer to me, as soon as I do anything, like reaching for my camera or cell phone, it spooks it and it's gone in a flash. I'm thinking about trying to hide in the bushes, but it would be hard to stay down wind. Thirsty little bugger, it drank all the blue milk then licked the big bowl I had it in. Hmm, still haven't seen the mama or papa Bantha, what's up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I didn't know they were so fast and sneaky. Try with a many baits. That way it will go for the next one when finishing the first, giving you time to take a picture. Saludos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The WoodChuck Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 WoodChuck here. A new wrinkle in my baby bantha sighting. This morning I was awakened by a strange snorting sound just outside my bedroom window. My wife thought I was snoring..............another story. Anyway, I looked out the window and all I could see was a dark shadow. When my eyes focused, I realized it was a HUGE wall of weird looking fur. Looked more like dread locks then fur . I ran outside and came almost face to face with the Mama Bantha. A..........I think it was the mamma. She was sniffing the spot on the grass where I have been leaving the carrots and blue milk. When she realized I was there, she spun around, snorted at me, and I swear, I think she winked at me !? Then thunder roared and the ground shook as she ran off into the trees. Did you know that the mature banthas have a very long tail that drags along the ground? From what I saw, it seems to be sweeping away any trace of their tracks so they are harder to find.

The WoodChuck Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 WoodChuck here. I got a photo, well sort of......... I hid my camera in my sleeve and went out to the bait pile where the baby bantha was slurping up some of the blue milk. I was all set to take the shot, when all of a sudden, the mama bantha appeared out of thin air and swished her long hairy tail right at me. I did manage to get this EXTREME CLOSE UP of the baby bantha's face as I went flying into the bushes.... That's going to leave a mark................Stay tuned!

The WoodChuck Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 I went out to see what was happening after the mama bantha hurled me into the bushes. There was no sign of any animal anywhere, so I figured it was safe to walk or hobble around a little while. I still had my camera, and was hoping to find new tracks, or something as further proof of their visits. Then I heard a rustling sound, and saw a small shadow behind the hedge line. I took my camera and aimed for the spot where the bushes were shaking and got this shot: I don't speak "Tusken" but I'm pretty sure "GRRYETWURTGRRTE" translates to "Have you seen my baby bantha?"

The WoodChuck Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 The tusken raider named the baby bantha Bella and shipped her to a planet called Rancho-Obiwan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
