Last boat ride for me yesterday. I had ice building on the boat from the spray on the way home. We saw hundreds of mallards (tempting), but it was too windy to go back. Instead, we chopped and wired 45 pieces of beaver for wolverine buckets and stuffed onion sacks for marten bait.

Today we made 75 pounds of swan/goose sausage and watched the Packers win!

Nice silver Howler!

Calling for a couple of inches of snow here tonight... but that probably doesn't mean anything. The weather forecast yesterday was 100% chance of rain... and it was beautiful. Lousy @$$ weather people. I could do a better job sitting on the john.

Well it would be a good day to take those whale parts back to where you "found" them..... I bet that spot will be a fox haven this winter.

We are in full blizzard mode here,, swageing .358 bullets to .356 for the old 9x57 Mauser and swageing .366 Hornady 286 gr down to .358 for the Norma Magnum. We have a net out for suckers to put in the garden and to cook for the dogs, the boss says it gets picked today storm or not.
Hauling out propane tanks as our supplier is no more!

Yeah, I'm wondering if they didn't have a camera set up. The warning in the paper sounded ominous lol! Luckily I know better and with gas @ 4.55 a gallon I'm not about to drive a hundred miles to get in trouble... I can do that closer to home. And X2 on what Jeff said. They stink bad enough when they are eating liquid salmon. Snow showers here but a nice day so far. Wind is supposed to pick up later. May make it into the hills tomorrow or Wednesday.

Snow rained off here, and wind coming, only N40, though. Makes me want to launch the skiff!


Made it almost 3 years without censor!

I went through that also. $200 to refill a 100 pounder locally. Better stop posting those kind of photos or people will think its not all hunting, trapping and fishing in the bush.

We can purchase propane at Pile Bay for $145 but it entails a 10 hr boat ride,We charged the lodges $25 a bottle and managed to fill some of ours and fuel the boat in return for wrestling 170lb bottles for a couple of days. We have a small wind turbine and a couple of solar panels now so our fuel bill has dropped considerably! Gas is $8.25 in Kokhankok and $6.55 in Pile Bay,,we use the Honda's for running traps whenever it's possible these days.

Found my goat today. I sure hope he is in the area tomorrow. Spiking in in the morning. It will take about three hours to get close enough to go after him- if/when I find him again. Watched him for a couple of hours but the wind switched and he headed over the top of some real nasty stuff to get out of it. He is pretty safe where he's at so I'll just have to get lucky.

I get 3 days off of work and the weather is pretty crappy, a lot of snow and low visibility. I did manage to take 1 shot at a ram that was quite a ways off, maybe if I had a spotter I would have shot a few more times. I also seen one wolf running around about 1 mile away from where I was at, man Im getting excited for my favorite time of the year.
Tomorrow Im going to go and look for the ram again, he looked to be a full curl easy. More snow tomorrow, time to bust out the snowmachine.


If it was easy, everybody would be doing it!
