Oh that brings up a bad memory.
As a kid I rode the bus. I went outside to find my sisters dog locked up in the front of our house in full view of everyone on the bus when it would stop to pick me up. Crazy how every time I see or hear of this happening I think of that memory as a kid. The thought of having to get on that bus with this happening made a huge mark in my memory bank. Heck I am having a hard time remembering what I did yesterday.
However being a boy of action I did get my practice herding, with all mean at my disposal, a set of simese twin dogs each pointed in the opposite direction, to the back side of the house in record time.

I shot two like that once a few years ago,last day of the season.

They died happy, kinda like the two squirrels on my woodpile a few years back.

those crappers would be great along the river i work on. so many people camping/fishing, its real nasty by the end of a summer.

have they left them out in the bush before? outside of a structure? looks to me like they'ld end up being expensive play toys for bears. if they are just outside covering a hole. keep us updated on how long they last.

I've seen and used ones along rivers in BC. They had been there a while and were no worse for the wear. As Brian can atest the perch is quite comfortable.

if they've got them along some rivers in bc already. won't be long until there out on the dean.

last summer. one of my clients took a crap on top of a squirrel miden. and then lit the paper on fire. i spent nearly a week, couple hours a day. with the water pump/fire hose. putting the fire out. lucky,could of been real bad.

Just back from another mountain expedition. Headed up into Willmore Wilderness with a couple friends doing a bit of volunteer work for Parks. This area is know as one of the most scenic parts of the park. Because of the warm winter we are having we weren't sure about conditions but it turned out to be perfect. Stayed in one of my travelling partners trapline cabins, a beautiful hand crafted log structure. A good time for sure



One of the iconic peaks



I came home with some trophies. This area is famous for hunting. I saw cow moose & calf while out plus tons of wolf tracks, some lynx, lots of fox, but not much marten



Of course folks have been using the mountains for a long long time.

The cow and the calf powered their way up the slope through thick crusted snow to get away from us



But the rams just laid there. There were seven in this bunch

It can't always go smooth

Oh yea... this is the sign that greeted me on the way in. No I didn't put chains on.

Some of these camps have interesting features.

I like this one with the old cabin in the background. It was used during the 1920's for exploration purposes.

Looks like a Coors Lite, to me. Good taste.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing those pics!

Thanks moose. I only post on this forum because the folks on here speak my language. Big thanks to the pioneers of this forum like Family Trapper and White 17 who have built the culture of this site. A lot of helpful info and no posers.

we're right in the midst of filming wolverines. This male has been displaced from his territory and looks like he's had his butt kicked.

Dang, that must hurt !
Great photos as always.

OUCH!!!!! Unique picture there!
