Headed to the hills today to scout out some elk hunting spots



This one of my old camps




Found a nice sized puff ball and the redcaps are popping out also



Back in the day aboriginal families made a living along the river, today they have all moved into settlements






But their decedents still trap in the area



And just to prove I still got it I called a young bull into gun range...but was packing a bow

Those are some nice domed cabins you have there almost like a smurf lodge. What was that huge thing besides them looked like a giant glove?

You've been eating those mushrooms Muskrat? lol

Headed back to the cabins for a quick visit and check some of my trail cameras

Cowabunga Brian. Looks like you hit the jackpot on the trail cams. Quite the range.

That Griz even looks cranky in the picture. Some nice trail cam pictures there Brian.

that's a trophy puff ball we love to pick them.. my mothers life was saved by a puff ball when she was a kid . great pics

No mushroom pictures this time?

I knew Canada had a pretty serious health care program, but when did you start providing prosthetics for bears?

I for one would really like to hear that story.

Yup there's a lot of action up that way. No more mushroom shots for you 411, you get too excited.

I'm guessing Saskamusher's Mom might have had a major blood loss if a puffball saved her. Puffballs that have gone to spoor can stop blood from flowing in a wound.

Although I haven't gone up after a sheep yet, a few young fellows went in a week early and hiked a ways back and returned with this full curl ram. Tight curls but a beautiful sheep

This is another grip that came in. A lot scruffier

Man that bear looks thin. Looks like a backbone and rib ripples.

ubetcha bushman that's exactly what happen to her we pick them green eat some and let some cure for medicine . ur trailcam pics are great do u leave them out year round

Sask - I move them around but always have a bunch out. I'd love to hear more about your traditional bush medicines. I've been lucky enough to have learned a bit from old friends. Cattail pollen and yarrow also good for stopping bleeding

Well I'll be. Never heard of that before. Very neat.

Ha, just looked close at that black bear picture. Sure does look like a prosthetic leg. Must be the light and the camera. Maybe Brian is a secret Wildlife Vet. New reality TV show in the making.

Nice looking sheep!
