Awesome view of your house Brian

That is good to get some positive light on trappers Brian. Kudos.

I was at the Alberta Trapper Rendevous last weekend. Sold out event over 500 in attendance. Lots of fires this year. Got a shot of water bomber lifting off

We're getting lots of smoke from there and Saskatchewan here in Montana. Thanks for spreading the good mojo of trappers!

Finally caught up on some business so I can finally get out of town. Wife and I are heading to the mountains for a couple of weeks in the morning

Weather is nice up in the mountains right now. I'm building a corral for our horses. They sure love their smudge

Brian looks like you need to do a bit of work on your trap cabin before fall.

I'm a carpenter Ron but even I know when I'm beat. Along the Kakwa River part of the aboriginal population kicked out when Jasper park formed

Bad bugs Brian ? We have NONE this year !

Bugs were bad at first but once grass was down much better.

Why no bugs something to do with all the smoke and fire?

Seems to be a good crop of sheep up in the high country but goat population is down. Lots of increased grizzly and cougar predation these days

Major caribou migratory route through this pass



a welcome site to a sheep hunter, about 50% ratio ewes / lambs



The white speck is some idiots jeep, he rolled trying to climb the ridge. And no there are no roads to this location so he bushwhacked

I had my friend do a carving of my old trapline cabin and my dog

Very talented friend Bush. Luv it.

I put up a zip line out at my cabin and my grandkids just love it More unplugged fun

I had a Northern Flicker nest by the cabin. There were two chicks in the cavity, one much larger than the other. I was surprised that they were still in the nest but over the course of a couple days the parents coaxed the chicks out of the nest for good. Pretty noisy process

Bear didn't like my trail cam. Bit right through the lens and wrecked cam

There's a cure for that.I've been using steel security boxes by camlockbox.com for several years on my Bushnells and have yet to get any damage.I just deal with black bears but before the boxes,I had several cameras trashed.I just get the standard weight ones but they have heavier weight ones as well.I haven't seen any evidence that they have even tried to bite the steel.

I just finished reading all 44 pages of this thread. Great stuff bushman. Very envious of your life style. I hope we get the wolverine documentary here in PA and look forward to your future adventures. Great stuff!
