not much to it brian we pick them when there green and still growing set them in a cool dry place and they cure like a sponge if u get a cut u open it up pull out the spongey stuff inside and put it on the cut , it stops bleeding imidiately and disinfects the wound ,wrap it up and carry on . its nice if u can find lots about size of golf balls then generally one per wound .

We always did this as kids. Never thought nothing of it until I did it to a kid at school who fell on a piece of glass at recess. Her mother went off the deep end! LOL I was grade 3 at the time and was terrified of that woman for years. I never knew how crazy ignorance can make a person. It was the end of my playground paramedic career anyway!

We worked some nice river flats, some some decent elk sign but no action. While trying to bushwhack through one area we got into heavy willows and a lot of bear sign. Time to pick a different spot we figured, too thick to shoot a bow and too easy for a surprise bear encounter. No use asking for trouble.

A lot more bear encounters here in Alberta since our grizzly hunt was terminated. An outfitter friend was telling me about his party being harassed and stalked by one bear for several days. His sheep hunter was so unravelled he wanted to terminate the hunt, they changed locations instead. My buddy tells me if he had been alone he'd have killed the bear and disposed of it. It's all good for the government to put restrictions on the hunt but they don't have to deal with the consequences of a smart predator that's figured out they're no longer in danger of being shot by man. Doubt we'll ever see the hunt restored.

My wife and I headed out and started putting our hunt camp together. Hauled and stashed our gear and through up a frame for our tarps. Dug fire pit and built outhouse.









Saw a decent buck and had a cougar run across the trail. Took five grouse. On the way home came upon this grizzly feeding. Looks like about a three year old bear

Ya it is bad news when the predators know they are the top of the food chain again. ;0) Have fun and be careful.

The hunt continues. Saw a few cow elk but no bull yet. Decent sign so we'll see what the week brings

Good luck to you on your elk hunt! Me and my son are heading out on our elk hunt tomorrow.

Back in town for a couple days before heading out hunting to a new location. Lots of elk action so far but no kill yet. On opening day of rifle I called in a great bull only to have my dog come running in while i was working it. My wife decided to let her off the leash in camp which was over a mile away. Oh well that's hunting. A late rut this season it seems. Lots and lots of bears as we saw some every day. My grandkids came out for the weekend which was a blast, but noisy. I'm taking my jet boat out for this next hunt.

The fleet arrives at our river hunt camp



Only to discover that the cabin had sustained an injury



good thing my son and I are carpenters



We did manage to get some hunting in. My buddy called this bull over 800 yards down along the river bank. An easy pack to the boats



I really enjoyed the new boat

Good idea to cut all the leaners and chicots around a camp.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

got warm here today but freezes at night. Heading upriver tomorrow for a day trip. Not my camp Boco but I hear you. Cut them when they're small is best

I have a friend up from Mexico hunting with me. He's finding it "brisk"






The river gets interesting in spots.
