On the way back we stopped at a local farm to eat. He had some interesting displays but no one spoke english. He had a Victor 0 trap!




I ordered the pork chop




But when they brought it... I didn't have the heart to kill it.

Costa Rica is a beautiful country Bushman. I spent two weeks there this time last year, and can't wait to go back! We saw quite a few different animals, and at night would go out in the jungle to find the different bugs, frogs and lizards. Enjoy!

I was here 10 years ago and checked out both Costa Rica and Nicaragua. But there's a lot of country to see. Hope to fish for tarpon while here.

Thanks Bushman, enjoy your trip. I was down in the same area of costa Rica a few years ago loved it there. There's a concrete water slide down the side of a mountain if you want some excitement.

I just finished reading all 51 pages of your recent sagas, and I must say thank you for sharing your seemingly charmed life with us. I realize that a lot of hard work goes in to all that you do, but I am thoroughly impressed by your adventures and the stunning beauty of your area. Thanks again for sharing!

I'm still in Costa Rica but heading home this week. I enjoyed the break but I do love my winters. Tragic news yesterday as my brother in law flipped his tractor on top of himself and was killed. Farm accidents can be killers so be safe out there.

Thoughts and prayers.


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

Jumping on a plane and heading back to Canada today. I'm ready for some snow but it's been way too warm at home.


Thanks for all the kind words re my brother in law. Les was a real Macgyver type of guy, which contributed to his death. He had built his own chains for his tractor and told my sister he was taking it out to test them in the snow. He flipped the tractor on a creek and it fell on him in the water. What can you say, life is a gift that can be taken in an instant. But as I read the outpouring of sympathy from friends and family I'm reminded that if you really want to know what people think of you, eavesdrop on your funeral. You'll find out what path you've laid behind you, never to be changed. In my brother-in-laws case it was a path of love and quiet dignity. Not a flashy guy but a solid loving family man.

Enough said on this topic but ironically i've told only you guys about his death. Strange how a forum can become part of your support network and allow you to both vent and heal. Thanks for listening

Tough news to bare my friend. Sorry for your families loss. Glad you could find support through your network of friends here and elsewhere. Quality has it way of shining through for those that possess it whether online or in person. You have always been a bright spot in this forum as I am sure you will be for your family at this time. Blessing to you and your family. Life is precious.

I'm finally getting back into the mountains tomorrow for a quick visit. Out to the camera's and re-up some bait. We have a 30 day film contract for BBC and hope to get a bunch of mountain species. Our wolverine documentary gets broadcast this week. My Partner is getting a lot of press which should boost ratings.
