I don't know Bushman that looks like a classic suicide or some type of sick bear sexual fantasy to me...grizz is just an innocent bystander....prob didn't even know he was being filmed

So....the black bear commits suicide by hanging, and along comes Mr. Brownie to "take advantage" of it. Jeez. Do you guys, er, folks, have issues? I mean, really. Can it be THAT bad?
Of course there is North Carolina................... confused

While out looking for sharptail leks with my grandson and buddy we came upon a set of deer legs hanging. That deer must have suffered hung up in the fence waiting to die. Yup trapping is cruel.

drove through a sharpie lek turkey hunting about a week ago. One of the males ran over and attacked my tire. Fun to watch when a female wanders onto the lek. The males lose it.

I see a dark clob of something, but is un-identifiable by my sorry eyes. Those appear to be front legs?

I sat with an bushman today. I always listen for stories. 1936 out with his dad snaring spruce grouse or fools hens. Here's where the story gets real. Slim pole with snare on top slowly lowered over birds roosting in trees after being spooked up by dogs. His dad would slowly lower snare over birds ... And here's where it gets real. The snare didn't go around neck. You loaded it around body so wings were pinned then pulled down out of tree. A quick move to crush skull while holding wings so they wouldn't beat and scare off remaining birds. They use to fill grain sacks with birds. I get pumped when I hear real story like that

Attention to business has robbed me of some bush time but a man has to earn a living. But all is not lost as I can plan out my next treks. I'm heading north with my wife to celebrate our 25th anniversary on a fishing trip in June . What a good woman. Going to a spot my NWT buddy calls remote which means something. Jetboating up the McKenzie then up river to Blackwater Lake. Can't wait It's traditional territory for my amigo and I'm hoping he will share some knowledge and visit some old sites.




Not far from Great Bear Lake, another dream destination

I'm trying to get some hours on the boat before I head north this month. Had a good day on the water.





Tried a little pickerel fishing but too early, poplar fluff isn't flying yet.



Our area has some of the largest dinosaur bone sites in the world. Wonder what this is?




Someone has a sweet little cabin along the river.
