    Backwoods reminded me I haven't hunted deer in a while
    This young guy has got a few moose though,.
    Back in the day, he could even pack them out.

    No
    Track from a sand bar way out on the Yetna River.

    The hide is from an early Spring bear,
    I sometimes wear it to Halloween parties & give "bear hugs " :)

    I wish I could come up there and hunt every year. That stuff looks like lots of fun.

    Yea
    lots of good memories :)

    Was going thru some old pictures,
    taking digital pics of them. Figured I'd share a couple for the hunters out there.

    Otter, coyotes & fox from my trapping days: (Got some marten, lynx & wolverine pics somewhere.)

    Yep !
    That's some of the memories that make me hunt where I can take the atv now.

    So young back then I'd heal up fast & forget the pain & do the same thing the next year LOL.
    Not any more .
    Now give me a small spike or forked horn, close to the atv, so much smaller & better eating :)
    The hunt & camping is the fun, pulling the trigger stops all the fun :zip:
    Hoping for others to do the shooting this year.

    Good luck, with any luck you'll still get to break a sweat this season.

    You nailed it there, Bogy! We've always said that when you "get one" the work starts.
    Back in the 80's, a couple of the old timers at camp would wear whistles around their necks...always said that if they heard a shot and then a whistle, they would go the other direction to get out of work!
