Same camp, up the drainage from our camp there was a airplane with the skeletons still in it.

Same camp, if you were observant you could spot airplane tails sticking out of the trees, again the skeletons were there to view.

Same camp, out air-service, dropped a note to inform us that a hunter to the east had wounded a grizzly bear and it was coming our way. Dumb [bleep] wounded the bear with a 243, while caribou hunting.

We did have a grizzly in our valley that killed another bear and all that was left was the skull. same for a nice caribou. And one of the best looking grizzly bears commanded the Moose i had shot. He had it covered with more dirt and rocks than one could imagine.


There is a whole bunch of baloney in your post. Parts of it might be true, most of it isn't. "airplane tails sticking out of the trees, again the skeletons were there to view." Sure there were. Multiple crashes, all with dead bodies abandoned there. laugh
