Sam;
Good evening to you sir, thanks for the reply. Yes for sure it's cooling off all over the west it seems. I'll be finding some big chunks of larch or Doug fir for the wood stove tonight.
Since we're not sticking to any particular theme here - and by the way I'm enjoying that immensely - I'll offer a few photos from here and there.
We were caught in a real goose drowner of a rain storm out hunting. On the way down the mountain we encountered this creek coming off a cattle/game trail beside the log haul road.
First big game animal I shot which they called a kongoni. It was in Kenya near the Rift Valley on Dec 30, 1975. Long story how it was we got there, not all of it good but anyway there we were.
This was '87 I believe and was my first old whitetail. The sharp eyed will recognize the blue Toyota from the sheep photo.
Somewhere in the early '90's we went up to what was then the Queen Charlotte Islands, now called Haida Gwaii. The weather was fabulous, fishing not that great but we did bring back a Sitka Blacktail. Sorry for the grainy scan.
My late father on the last hunting trip he was able to accompany me on. This was about 2000 I want to say and he passed in the spring of '03.
If this one fits in, it's the first mulie buck Dad took after a hiatus from hunting for about a decade. We'd moved to BC and I convinced him to come out on the local mountains with me.
Thanks to all once again, it's a fine thing you've all contributed to.
Keep warm all.
Dwayne
