Great pics!

We don’t have alla that in MS.

Your on a Roll T Man! That 1st grizz pic. Was that an old bear? Iv heard the older bears have white Claws.

Whoa,

Ottis is going greyer n you, old man !

Tell him, the girls say hi !

Sure was. The biologist who checked him in guessed him at his upper teens to lower 20’s. I never did get an official age but they took a premolar to do so, so I should ask about it.

I have never heard that older bears have white claws, but I guess it could be so. He did have significantly longer claws than the 4-5 year old bears that I have killed, such as that 2nd bear pic as well as the one I got this past year.

Always something to learn….

I absolutely screwed the pooch this day. Had a black wolf respond to my calling but I kept waiting for a better shot. The wind swirled and that was that. This was the 2nd time I ‘almost’ got a wolf at this same spot.



I have a habit of making rookie mistakes on wolves. I did it this year on a white one. I was glassing a basin with my rifle was strapped to my pack 20 yards behind me when a white wolf appeared out of nowhere, 80 yards away. STUPID!


Found someone’s mining claim on my trapline. This thing had been there for a long time, and lived through at least one fire. The claim paperwork was sun degraded and very brittle. Best I could tell, it was from the 40s.



Missed this nice lynx. He pushed my guide stick out of the way and went between it and my snare, the dirty bugger. I never did catch him.


This was a fun hunt, in the Talkeetnas. Had bear issues, as per usual.

Good advice, to let sleeping dogs lie !

Luv the puppies!

An uncomfortable bench

Jules and The Duke

Enjoyed my Seattle layover.

Nice high dessert buck. I saw one like that out by China Hat a long long time ago.

I've been hunting deer for 45 years and this is my first 12 point. Not a huge rack, but a lot of points for my neck of the woods.

Not mine.

White Claws? I think those are usually associated with cougars...

White Claws are for more than cougars. High school chicks dig them too. They’re my go to for dry spells.

Bump.

Kahtoola LEVA gaiters on their maiden voyage. To their credit they sent me a new pair which proceeded to be just as short lived.



Hounds making noise. Music to my ears…


Sag River grayling. About as big as they get, anywhere.


Wyoming golden trout at 12,000 feet and 10 miles in. Love the Winds.

Nice! Congrats!
