Rest in peace, great picture.....

Sorrowful but sweet. A new beginning for her.

Ryan was totally old school hauling his Polaris in plywood scow. Best thing I ever seen him do was the time him an Bo Boy hauled a 3 bull caribou across Canoe Lake in a kids plastic boat.

I had pictures of that but can't find them. Those little boats can sure take a load!

Caribou hunting with my Dad! I think its been 3 years?

I bought him a stock from a gun show and a leupold rifleman for his ol' trusty 25-06 so it'll be nice to see him out on the hills this weekend. One of the rare times where I'm okay with not shooting, just going along as a butcher/camera guy. Hopefully put some pictures up after the hunt. Might have time to squeeze in a sheep hunt. If I get a sheep over 170 then its going to be sent out for a shoulder mount. Ive said it before that the world record lives at BLACK MOUNTAIN.

My Dad and I got 3 young bull caribou on Saturday. We seen about 30 caribou but no big bulls. The next day my brother in law Ray and I tried another hunt but his machine only made it 2-3 hills back before blowing a piston due to water in the gas. I was able to easily tow him back to the lake just in time to see my cousin Butterhead getting ready to head up so I topped off the 550 tank and went off hunting. We seen about 250 caribou all together including a single big bull with no velvet. I shot this guy right away as the boys checked over the next hill for more big bulls. No more big bulls to be seen but Freddie shot a good young bull. As it started getting dark we spotted a bunch of 7-8 with 4 fat young bulls so we went over and I shot 1, Butterhead shot one and our third partner Kyle who didn't have any up to this point got his sled load of 2 caribou. That's 8 caribou put away for me this fall. Some of my Aunt's have room in their freezers though and my Moms willing to buy another freezer, so if they help with gas I will hunt for them now and also look for a bull moose before we get too far into September. I felt bad for Ray not making it to the caribou so I gave him and my sister the young bull for which Kim gave me a couple bags of cranberries she picked that day. Good trade as I like cranberry muffins.

Great stuff

Ryan do you have plenty of snow for the sled now ?

Some snow in the mountains but for the most part no snow yet.

I heard you had some big adventure this weekend, tracks busting, Renagades running in reverse only, people lost in pea soup fog! Really Rescue Ryan to the rescue. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures.

My wiring harness starting burning, Renegade was stuck in reverse, Freddy's track ripped right off crossing a small swamp. We weren't lost though. Got the Beaver House Trail 3D mapped in my head now. Devon drove right by us in the fog though and Freddy had to go and chase him down.

Whoaw, no end to the adventure. Me I went up John Cross Creek with boat from Uviavialuk Nellie and Dez followed in there boat. We made it way up but just when we started seeing caribou on top the creek got too narrow and willows went right across. The creek was going the opposite way of the caribou anyways. Fun turning around with Kingfisher in that narrow creek with the mountain current.
Jonas never made it down below we went as far as Beaver House with him by Moose River but sand bar all the way across.

If anybody is heading to Beaver House again tell them to grab my thick white rope beside the boat landing trail.

Yup will do that. Took tomorrow and Wednesday off going to pick cranberries.

Ive been wishing I took more pictures this fall but, despite carrying a gopro, I have no fall hunting pictures or video of this years hunting. I thought Id put up a couple from when I was busy with fur this off season though. Most of the furs are not brushed out in the pictures.

Not many berries but did see two moose. Perfect hunting situation. I was above them had a noise creek to cover sound good wind and called them right into range with the berry picker. Young bull and a cow. But not much of a moose eater so took some video and eventually the sun flashed off my phone and they bolted.

Morgan sophia mcleod turned 7 yesterday and Bobby Ryan mcleod turned 3 today. I'm away on field work so it's the first time I've ever missed my kids birthdays. Missing my 3 babies right now.

Yup tough times, your missing out on rabbit and mallard hunting also.

Come on muskrat! You know I'll catch up to you in one trip.
