Great thread Jeff, always enjoy your posts and pictures. Honey bees have always fascinated me. Stupid city will not allow me to have bees but from my back yard it is only a stones throw to the little farm my nephew rents and a bee keeper has 20 hives there. It's like 200 yards away. There reasoning is they may annoy or frighten the neighbors. Guess they don't know that those bees on the farm may fly all over town up to 3 Km away. Couple of orchards right in town also have bee keepers place hives. Did not see any goose feet or beaks in that dinner shot.  Thanks Ron. You would be surprised at how many people would let you keep bees on their property for the pollination benefits. So you might try that rout if you want to keep some hives. Be warned its addicting just like trapping.

MT That's my hunting buddy Junior in the video. And yes It took a while to find the right fat cow. You know how when your looking for a bull and all you see is cows...well that works the other way too. The cow in the video was with a 60" bull and three other cows. I picked the fattest looking cow.
That's a Remington 7400. Been using my Ruger 7 mm mag recently, but the 7400 shoots pretty sweet.
I went in a few directions, across and down river,and about 5 miles in the sloughs, I only have a 40 horse so don't go too far.
And I agree White, A big fat bull early is hard to beat. After the 16th forget it.
I have not ate a piece of bull in three or four years, and no regrets at all. Have not been the forum in a while and just saw this thread. Jeff has it right re. early bulls and cows are the best. It is all about fat - no fat no not so good. Mentioned on another thread before we save fat from the cows to mix with the lean bull meat if we get a bull for mince meat. We dry some meat too. Rutting and later bulls no fat; we are taking a year 3 community moose and 1 or 2 personal moose for our extended family and friends and try to get cows in the winter mostly. Saw the comments re. the mattak (muktuk) also - not fussy about cooked stuff; rather have it raw.

Perhaps you could cover the whole hive with snow, for insulation ? Then you couldn't check on them though.

They get solar gain from the black painted hives. The front feels warm on a +20 day if the sun is out. Helps quite a bit in my opinion. They face south and the sun don't get too high in winter, so they stay to the front of the hive. In summer we will have overhead sun all day and most of the night. so it don't matter much. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/PbzOOgz.jpg)
