Everything tastes twice so good out in the country cause you (usually) worked hard all day and breathed fresh air. Usually most peaceful sleep out like that, especially in tent cause you hear and generally sense it all better, listening to the wind and the waves (seasonal) and whatever wild stuff is out at night like owls and wolves. Generators, even the quiet ones, no thanks.

Caribou tongue? Often said if I had a caribou killed and God came down and told me I had to give it all to the poor people but could take 1 lb then would take the tongue. If God were in a more generous mood and told me take more then would take pocket knife and cut out brisket quick enough where it joins to the ribs. It is all about fat. Tongue almost pure fat usually and brisket lots of bone/cartilage together. Mamattusuak.

He started earlier than he mentioned though. I used to carry him to a walking line before he could walk. I would prop him up in the snow when we made catches.

That has to be a fun project and one that will bring back fine memories of past adventures.

Boiled Tongue and fried heart is something I look forward to after a good hunt. Fat ribs and brisket. Boiled bible. Some fried backstrap with fat. A roast rolled up in lace fat No other meals I’d rather have. 40 years old today fellas. Look like I’m 30 and work like I’m 20 yet so all good here. I consider myself very fortunate to grow another year older. No big plans for today. Just going to stay busy with the kids around the house and get a big rough skinned wolverine cleaned up and boarded.

Late start today but I’m taking off to pull one line today. Never likes pulling traps but it’s ok. Time to move on to other things. I’ll still probably run a wolf line for a few weeks though

Last of the marten and wolverine gear will be snapped tomorrow. It’s been a good season but a tiring one. I’ll finish up all my fur in the coming weeks and run a few wolf traps for something to look at. Starting to feel a little bit of heat from the sun in the afternoon so you know spring and a lot of hunting is coming up.

My own skidoo again. Now I can do anything I want and there won’t be
Much to slow me down. I have a long list of things I’ve been wanting to do and now I can do them.
