Very nice there Bud, That's a very nice buck with them fork tined tips. A whitetail hunters dream buck. I'd be looking for his antlers come spring.

Rocky Mountains and prairie. First pic is a partial shot of a very large tom cougar, left side of the screen. I knew he was in the the area as I have seen his tracks for the past two winters. Very disappointed in this camera as this was the only pic it took of him, there should have been two more of him out in full view. Next, a mule deer buck with a palminated antler on one side and a big spike opposite. White tail buck and a precious pic of a white fawn being affectionate with mom.

So true, when we had Trooper I told my wife, and you will likely think I'm crazy, that I wanted him to be part of the whole process so he knows that I am gone in this way and didn't abandom him. And I know with his intelligence he would know what happened and what was going on. He would have been very sad losing me as we loved each other to death, Dads Boy, but not as sad I don't think as I have been losing him, I don't know.

A nightmare is an understatement. Personally I would have gotten rid of that money pit long ago. My Fusion was covered by warranty but they would only cover a portion of the repair costs. They actually done me a favor otherwise I wouldn't have this Expedition which is much more practical for my outdoor activities and the places I go in and around the Rockies.

Thank you's I truly appreciate it.

Thanks Terry, yeah that's it. I couldn't get the title of the movie in my head to save my life. And yes my wife is a very seasoned angler, she'll put most men to shame. Of course she had a good teacher Haha. Thank you.

Howdy Rick, when you get a chance could you please post the name of that fly fishing movie you had mentioned on Netflix that was suitable for ones wife to also watch and enjoy. I can't find your previous post here on our old dinosaur computer. No rush. Thank you very much.

WOW! Unbelievable, unfrikin believable and beautiful.

Wow, never been anywhere like that Iggy. Any pics to share?

Glad you got such a good deal Smitty. The wheel that does the squeaking get's the grease.

Haha. A 6mm will take care of them, I've shot ground hogs at 350 yards and farther with mine. I'm anxious to take my 300 Weatherby mag out next time.

I sure will, and yes it was a steel of a deal LOL. He has more money than most people will ever see. He just wanted to see it go to a good home. We've actually become good friends.

It has been getting that way but still well worth the trip. Cruise is the way to go from Vancouver. There are a couple different ones. One goes straight up and back and another one detours around all the Islands etc. up the coast. Don't forget your rain gear and umbrella, depending on where you are it does rain a lot. You'll be glad you went. It truly is the last frontier.

Thanks Lew, I moved the cameras to a couple other promising spots, so if I can leave them alone long enough I should have quite a few more.

Hung a couple trail cams an hour S.E of town five days ago. A nice sun set with a chinook arch. It's a little dark to see the Rockies except for three peaks and if you look close a big mule deer doe in the lower left. Also a mule deer doe and fawn.

It isn't bad at all on gas, no worse than my last Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.9. Gas is the least of my concern as aside from heading out to my trail cams once a month I don't drive around much. Ya wanna play ya gotta pay right? LOL. I couldn't be happier with this thing in all aspects, and yes it is ohhh so comfortable, One could easily fall asleep in this thing. I do appreciate your insight on oil changes etc. and I am a firm believer in that (preventive medicine I call it) That's why my vehicles last so long. For several years I have used nothing but Royal Purple Synthetic and they have a top of the line engine flush. Bough my first car before I was old enough to get my drivers license, 55 years ago. A gorgeous 66 Chrysler Windsor. Wish I still had it.

I hope you do to Rizzo. It took me e few months for this one to come along but it was well worth the wait.

He's a disgrace to the sport we all love and enjoy so much.

That is who I was thinking of, man, can't believe I screwed up that bad. I think the old bugger should be keeping his feet on the ground.

HAHAHA, nope, not at all Lew, I promise to leave it out west here. I have a very good relationship with Environment Canada and all the local weather forecasters. If worse comes to worse I'll move back.

Here's what greeted me when I went outside this morning. Kinda pretty with the frost on the trees. Foggy and -26 with the wind chil.

Hey Lew, would you have room for a boarder? LOL.

Here's one for ya's, who remembers this guy? and he was likely the first to be on TV with hunting and fishing shows- Red Fisher, Scuttlebut lodge. I guided him a few times for Wild Turkey, Ring Neck Pheasant, Chukar and White Tail. It was a blast. He had quite a sense of humor.

Yes I agree those were the days. When I wasn't home to watch them I'd record them on the old VCR. Still have some tapes but no VCR LOL. Not that I didn't enjoy his shows but I'd forgotten about Hank, he also had a hunting show as well.
