Hey HH, What a beautiful smile, I wish my teeth were that white LOL. Great Pyrenees have more teeth than any other dog and can open their mouth wider than any other dog. -

Hey Dan, we had two cockatiels that lived well into their twenty's. They would start singing as soon as they heard Mom get up in the morning and at certain songs on the radio. The rest of the time they would just scream, drove me nuts. -
In regards to Porkpie's post and light fingered people a couple weeks ago there was an article on the news that someone had stolen 35 trail cams belonging the the Wild Horse Society of Alberta. Thank fully the RCMP caught the bugger and got most of the trail cams back to them. Man, that's a lot of cameras. They claimed it ran into the thousands of dollars that was spent on them.

Good morning Doug, I agree with everything you mentioned there. These pics were taken with a Bushnell (obviously) that I used for the first time and I couldn't be happier with the clarity and color. I swear by Bushnell. My cameras are an hour and a half drive one way so I only check them and replace the card once a month or so. I prefer stills over video as well as even though Bushnell have an awesome battery saver videos sure take up a lot more battery power. I keep them out there year round with the exception of last yeas as a forest fire was threatening the area so I retrieved them and never got them back out. I can't remember the make of my first one it was one of them big cumbersome buggers that took the big batteries. The anticipation killed me wondering what was on it. I wanted to check it the next day LOL. I left it out for 45 days, came home plugged the card into the computer and it only took three pics, of me walking away from it. The batteries died. They were brand new but I guess they must have sat on the store shelf for ages. I'll tell you what, it was very disappointing. - Barry.

When I was a kid there was a woman that give me twenty five cents for every sucker and carp I caught for her cats. You hit the nail right on the head misfish I'm dying for a big scoff of smelt.

These are Pontiac's, big potato flavor. I've been growing them for over forty years. This year I'm finally planting Idaho (russets) They are very versatile and make especially tasty and crispy fries. The blade on the clever is nine inches long. Would have made too much sense to put a tape measure next to the spud, too late smart as usual LOL.

I've been doing it a long time especially tomato's. It's my valium. I've never grown jalapeno peppers, I grow other's but never thought of them. I get three and a half pound tomato's every year. And lots of blue ribbons at fall fairs. I used to grow enough (over 200 plants) when I was a kid to supply three grocery stores and also sold them out of a booth. Every cent of it went towards fishing tackle. I actually made pretty good money for a kid not even in his teens yet. LOL.
-
Very nice. I'd be lost without my tomato plants. Once they start ripening it's pretty much all I eat. Lots of canning as well. This is going to sound a little far fetched, about four years ago I was quite a bit over weight as usual, I started eating my tomato's and toast, slice of cheese, mayo and salt and pepper of course and started losing weight. I lost 60lbs and have kept it off to this day. I went from right around 219lb down to 155. Doesn't make a darn bit of sense but it happened. LOL.

I had a heading typed onto the top of this photo but when I go to email it or post it somewhere the heading is no longer there. Any way this one should have read DON'T P%&& me off !!! and you can see why it was so fitting with his muscular size, facial expression and facial scars I call him a power house as that's exactly what he is. ( the scars were prior from me rescuing him)

Hopefully these pic will help relieve some of the winter blues some of you may be going through.

No Dan you are not nuts, My Trooper will watch tv for hours and if he isn't you can be sure he' listening for a particular commercial and alot of times just go ballistic wanting to get at that critter he is seeing. We had to mount the tv up on the wall but the big bugger can still reach it. He's so smart as he looks behind the tv to see if the action is outside as the tv is mounted next to some big bay windows. We had another dog that would charge the tv screen so hard that he left teeth marks on the screen, you could see them and feel them, they were surprisingly deep, and that was an old school picture tube tv. As soon as the song came on the tv - who let the dog's out, well lookout, that was his favorite, or most unfavorite. It drove him nuts. There were times he hit the tv so hard he practically knocked himself out, poor bugger. -
Howdy Freshtrax. I love them, it's hard to pick a favorite as they are all so awesome. Hopefully, I will have my cameras into cougar, wolf, grizzly, elk etc. country around the end of May, or mid June as the highway is closed during the winter so the animals can come down off the mountains away from the really deep snow and graze and feed in the valleys below near the road undisturbed by people. Money permitting with the price of gas and all. not that I'm complaining but it's a long trip but a nice one. I've been in this area before while hunting, Where I have in mind is just shy of 50km from any back road that you can traverse with a truck. Have Argo will travel, LOL. So it won't likely be until near the end of June before I get back out there to retrieve and replace the memory cards, In the mean time keep a watch for the pics I will post near the end of May, Ya never know, I may get a burr under my butt and go sooner. I'm not expecting alot of traffic where I placed them just yesterday but what I do capture on film should be worth a look. I have never hung my cameras in this area here but I know from the tracks that there are some very big critters using this trail. Some unexplainable tracks to some people but not to me. Stay tuned, Same channel. Cheers. - Barry, aka - Bearcat.

Hey Head Hunter, great suggestion, thank you, and of course thanks to all that posted pics of their four legged friends. I really enjoyed them. I love dogs more than life itself. Here's my boy Trooper. He loves watching tv when I am upstairs on the computer. Not just any show, it has to have animals of course, and a couple collages. My best friend on the planet. -
Well not much on the cameras this time as I didnt expect there would be as there is about two feet of snow where I want to and usually put them and I dont have tracks for my Argo. But anyway here is a couple. Pine marten checking out the tennis ball, etc.

Yeah I know Smitty.

I just received this last night. I realize this has nothing to do with fishing and I was not going to post this but I just had to as some of you I am sure can relate. As far as I am concerned there never will be a cooler generation with the fun we had and all the things we experienced. NEVER.

I get bored easy. I'm sure I'm not alone. Here's a couple of my novelty projects.

If nothing else Lew with all that moisture it should be a good morel season.

It's actually kinda cute what she typed in but she didn't finish it. Unfortunately she has mental health disorders in some areas. She's grandpa's little sweet heart and loves to spend time with me especially fishing.
-
Hey HH, yes he is. I rescued him form very abusive people. We love each other to death. I'm glad to hear yours is just as affectionate.

I love that photo. She's beautiful. I recognized the lab right away. Yellow lab? Just by her facial expression and body posture she appears to be be one that likes be on the go. It can be frustrating at times when they are nuts but ya still gotta love them for it. She could pass for a sister of our last one which was half yellow lab. Well her I go again can't get the pics. I'll keep working on it.

Sorry Guy's, my grand daughter has been on here playing around and posting stuff and I can't figure out how to delete it.

I do remember you mentioning this before Smitty, and I appreciated it then and I appreciate it now. All my pics are from a sd card best money can buy. I done a few tests and I can put any other pics on the forum. I can email them to my friends, myself but I can't get them on the forum so??? I checked out imgur and they want money that I don't have and being so computer illiterate I wouldn't know how to do it. So I don't know, I'm buffalowed.

Hi everyone, this is what my grampa looks like when he goes to the bush. I call him the little sasquatch. I was scare to go at first but he always said stay close to me and you will be safe. and I was. He might want to

I was able to recover some of my pics, not all them but some. They suck though as my computer again wouldn't let me post them on the forum so I had to pull them up on the monitor and take a pic of them, import them into a file then move them to another file in order to post them. So they are grainy. not very clear and the color is washed out, so yeah they suck but here are a few anyway. The first one is a wild horse, coyote of course, then my favorite little buddy came to pay a visit - the very elusive Pine Marten. Unfortunately I only have a head shot of the lynx in the daylight, and I certainly didn't expect to see a skunk way back here sixty miles from any human dwelling or settlement. Anyway I've been at this all day and my little buddy has had to listen to me cussing throughout it all so it's now nap time LOL.

You're welcome Lew, always a pleasure.
