Looks like ya had a pine marten pay s visit. I love them little guys. Nice black bear if I'm not mistaken looks like he just needs to grow a little more. Nice pics man.

Thanks Lew. I'm very dissapointed I didn't get to post the really nice ones and trying different things I lost them all even in my back up file. I've been doing this for many years. Some of my best shots ever were on that card from the past couple months. Next time I'm taking three cameras, trouble is there's over three feet of snow and I don't have tracks for my Argo in order to get back in to where I want to hang them. So now I am waiting for snow and ice to melt. A lot of times I go between 40 and 50 km back in. It's a nice trip.

Well after all my buggering about I lost all my other trail cam pics from last month but this one. The rest were much nicer during daylight hours. I'll have more at the end of May.

Thank you Akrisoner, I like how you put that. When I took this photo my wife and I were actually out looking to photograph and record grizzlies in Kananaskis Country Alberta. My wife actually spotted him first and got an awesome video while he came down off a hill which was more like a cliff right towards us. His silver tip guard hairs just rippled across his body with every step he took. It was truly a sight to behold. With the wind in our favor he didn't know we were there until he heard me taking pics of him with my 35mm Minolta. We're so close that on the video you can actually hear him ripping the grass and chewing it. Once he saw us he was gone like a shot. I ran after him hoping for another shot as my wife was screaming at me, don't you be chasing that bear. (hence my nick name Bearcat, LOL) I should have known better as they can out run a quarter horse for the first 100 yards. But I'm glad I did as I crested a hill I seen him stopped in a meadow a couple hundred yards out and was peaking around a tree at me thinking he was hid not realizing the rest of his body was exposed out the other side of the tree. It was funny but I can't find the photo. I have several more close ups of grizzlies but it will take a while to find them as my photos aren't very well organized on our computer and there's tens of thousand of them to go through. Sorry for such a long story. Thank you.

Well I was able to post this one so I think I now know what to do with the others. Delete them and start over. Good thing they are still on my camera memory card.

Here goes nothing. Well that's it. If I try one more time I am going to throw this computer out the window. If it would fit I would have flushed it down the toilet long before now but had I done that I would have been following right behind it out of my wife's grasp, LOL. In my personal opinion I feel the pics I am trying to post are worth a gander at. I'll try and find someone more computer literate than myself to help figure out what is wrong with it. I hazard to guess the price of a new one. Thanks very much for all the help you fellas offered. I NEED A DRINK, CHEERS.

Thanks Limeyangler. I have lots more but I can't post them. I will give it another try. I see lots of bobcats but lynx are much more elusive.

Nope.

I have a picture on the trail cam of a bush rabbit and a very lucky rabbit at that, it was checking out the bait just seconds before the lynx showed up.

Yeah I tried that Fisherman, Thank you, more times than I care to think about, yesterday as well. In the box above, sorry same box, it would say done but there was no pic. Then all of a sudden I got this one and then the fight was on again. I wish I had known it was going to work that one time I would have chosen one of the nicer ones. I was going through all them hoping to find a solution. Once you guys taught me how to post pics I've never had a problem. There was a time recently when I wasn't receiving any posts from the forum and Spiel corrected it for me which I am very grateful for as at my age most days it's my only form of entertainment. LOL.

Haha, yes,yes it is Misfish.

Oh well I won't be posting anymore pics, maybe you's don't want them any way. LOL. I have a couple more really nice ones but can get them to download onto the topic page.

Just a couple pics I thought I would post as not everyone has the opportunity to see these guys in the wild. These were from last month the camera wont let me change the year. I just swapped memory cards yesterday morning. I don't know what is wrong with my computer but could only send one pic and it took twenty minutes to do that.

It does appear to be a crack, and if so yes it is kaput, at least that part of it is. Sometimes they will run and seem fine for a while. But after time all that water in there is going to take its toll.

I believe you are absolutely right Ohiofisherman. It is one piece and to me that is obviously a crack.

I drive to the local - This was a promotion at Safeway years ago with this Mazda Miada. Upon my delivery of the Mazda they had me drive it up and down the aisles before tickets went on sale. I made sure the regional manager got a photo with the fish market sign in the back ground. LOL. (the scratches you see are not on the car. They are on the photo. It was brand new I personally picked it up at the factory and done the PDI myself)

Your creations and pride in workmanship are second to none. Beautiful.

It doesnt get any better than that. Awesome.

Further to - Not to come across as a smart a$& know it all but if you chose to do this yourself a pressure test will tell you where the water is getting in, this should be done carefully or you will wlnd up blowing seals that do not need replaced. I am sure I do not have to tell you obviously a fair bit of water has entered the leg to be that milky. I never thought of it before but there are likely some videos on Yutube but ya have to be careful there to.

Howdy Siwash, More often than not the water gets in through the prop shaft seal. Personally I would take it to a reputable marina or some one that has the knowledge etc. to do the job and they will or should also inspect the gears and bearings and put it through a pressure test in order to determine if you need any other seals replaced. I have seen it happen just from the screw. Good luck Bud.

They look awesome Spiel. Super idea, As I mentioned in a previous post and you are obviously no stranger to this, it all starts with the imagination. Another thing I like, chances are no two will be identical. Very Very nice Spiel.

Good going Limeyangler, they are fiesty little buggers and hard to beat when it comes to table fare. I enjoy your videos. Keep em coming.

Good for you Spiel. That is a very beautiful rod and reel combo it truly is and very practical, I love it. I would be very proud to be standing shoulder to shoulder amongst other anglers with it in my hands. It is so nice to see parents getting there youngsters into fishing. Thanks to old Pappy here my whole family including my Grand children and especially my wife are very much into it. I do not know about these days but back in the 80s fishing was the fastest growing outdoor sport in North America. Sadly in todays society it seems to have died off some what. I am sure your daughter will have many pleasurable hours reeling in lunkers with it. Thanks for sharing.

Holy smokes Limeyangler, did you ever get them into some nice ones. Good going. They had to have been very happy.
