Ah very nice spiel!!!!

Homemade bacon wrapped jalepeno poppers mmmm

Sald is nice too!!!

This is why most athletes train using HIIT cardio lol.

High intensity interval training

Poor kids

Yeah thats what yotes look like around here too chad

Thats for the pics

The only gunshots I would hear was when we lived in downtown Hamilton. We moved. I can't believe I lived there for 45 years. I heard gunshots this AM, no idea why maybe the local sheep farmer shoeing away Coy dogs.

In the bush its normal

Frig when i lived in grande prairie I almost got shot by some lil teen thugs comin home from work one day. Unreal

I parked on the road about a block away with the company truck cause a co worker lived nearbye.

Im walking home and two vehicle full of teens are squakin at each other. On opposite sides of the road.

I cross over to head home and im right in the middle of gunfire all of the sudden!

Lil punks.

I could hear at least 4 shots zoom right by my head.

Friggen crazy

Kids will be kids right? Lol

More gunshots

Must be aways away. Dogs arent flinching

Big dogs who only eat meat. I could never afford that, kudos to you on how you manage.

 

But, as you said, they hunt (with you and on their own), they probably help keep the local Deer, Rabbit, Skunk, Game bird, Badger, and Predator populations in check.

 

Cheers,

Mark

Yeah they eat deer but ive never seen them take one down. I save some from hunting for them or even pick up road kill.

They just killed and ate a badger not two months ago lol.

They love partidge they hunt on theyre own, rabbits too.

They eat fish carcasses whole and after that they get beef pork moose.

Slicks is really gnarly for eating skunk. She does it at least once a month. She never gets sprayed but it still stinks.

Cocoa is a little more reserved. She eats her kill slowly( slicks even eats lamprey without chewing yuck). Shes the smallest but the bravest.

Ivy is reserved, shes still learning. Like a typical siberian the eats for reserves. Shes still figuring things out(shes only a year old)

They eat like queens lol. All 3 are female.

Ivy is 100% siberian

Slicks is 100% malamute

Cocoa is slicks daughter, a mut. Her dads were rottweiler and golden retriever.

Friggen awesome dogs!!!

This is ivy our 1 year old siberian

This is our oldest girl slicks with my daughter. Shes the toughest of the bunch

Here is cocoa as a pup with my oldest daughter on the dock( sorry only pick I could find on my photobucket right now)

Almost nothing but tanks!

I fish right till freeze up.

It can be tough but some of the best walleye on the rivers come right around mid november!!!!

Hunting partidge is my favourite.

Been doing it almost as long as fishing?

Some of the best meat in the world IMO

Its just a tease too there are so many right in the back yard lol

Yep, apparently the water is "his".

 

S.

Some people are just jerks. Native or whatever.

Tomfoolery, thats why I mentioned earlier it would not surprise me if this guy contributes his own body to the ecosystem, via shotgun blast(not that I condone that)

Thanks tomfoolery, hit the nail on the head.

Gunshots now to the northeast. My guess is thats the wolves at a farm down the road.

6 shots as the sun goes down

Different strokes for different folks

Im a pepper fan as well and I am very jealous!!!!

My mouth waters just looking at them?

Ghost pepper is as gnarly as I have went and it was in a sauce for wings. I ate 12 and holy man!!!! Talk about heat! I asked about the sauce(chef is an old high school chum, and he said he only had 3 or 4 dimes in the pot.

That stuff is hot and it lasts along long time. At first I almost thought I was gonna suffocate lol.

We brought home 6 and left em on the counter for my uncle who came home drunk from the bar????

Ah i wish i woulda videotaped his reaction after 3 wings, priceless

A couple of my buddies were up there today goose hunting and said ths guy had no respect for them at all. He ran his boat 40 yds from their set up. They had to yell at the guy to back off. Speaks volumes to me!

 

S.

See this kinda thing drives me nuts.

Just because I have treaty rights doesnt mean I need to be rude to others on the water doing THEIR thing!

Goes both ways but sheesh, show some respect!!! To nature and your fellow man

Lol.

Well part of my original post wasnt true either after I reread it(it was late ya know lol)

My dog cocoa is not on a leash.

Shes the smallest one

So another aspect is if I dont let the other two go, shes dead for sure.

Why is she not chained up you might ask?

Cause like davey said, im crazy lol

Seriously though if she doesnt warn us the wolves would easily kill two of our dogs if they are both chained up

Dave buoy, i understand your concern.

But this is the country and if my dogs dont guard the property the wolves stay.

This is where my kids play

I would not send them out if I didnt trust them 1000%.

Theyve done it for years

I will not shoot them because I have no use for them, thats against my beliefs.

My dogs kill one they move on, id rather that then shoot 5 wolves that I have zero use for.

I know many of you might not get it, thats fine, they are not your dogs and this is not your property

I started the thread so its fine to voice your opinions?

And thats not just directed at you davey thats for everyone?

I love dogs and I love that they(my dogs) have purpose. There not just pretty lapdogs(although they are awesome for that too lol)

Id also like to add, to the other husky owners. Our dogs are not average. They have hunted their whole lives. They eat wild game and meat only

They hunt with our family, and they hunt on there own. They are perfectly capable

Just dont break into my house cause they will lick you to death???

They dont protect the inside of the house worth a lick lol

I guess coyotes are brush wolves and ive got it all wrong.

Funny cause there is a noticeable size difference and colour difference but maybe what ive though were wolves really are coyotes???

Here is an image i took off google of what the animals look like

Honestly i think many of the wolves here are intermixed with dogs.

Scary looking things but only about 60 lbs or so

We call em brush wolves but they are not coyotes.

They are pure black and grey and abit bigger then a coyote, but MUCH smaller then a timber wolf.

And i will not shoot 4 or 5 wolves i have no use for, thats against my cultural beliefs.

OI I dont think youve ever seen wolves in action.

Ive posted numerous times on here about my dogs or my kids grandparents elk hounds taking out wolves, skunks, coyotes and even a badger.

The wolves encroach here because a few idiots leave their dogs chained up, and another idiot leaves snares in the bush for rabits and doesnt check them.

Wolves are opportunistic hunters

When it comes to my dogs they go right at one and make a point. The wolves arent fighters, they just wanna eat. So they get the point and move along.

Its not like two rival gangs meeting in an alley lol

I guess there is a abit of a shift in attitudes in the NW ontario bush lol.

Im not the only one with dogs guarding property. In fact its perfectly normal here so sorry if I offended anyone.

Im not michael vick lol

My dogs have a job to do and they do it very well?

Dogs are perfectly fine?

Brush wolves RC

And you might not understand, but my dogs protect our property. Im not just letting them chase animals all over the bush for sport.

I have kids to protect on this property, and if my dogs dont chase them off or pick one off they stick around and eat everyones pets(we are in the bush)

Even my dogs would easily be killed if chained up.

My dogs are smart. They pick one outta the pack and make an example, the rest move on.

No signs of wounds or anything this am. I dont even think they fought?

The wolves must have been on the other side of the river and they just had a shouting match

Battle is over....

I trust my dogs are eating well?

They can be proud of the kill too

Might have some dead wolves in the yard by tomorrow

Just ready for bed and our siberian goes nuts on the bed.

Take her out, the malumtes are going nuts too, begging to be let off.

So 130 am and I can hear at least 4 wolves, i think? They can be deceptive.

Dogs are off on the chase.

Sitting on the deck on a clear but cool night listening...

Interesting stuff(at least to me)

Sounds to me our 3 huskies are taking them out, yet again.

Hopefully no war wounds and they return safe

God I love these dogs?
