I'm glad to see these young guys/gals out hunting. With so many other things fulfilling their free time, it is hard to get them out enjoying outdoor activities. Congrats to the proud parents in planting the seed to hopefully continue the tradition of hunting to the next generation.

Eric, Thanks for posting the photo. Logan is still smiling (about his buck) and definitely hooked on hunting and the outdoors. It was truly a great experience.

Wished this guy would have walked by Becky instead of me!

Congrats on such a dandy!!! Very nice deer indeed!

Last weekend while approaching a FWP Game checking station I noticed a very unusual site. We saw 7 Cock pheasants running full speed across the road straight at the game checking station. One can only wonder what they were thinking. Were they checking in because they were game or were they checking to see if their buddies had been harvested? It was a Kodak moment for sure.

Have not seen a single MN pheasant this year - so went to see some friends in MT. Here's Becky with her dog. Had a few great days with warm, moist weather and lots of points!

What other States issue Tags for Wolves?

Just a few of the wolves killed this year with the Idaho wolf tag. Wish I could show you a few hundred more pictures. It is just amazing how big they are. Deer, elk, and livestock killing machines. The big question you have to ask yourself is why? These massive wolves are not the native wolf that lived in our area 100 years ago. There was a reason these things where exterminated nationwide. They sure do look cuddly and cute. I wonder if our city dwelling tree hugger society that never has left a city really understands the impact of these killing machines. I wonder if a Trantasaurus-Rex (sp?) was somewhere to be had that they would want to put them back in the wild.
















p.s. it’s just a matter of time before one of our granola loving green peace hikers goes out on a hike and runs into a pack of these killers and becomes part of the food chain. If you are going into the Blues, Cascades, or up above Spokane hiking, game scouting, mushroom hunting, or something else you better start carrying a side arm. Can you even imagine being out by yourself and having 8 to 12 of these monsters surround you! Think about what kind of appetite a dozen of these must have and remember they are the only predator in our nation that kills for fun along with for food. The amount of animals they take are just a partial portion of what they need to eat. When elk are calving they will kill the calves just for fun after they have had all they can eat and leave the rest to rot.

Sorry, those look quite a bit too big to be true to me. Besides, wolves take pride in their foul stink. Can't imagine hugging one!!

This is 2012 spring bear, the first hunt for the new pup.

[cubflier]

Bob,

That's the way to train the new pup. I'm afraid to ask about your old champ. Retired gracefully I hope.

And...Nice bear.

[Litecub]

Eider is doing well and retired from packing sheep but will still give the birds heck and train the new pup.
Thanks;
Bob
