We have turkey's and deer like that. You drive up on them on the machine, and they just continue as normal. You start getting off the machine, and ZOOM! they're gone!

When I park my Yamaha Kodiak to go off on a hike I like to leave a guard so no one messes with it while I'm gone............

I spotted this little moose on the side of the rd. one day run into a fence trying to get to it's mother on the other side.

I stopped jumped out and got this pic. as he was getting up.

When I loaded the pic. onto my puter I was surprised to see how his legs were tangled. The good news is he got untangled but I didn't wait around to see if he ever got over the fence to his mother.

I think I must have had spring fever because I ended up in Fort St John one Easter. This wasn't unusual for me because I traveled all over BC and Alberta working here and there a few mons. at different jobs eg. oil rigs ,pipe lines , construction. While there I met up with an Indian fella on crutches , we became friends and he asked me if I'd like to go trapping with him and his friends . I wasn't about to pass up and adventure.

Here's where we set up camp. The dog didn't belong to me but I was quick to make friends with him.
The boys here with a few beaver pelts.

They slept in the tent but I chose to sleep out side because the small wood stove smoked up the inside of the tent.
One day a moose wandered close to camp so as you can see we made quick work of butchering it. We kept 1 hind quarter took the rest to their family's.

The moose hide was going to be turned into a nice jacket for some one. The pelts that yr. turned out to be not worth getting at $5 to $10 each so we decided that was enough. I stayed another wk. or so visiting with them then they headed off for a fencing job and I headed to Alberta for a pipe line job.

Spring flowers starting to bloom. I don't know what these small purple flowers are (crocus?) but if you zoom in they're spreading all over the yard. They have a small bulb underground, I can't figure out why they spread.

Can't see the purple ones well enough to tell.

But overall, sure looks like a beautiful day.

The last rays of the setting sun highlight the Tobin Range tonight, background for the Clear Creek Ranch in Nevada. About 5 miles south of my house.
