I got over to the same mountain that I was at last weekend, for a 2 day deer hunt with an old friend. The only buck we saw was a spike, not legal to shoot, and at about 10:30 today a blizzard rolled in, and after a couple of hours, it was clear that we had to get out while we still could. Camp was at 6,600', and the road out is steep. So here's my first snow shot of the year, and a couple of others

An excellent example of wildlife doing something that common lore says doesn't happen. Quite a few people think sasquatch won't or can't climb trees due to their size. I just smile and politely go on my way. I guess people think that because they've lost their ability to climb a tree when they get to be an adult that sasquatch do too. As the video shows quite clearly, just because something is big doesn't mean that it lacks the ability or will to do something that we think they shouldn't be able to do. Timothy Treadwell comes to mind. Hubris leads to misfortune.

Sorry to hear of your troubles. I know what it’s like. When it rains, it’s Hurricane Flo. I’m not the killer I got you to imagine me as. For example, after all these years here in Alaska, I’ve still not killed a grizzly. I’ve backed up friends more than once, had close encounters with them, and have seen plenty of them. I just haven’t found “my” bear yet (came real close a few years ago.......). And Mrs. Huntster discourages me killing bears... ......black or brown. For most of my life I believed that to get official scientific recognition, and the only way to silence the skeptical morons, was to kill one. But I’ve come to despise the skeptics so much that I now want them (and the rest of society with them) to remain as ignorant as possible. Official recognition will likely be detrimental to them. Hell, I wish mankind didn’t know that I exist. I’m thinking about becoming an undocumented citizen.
