A few years ago AlienGear had a deal on that auction site--$5 holsters. I only bought one because I thought it was a mistake, it wasn't, just promoting the brand I guess. Very comfortable concealed carry.

Wolf hunting today up by Priest lake. Cut cougar, moose, elk, deer tracks. Found some bigger canine tracks of one animal but then cut some boot tracks close by. Probably Fido…. The Tamarack are all yellow and dropping needles fast. Very beautiful up there. Lots of snow in the Cedar crick bottoms. The south facing slopes had melted off a bit. One road had a blade working it as they had a logging job up there. On the way back to Priest river we passed a Bison behind a fence.

Another afternoon trip, this time with my oldest son, Steve. We chose today, as an "atmospheric river" (read that as Biblical downpour) is forecast for tonight through Monday. We went a bit further north and east from Mission this time, getting about 40 km off pavement before heading home just at dark. Steve brought his new mountain bike, so I turned him loose at the top of a long winding downhill stretch, and followed him down in the H3. He averaged about 33km/h (21 mph), and found the suspension a little too stiff for the potholed gravel; he vibrated for 1/2 hour after the ride, lol. We saw no game or sign at all, and the only other truck out there was parked overlooking a huge clearcut at the end of the trail, so we turned around there to leave him to hunt in peace. Several km down from there, the road crosses a creek that I mentioned to Steve looked like a possible placer area, due to the mineralization in the nearby road cuts, so we stopped so he could shovel some gravel from behind a large boulder, to take home and test pan. I'll let you know if we strike it rich!
