Hunting Alberta’s Grey Wolf
Here he/she is Canis Lupus In the fall of 2018, I had the good luck to score a moose north of Spirit River, Alberta. The Outfitter was going to start offering wolf hunts as the beast is so plentiful and I was told they kill about 80% of the new born moose calves. The beast immediately went on my list of hunting trips that I had to make. First, a little research needed to be done. I was reminded that this animal is not your ordinary house dog, but a fierce animal that kills for sport. Here’s looking at you kid Hunting elk in north central Idaho and in Wyoming south of Yellowstone, some time ago, I had experienced what happens when wolves are turned loose in areas rich in elk. The elk disappear. If I was going to head north to hunt these animals, a little research needed to be done. Literature is readily
Another Idaho Elk
I can vouch for these products. Just used them on a hunting trip into the wilds of Alberta for wolf. Click on the pic and buy a pack of each. You will not regret it. Hank. 
Hunting The Wapiti
This was what I was after, but not that big. Notice the cape and the low slung belly. I did one of those years ago and my wife still reminds me that he was not the best eating. This animal was almost 600 yards when I got the picture. Many biologists believe the name “wapiti” (WAA-pi-tea) is a Shawnee Indian word meaning “white rump,” an appropriate description for the elk’s large rump patch. This is the animal I set out to hunt in eastern Idaho southwest of Yellowstone in Montana on October 8th. The reservation was made in mid January and at that time, it was hoped the weather would be tolerable. Two years ago a hunt was planned with outstanding results, and last year we hunted moose, and the weather could have not been better. This year the warnings went out for Montana, the Dakotas, and Wyoming for severe cold, high winds and lots of
The Grand Finale to the Adventure
The Isle of Skye On this day we had a full day of sightseeing with an excursion to the Isle of Skye, considered to be the loveliest of all the Scottish islands. The Isle of Skye is the largest and northernmost of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The island has been occupied since the Mesolithic period, and its history includes a time of Norse rule and a long period of domination by Clan MacLeod and Clan Donald. About a third of the residents were Gaelic speakers in 2001. The morning rides were exceptionally beautiful as the heather was just starting to bloom. The Heather was just starting to bloom. In the more mountainous areas it was really blooming. Highland Countryside We had lunch on our own in Skye and it was outstanding. Fish and chips with a side of slaw were outstanding. There was an enormous piece of cod and it
Twenty-one Days in Britain (The Finale +2)
The flag of Scotland We took the train from London Glasgow to join the next segment of this adventure. Now for senior citizens, like ourselves, this is a bit of an adventure in itself. The cab ride to the train station was uneventful, but the drivers do not take American money and the credit card system in the cab was not working. We just barely made the fare and left the driver a tip. We had bought the tickets in advance and all we had was a sheet of paper with some number on it. Entering the station there was a group of kiosks that seemed like the place where we should go. It was. Entering the numbers produced tickets just as we had ordered. Next step was to figure out where to go. Fortunately the station has people working there that must look for people like us who look totally lost. It is the
