Yeah. Found scat from what looked like a family set (sow and 2
cubs) last august. Lots of moose....looked like a convention.
Buncha grouse too....look like quail on serious steroids.

Well, watch out for the bears. You should always attach small bells to your clothes and carry pepper spray to scare them off.

You should also learn how to identify the various types of bear droppings.

Young bears leave fist size pellets that contain undigested leaves etc.


Where as the droppings from older bears smell of pepper, and have small bells in them.




Ah, an oldie but goodie.

[DerFarm]

button} yeah, don't worry, I'll be careful {beginning to think of
the prospects that were passed up in Bali} Thunder Bay huh

{Frantically pulls out map to find that Thunder Bay is roughly
17000 miles from englehart}

No Problemo

If you just went 1 or 2 cities down from North Bay you'd find the temperature more like -3 or -4.
