There's at least a 3 FSR's near Vernon where I've seen dog walkers/sitters (what ever they're called)taking large groups of dogs for walks/runs up the mountain after parking at bottom or halfway up the mountain.Looks like is a business or job for them .They have the decal on their vehicle.......so it's not just random?

entrepreneurs scratching out a living. Usually under close control because they belong to someone else. Have had a chat with a couple, reminding them there may be hunting and trapping going on in the area.
Then around the corner, safely fire off a round for effect ).

Thanks! To clarify, those last 3 photos aren't my deer but memorable hunts I was a part of. These were only a handful of hunting photos that I grabbed off my phone. I have been out a time or 2 over the last 37 years that I've had a licence.

A good dog story from a couple winter's ago. Was coming down an FSR in a work truck and came around a corner to see a dog running down the rd in our direction. As it got closer I realized it wasn't a dog but was actually a huge wolf. I stopped the truck and fumbled to get my camera as the wolf ran straight for the truck. When he got to just before the bumper, he turned and ran up the bank on the high side of the road, passed the truck and came back down on the road just behind the truck. I howled several times to get him to stop so I could snap a photo but he was so focused on where he was going, he didn't even pause. He runs out of sight, so I jump back in the truck and my work partner is freaking out because that was his first wolf encounter. I put the truck in gear drive a little further, come around a corner and there is the rest of the pack. About 6 wolves running in all directions as I'm howling with my camera in hand. No photos captured. Cool experience though.
The next day driving down the same road in pretty much the same spot I come around the corner and a little dog is trotting down the road in front of the owner's car. I pull over and clear them and then signal to the lady to roll her window down. I tell her that if it was me, I wouldn't be walking my dog on this road because the pack of wolves that I saw yesterday right here would think a dog would be a good meal. She said, there are wolves here? I said yup, those are their tracks in the snow. She got out and grabbed the dog, put it in the car and thank me and drove off.

Why don't you "get a life" and non androgynous name to go with it.

"Are we susposed to quit working in the fall because some uptight hunter feels his rights are infringed upon" if you don't hunt why are you even commenting? I guess to stand up for your fur baby, how sweet...

So the question is, will coplin be an 'androgynous' pussy and log off and sign up under a new name and try to forget he ever started such a ridiculous thread, or will he be man enough to get back up and keep on fighting?
