    My Gramps had an old photo in his collection it was taken at the head end of Pitt Lake, and was of a very rusted up old double shotgun he said it looked to be an 8 ga. It was wedged in the crotch of a tree and the tree had grown around it.It wasn't evident from the pic but he said he could make out bits of wire, the gun had been wired there pointing down an old trail. He and his partner camped near for 2 days and searched the area but found no other signs of humans.It sets the skin on the back of my neck to prickel even today when following an old trail. I am not sure what happend to the pic I will have to go thru the old family photos 1 day.

    A friend whilst hunting with me in the uk, found a stone age arrow head in a farmers wheat field !
    we later found out this was a very common find in the area !
    I had spent many nights in the jungle looking for game,but this was the first time I had ever spent the night looking for a man eater.

    Out on a elk archery hunt with a buddy. Tracking the bull he hit and noticed what looked like a huge mushroom partially exposed off the trail. Picked it up on my way back down. A complete intact black bear skull with large canine bit marks over the top of the skull into the eye sockets...I assumed that I found a grizzly killed black bear. Going to clean it up a bit more and place it on my bookshelf in the man cave.

    Sitting on a rock outcropping over looking a beautiful valley, I was glassing and eating a sandwich. Dropped the sammy and it landed at my feet in some white powder. Thought the powder was fine rock debris from erosion. Dusted of the sammy and finished it yum yum. some time later, as glassing was unproductive I started looking around the rocks and noticed what I thought was a dog license. Picked it up and read the inscription "ALBERTA CREMATORIAM" ya you do the math.
