Great pics. Thanks for sharing.
Great photos Doug...sitting there patiently with your Kodak camera..or maybe kodiac"..lol
Really missed being out there this year...and yes folks there really are that many predators out there..no wonder the unglazed are struggling.
Thanks Doug

This pic is epic and also my desktop background...thanks Chilcotin Hillybilly
Predators take down what ever they can, taking down the old and sick is an urban myth. Predators have to eat 365 days per year, and they harvest wastefully and totally unregulated all year round for as long as they breathe...humans can't compete with them for efficiency of killing game animals.
Just stumbled on this thread. Epic pictures Chilcotin Hillbilly. Hoping to avoid that G Bear on my moose trip up there this year, he looks way to political! haha
^^^^ Yeah! Just saw the bump. They are great pics, especially the bear. Cougar's a close second.
