The Great Migration

[moosinaround]

So up here in 7a we are seeing the yearly migration of the well known species Hunteris lowermainlandis common name southerners. They seem to take the same route every year hwy 97 N through PG, and on to points north. Most of the dominant males are in large camperized vehicles, followed along with trailers of atv's home made meat coolers, and there is usually a boat or flotation device attached. It is felt that these critters are friendly, and my experience with them has been favourable. Scientists have attached homing devices on these critters before, but they are cagy and the wherabouts of their movements are usually lost near the mackenzie junction, powder king areas. They feel it may have something to do with the mountainous terrain. My personal opinion is that they have some how figured out how to remove the device to protect their main hunting area. If these critters are encountered, please please treat as gentle creatures, but I repeat don't under any circumstances get between them and any of their prey, or beer. Moosin

This time of year it is easy to mistake Hunteris Lowermailandis with his northern counter part Slakjawdis Yockalis. Equally as gentle as the “southerners” he can be identified buy a lack of front teeth. He can be spotted transiting from trailer to hunting grounds every evening of the season in a rusted Chevy pick up. Many attempts to track this noble beast have been attempted (the most successful tracking device being a mock Bud beer can it the bed of his pick up) but the secrets of his highly successful hunting methods are still a mystery. Although a tame and gentle animal one should avoid approaching Slakjawdis Yockalis when he is stocking game or in the vicinity of his female cousins.:wink:

I'd never heard about such a foolish thing in all my life, nor even considered it happened. But I came to realize one time, and saw for myself that it's true. While stopped at the Safeway store in Quesnel some years back, the parking lot soon filled up with all manner of moving vehicle one morning. For a while I was baffled as to what this could possibly be about until I realized that the gathering of all these strange machines and oddly dressed, lumbering, unshaven, bleary-eyed men were in fact waiting for the opening of the government operated liquid refreshment store, which was located just next to the Safeway store. Out they'd come, loaded with boxes and bags, mill about for a time till they had carefully stashed their supply and then either stopping for fuel next door at the Chevron station, or not, proceed back out on to 97 and take off in the direction of Prince George. With all my hunting experience, I should have realized much sooner that watering holes are indeed good places to set up and wait for all species of wildlife to stop in!

Got my tags:D

[moosinaround]

I can identify with the species Slakjawdis Yockalis. You are correct in the favoured bait for us but really we like to shop local and drink PWB traditional lager. Moosin

[Elkhound]

I am offended and I am deleting the whole thread except for the part about the Slakjawdis Yockalis.:p

Too funny guys.

[browningboy]

LMAO, thats so true, you see it either way and defineatley see all types of set ups, I used to laugh as my wife said she could track us by our debit purchases from certain establishments on the way up!LOL This thread is so true!

[kishman]

uhumm.......Mooo Mooo Moooo

Here I come!

[willy442]

With the opening of moose just around the corner, the males with thier camperized vehicles and trailers of ,beer, quads, freezers, boats, generators, tarps and gas cans are starting to arrive as far north as Pink Mountain. The new Back Country Sporting Goods parking lot in Fort St John is the best place for viewing the assortment of gear and equipment it takes to harvest a bull moose. Damn: The meat must be GOOD!

AMEN BROTHER!!LOL

[plumbob]

I seen the first part of the migration today through PG trucks campers Quads and yes freezers.I think I'm just jelouse as I was working when I saw this.

[BCrams]

Yep .. its happening ... I counted over 40 rigs headed north when I drove to Williams Lake this morning.

[willy442]

The Swamp Donkeys are in trouble. Those headed for the Stewart Lake area, we will have heavy equipment and crews working in there so please be aware. The oil company has requested we post signs and close the back end access. However as long as hunters are resectful of the workers, we will leave it open.

Thanks

Keep it up and I promise you it WILL CLOSE LEGALLY for the safety of my employee's!

[elkster]

You can always tell the boys from the rock (rock-a-woolers), cause we all wear the stanfield gray woolens cause its so cold up thar!!. Also we buy our gas and liquids along the way, cause bc ferries don't allow gas cans on their boats, and we don't like to pack all that extra weight of liquid refreshmens due to the cost of gas. If we could only harness the natural gas happening in the trucks on the way up, we could save a ton of money.l

Hey willy and rubicon, way to take the light humor that this thread was supposed to show out of it! Moosin

The light humor is great and part of why I took the side of hunters in our prejob safety meetings. I requested that we only post signs of workers in the area please be careful, instead of posting the area as non hunting like the brass out of Calgary was requesting (remember they own the road). I wish every one hunting the area ( some of whom I spoke with today) the best of luck. This don't mean I have to tolerate a smart ass, set on ruining everyones opportunity.
