brings back a lot of memories we used to hunt in the besa nevis creek area about that time too. lots of caribou back then as well as moose. icy sidehills made interesting travel along the old road.

Bridger was it you we met back in 1972 that had them home made track units ???? ,they would go anywhere in the muskeg.

[bridger]

no that was a guy named mike ostryk. he made a couple of early atv/s we were the guys with the beer that froze inside our cheap sleeping bags it was so damn cold.

I got the same offer Wayne, if your in Langford call me and I'll scan your pictures before they get too yellow, and put them on a disk for you. Or when I'm racing at Saratoga next season, bring them to the track.

unfortunately atv's were invented and the resulting access is the reason you can't see 200 moose in there anymore plus the fact that the outfitter of the time kept close track of the wolf population. a side note-- i am not anti atv own four of them myself. but in the old days the only time you could access the nevis creek valley was in late november when thing froze up and the season was almost over. then you had to pretty well chain up all four tires and hope you could get your truck started in -30 weather. now there is no one doing predator management and access is pretty well open year around. no right or wrong just the way it is.

Not completely true.
