I went up to the Ashlu area today and even though i got there late i was the only truck around so i picked a beautiful mountain and started my all day hike from the river all the way to close to the top. I started on a decommissioned fsr with a huge squamish ditch that keeps vehicles out, then veered off into the bush after finding a game trail and headed straight up. Right at the beginning i found a recently skinned fairly big deer. Why would someone leave the hide? Dont get excited, i didnt shoot anything today just a basic report here. i did however find many signs of both big deer and elk and only one coyote track. the deer sign were fresh. I could even smell them but i didnt see any. It was a perfect day for armed hiking anyway. Sad to see that polluters make it even way up to these areas. Why would someone hike up into the bush off the main path over 200m to dump a heavy plastic bag full of plastic pails and containers. Seems ludicrous. I took a few beer cans out but that is all i could manage.
On my drive out on the Squamish valley road just before it turns to pavement, there were two hunters walking the main road in the dark. One was kneeling near the ditch aiming across the road, looks like he was stalking something and scared the shite out of me because i only saw him last minute. the other was a native guy walking with his rifle near the reserve. there are all kinds up there reminds me of port alberni.
On a separate note, here is an interesting american report about trendy leftist hunters:
