The rain let up enough to get in a road for grouse and rabbits and the group I took seen nothing but Bear scat, all over the roads that normally coyote scat laden. SnowWalker took out another new hunter to a different location and they managed to flush some grouse with no shot, because of the dense leaf cover.
GreatWhite got with his son out for some apprentice training and shooting - creating the next generations of hunters, I hope the young lad had fun. I could see and hear him shooting, but I didn't get to see them leave. John, it was great spending time around the fire with you.
Cool weekend at night which was great, couple of fires and always good food brought to the table. The coyotes are every present at night and the pack got close to camp Thurs night, enough for me to set off car alarm to scare them off.
Looks like it will be a good year.
Special thanks to SnowWalker and his wife for all the extra help around camp. Truly wonderful people to around.
