    cheers lenny, hows it going bud, are you any further down the line to moving over mate? i must admit....we prefer it here, more than Calgary, it's a lot calmer here, a slower pace of life, slower traffic, more scenic, and much more friendlier, we are looking towards the top of the island to live later on, but at the moment, we are seeing what life brings us here. not bad mate, been offered work in Alberta and trying to get a mate to go with me before bringing out the missus, il not give up ok bud.....keep us posted if/when anything happens.....

    cheers bud.....that's so true in what you are saying there Gaz, it was a brilliant feeling seeing my first black bear, the thing is Gaz....you know they're there, and when one finally shows itself, it's a memorable moment to keep.

    there's a salmon festival running this weekend, it comes around once a year, it's the Chinook salmon run, and top prize is $15,000 first place, when you catch a decent one and weigh it in, it's no longer yours, the event organizers have it, then smoke it on a twenty foot long smoker for you to buy for your dinner, it's a community volunteer run event, live music (does get payed) good atmosphere, and a good turn out,one guy is leading the event with a 53.2lb Chinook salmon, which was huge, he will probably win the whole event with this....

    Thank you Tilly, I use a canon 7d mkii but to be perfectly honest it's more about the lens/glass on the end of the camera body... Bit like a rifle scope or binos, the better quality the glass is the more superior the image, a little field craft being able to get close also goes a long long way cheers bud...thanks for that info, and thanks for sharing such brilliant pics.....
  19. tillylamp

    you might be better with a head lamp....(hands free walking the dogs) in which case, go on ebay and look for a suitable one with rechargeable batteries, (the batteries are ultra fire, BRC 18650, 4200mah, 3.7v li-ion) and a cree LED bulb/light, the one i got is high in lumens with flood/spot beam, sorry i can't give you a name on that one, as it doesn't have one and only says LED headlight on the strap, its got a good bright light, and a good distance beam, but if you need a hand torch.....iv'e got a night scout with the 60mm lense, again, flood/spot beam, rechargeable batteries, and a good lon

    this is a big one...caught last week.... The Sturgeon Whisperer hooks 600-lb. ‘dinosaur’ in Fraser River Nick McCabe, a 19-year-old fishing guide in Lillooet, B.C., hooked the 10-foot, 600-lb. white sturgeon — known for distinct flattened and pinkish nose said to be caused by an injury years ago. Nick McCabe, 19, was called the Sturgeon Whisperer long before he caught "Pig Nose," a 600-lb. white sturgeon that was reeled in on the Fraser River near Lillooet, B.C., last Monday.
