Yep looks like a color phase black, and agreed, not sure it would of ended as well with a grizzly with Cubs, still very brave of her though

Yep true, but i would bet there is a far larger % of the population here that hunts, (and owns trail cams etc) compared to the uk. On the flip side though, there is an awful lot more wild, remote areas here as well....

Picture is legit mate, Guys name is Steve Ecklund: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/steve-ecklund-cougar-alberta-1.4459546 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42447045 Edited to add the BBC link

I don't have an opinion either way on whether big cats are resident or not in the UK, but can say that over here where i hunt, there is a (supposedly) fairly large population of cougars (mountain lion). In the 9years i have been here, I have never seen one in the flesh, and no one i hunt with has, and some of those lads have hunted around there for 35 years. I have ran 4 game cameras on and off for the last 5 years and never had a photo of one either, and never seen one dead on the road. But they are around, the lads that hunt / tree them with dogs get them, the ranchers lose cattle to them,

Great photos KimE, looks very similar to here in Canada with spruce, birch, poplar and beavers, , amazing really when you are approx 6200km away as the crow flies (straight line).?

Fred is partly right, the z references the twist, you get s twist or z twists, depending if it is twisted to the left or the right.

Agree it's not a nice watch mate but cant put to much blame on the owner in my opinion, especially with no background to the vid. There is loads of wolves round here but they are highly nomadic and a pack usually covers a large area. It is pretty rare for them to go in someone's yard as unless they are in a park (where they are protected) as pretty much everyone shoots them on site if given a chance. I'm not saying it never happens, but even on farms or ranches out in the bush it's pretty rare for them to go near humans if they are hunted. Coyotes are different and even though hunted will l

We see them here quite often in winter, and mostly they can be pretty faint or dull and slow moving. Occasionally though they are really bright like on Ted's photos, and those are the nights they seem to move quicker across the sky. Been here 9 years and have only seen them really bright and dancing twice to give you an idea of frequency though....

Laptop batteries contain 18650s, same as power tools strip old ones and check / test them. Most of the laptop batteries I've stripped have been Panasonic or Samsung.

Trump dies from the virus. He goes to Hell where the Devil is waiting for him. "I don't know what to do," says the Devil. "You're on my list but I have no room for you. But you definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I've got three people here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves." Trump thinks that sounded pretty good so he agrees. The devil opens the first room. In it is Richard Nixon and a large pool of water. He keeps diving in and surfacing empty-handed over and

Avoid launching on shallow beaches until you know what you are doing, grease your rollers before you go, get the boat ready out of the way at the top of the slip out of the way so you dont block it for everyone, watch for proper slippy green slime or mud on a steep slip, make sure your bung is in, all straps and ropes are off, keep your winch strap on and let the boat down on the winch if the slip is steep, keep a rope from the bow tied to your trailer or to a helper so boat does drift off, avoid low water (and on some slips high water can cause a nasty chop), try and pick a calm day, watch c

Fair play that's good to see, what part of the country was that in mate out of interest?

I have seen them come up now and again on findafishing boat https://www.findafishingboat.com/es-list/fishing-gear-for-sale Or if you want new polypot do them https://www.polypotcreels.co.uk/polypot-r-shrimp-prawn-pot.html The polypot ones fish well but if a crab crawls into the entrance and sits there no more prawn will go in, so if you can check them fairy fairly regularly

There was a large group from manitoba here in wmu 354 last week, arrived with a load of trucks and a reefer trailer from what I have read. Cows, calfs, bulls anything they can get. Sometimes just taking the noses and back legs, trespassing and hunting at night...... and the cops / fish cops do nothing, unreal.

You should take the piebald just to piss of the natives Ted. The "stewards of the land" are decimating the moose here with year round unregulated hunting, and causing havoc in BC stopping any non indigenous entering huge areas (land and water), while this piss poor government does f**k all except give them more money and rights.

Bought myself some decoys and a cheap shotgun last year to have a go for ducks and geese here in Alberta. The season opened on Tursday so got out on some local DU (Ducks Unlimited) land and had a good morning. Built a quick blind from 2" weldmesh, ended with an ok mixed bag with blue and green wing teal, gadwalls and a young redhead (I think).

I suppose it depends on how far u are spacing your poles when setting, but 18 inch is to short in my eyes. If your sticking it in the ground say 4 inches that only leaves 14 inches above ground. A few of my nets are only 13 meshes deep, and they hung fine on 24" poles at 5yd spacing, and I didn't bother angling the poles much either.

Very nice ?

Thanks, good to know ?

Looks good, are you knitting the square mesh 4 deep and folding over the headline mate? Edited to add, is that a white Loomis needle?
