Not all that interesting, but odd to me. While elk hunting this past weekend we were walking up a beat up service road to a radio tower and all along the way there were fishing lures laying in the middle of the road. The odd part is there is nowhere nearby to even fish.

Bet someone was ticked off when they got home and found that their tackle box had spilled :bash:
"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
- Thomas Jefferson (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria)

Hiking into the back country, my wife and I heard a little dog barking, but we couldn't tell where it was coming from.  We were about 4 miles back on a little trail, and it was getting louder the farther we hiked.  Middle of the week, and no cars at the trailhead other than ours.  Soon, we were very close.  The sound seemed to be coming out of the earth, and we discovered a tiny chihuahua dog inside a squirrel hole at the base of a big tree.  "Come here little feller."  I reached in and by God the damned thing liked to rip me a new one  :yike:  My wife tried and the little sucker bared his teeth at her and took a swipe.   :yike:  Then he went deeper into the hole.  He was wearing a little collar, and looked pretty healthy.  It was late in the fall...

I wonder if the snow pack got him?  Or maybe a big cat?   :EAT:

Ptarmigan hunting up north of Cantwell with a family friend my dad and sister we saw a tree way up the side of the mtn with flagging tied way the hell at the top. When we got up there there was an old trunk at the base of the tree with a huge lock. We opened and found 3 brown bear cub skulls and a half dozen or so gall bladders. Craziest thing about it was while we inspecting the trunk we heard a plane off in the distance getting closer, sonofabitch ended up buzzing 50 or so feet right above the tree. We got the tail #'s and turned them in. I was about 12 or so at the time and it was by far the weirdest thing I have seen in the woods to date. We ended up getting pushed off the mountain by a sow with two cubs that evening and she was insanely aggressive. Apparently there were a lot of bears around there. Had a bear walk circles around our tent that night as well!!

i Also found a newer girls mountain bike, burried in a creek in the middle of a clearcut during early elk season this year.

Probably trolling for elk would be my guess.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............
