These were taken in Northern British Colombia around 1970 - 1972. Quality is poor - sorry. The cougar tried to attack me chopping wood, but thanks to my dog, I got an early warning in time to grab the .303. The griz was attacking our pigs. The small black critter is a prime fisher.

Here are some more photos from trapping in 1981 in Northern British Colombia.
1. My wife lounging in a line camp snow shelter at -40.
2. Base camp. There are Martin hanging in the shadows on the wall but tough to see. Snow shoe rabbits for bait hang from the eaves.
3. Outside looking in. Almost covered...
4. Line camp snow shelter.
5. Making a trap set for Martin.
6. Moose booking out.
7. My wife writing in her journal.
8. Breaking trail.

Magic stuff, great photos of a life that most of us will never experience and is rapidly disappearing.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
