June 1, 2024 Checked 3 cameras I set this camera to watch the trail the bear is on and I’m hoping bears use the pool as a bathtub.

Hiking May 19
Hiked some improved (by me) bear/deer trails north of Ketchikan and replaced some cameras out by Moser Bay.
Naha River May 11
Fished the river for the first time in around 20 years, and other than a little gravel around the dock it looks like the trail hasn’t seen any maintenance since then and I wouldn’t attempt it in the rain without calked boots. We started out trying for steelhead but did catch some nice trout, soContinue reading “Naha River May 11”

Last Hike of 2023
December 31 Spent the day scouting out for new places to put trailcams and hunt deer this coming autumn. This area has a lot of potential but finding a good funnels for cameras could be challenging.
Highlights from a few Hikes December 2-17
I spent the first half of December checking on and bringing most of my trailcams home, I only left 7 out and except a few favorite spots I plan to use again, I will find new homes for the other 30+ cameras. I’m guessing a wolf got this fawn and it’s not as broken upContinue reading “Highlights from a few Hikes December 2-17”
