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.
