Hi Chase,

Not Sound Garden, but a band calling themselves "Monster Truck" (can't get much more redneck than that... )

RC

Well, that sounds like a program I need to check out! I've used lightroom and photoshop for years so it sounds like the Premiere program would be an easy learn.

RC

Hi Grahame,

How is Premiere for co-coordinating sound (ie music) inside the show? Is it a reasonably intuitive program or is it a Photoshop/Lightroom type learning curve?

You've piqued my interest now. lol

Good day people :) Haven't poked my nose in here for awhile so I figured I should see what was going on on the other side of the globe. :biggrin: I was looking through about a terabyte of pictures a few days ago and decided to have a go at making a short video that incorporated both stills and video...

While you folks are sweltering in the summer temps, we are on a slightly different track in this part of the world. :) My wife has taken a 4 month internship in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, as part of her Masters degree, so on December 28 we left south Vancouver Island and I drove her the (approx) 2...

Ohhhh that looks tasty!

My wife hunts. If you have seen any of my photo's in the "photography" section you'll know she goes the distance and, like me, her happy place is far from roads and people. As our children are getting to the point of making their own way in life many of our "vacations" are now ex...

Another cool place for the "to visit" list... I like pubs!

... not GPS's :) Probably the last hunt for me this year and Hel and I did our annual whitetail trip to our cabin in the southern interior of BC. We took our younger (4 yr old) German shorthair pointer (GSP) with us this year, not to use him while deer hunting but just an outing for him. Our old GSP...

It's always fun getting up close and personal with animals like that. :biggrin: I used my Chekmate which is about 56# at my draw (30"), bamboo arrows, rosewood self nock and a tusker broad head. Runs about 730 gr in weight. The arrow in the pictures above is my grouse arrow- yellow cedar with f...

Hey Jeff, Finally got lucky with one of the slobber noses. :) Not too much of a tale. One of the guys tagged an almost clone of this one earlier in the week so I was prowling the end of the lake where he got his, looking for another. The rut really hadn't started so calling wasn't being as effective...

I have been fortunate this year in being able to get a a fair bit of hunting in around the province. Mostly, it seems, packing game off the mountain for my wife... :) but that's ok. Finally got a chance to let my 'curve see the wilds on a moose hunt in central BC. A lower elevation hunt than I'm usu...

very cool photos! Some of that country looks like it could be in BC or the Yukon- same latitudes I suppose.

RC

Hi Jeff, The curve is going moose hunting. :) On our longer trips weight is an issue so a secondary "critter getter" is a tough option and my bow usually stays at home unless there is a third person packing a rifle. We have a healthy population of our version of land based great whites (gr...

Hi Grahame, NWT is a bit too far away... :) Plus I would have to hire a guide to hunt there. Each province/territory regulates its own wildlife and dictates who can hunt there and how. In BC, every year I can take any Canadian resident on a "Permit to accompany" for a lot of species. Some ...

Oh ya "Again next year"... The remote areas are my "happy place". Moose hunting up next in October.

RC

Hello all. Been awhile since I've dropped in (that pesky work and life thing seems to get in the way). Finally took a month off and headed out for 3 weeks of wilderness hunting with my wife. Two separate trips but here are some pics from the first one. RC After last year's “no tag cut” sheep hunt, H...

'Crankers'?

...really big ones.

Thanks guys. Next adventure might not be until spring. Unless we get out mountain lion hunting in January.

RC

A little bit late but.... :) Here's a couple of pic's from a September high country mule deer hunt in south central BC. Didn't take as many pics as I usually do but here's a couple to give you the flavour. :) Heading in: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a20/Tuffcity/Lillooet%20Mule%20Deer%202012/39f...

When are you going out hunting with the bow again?

Jeff

Thursday. We're heading out for a Sept 01 mule deer opening. Pack into the high country again for a quick trip (5 days)- closer to home this time though.

RC

It had been 25 years since I chased my first Stone sheep. Lightening had struck for me on that first hunt and I took a decent ram. I was hoping it would strike again for another novice sheep hunter (my wife) and it did… unfortunately it was the high voltage type and it hit the ground near our camp o...

Hi Clinton, This is my 4th tag in the past 20 years - but I don't put in every year either. Still looking to put a G-bear on the ground. :) Seems that when I don't have a tag I bump into them on a regular basis... when I do have one it's like bear repellant! Oh well, it's a good excuse to go out and...

Thanks guys.

Jeff: work has had me on the road waaaayyyy too much in the past 3 months. Not much time for photo taking or posting! Happily home for awhile- at least until the wife and I head out in early August for a 2 week fly-in mountain sheep hunt up north.

RC

So as you folks roll towards winter the flip side of the world heads in summer. My wife and I both drew permits for grizzly bear in the central coast region of BC. We spent 14 days looking for the elusive g-bear. She was hunting with her muzzle loader and I was going to pack my trusty recurve ... un...

high powered hunting bows But not with high powered sniper bows... that would be just wrong... (where's the sarcasm font when you need it?) I don't have an issue with it. But I haunted my grandparents farm, unattended, from age 8 or so, taking my butchers twine and maple switch bow up against the f...

you might want to trim her finger tabs a little Good eye! :) She needs a new so was using mine. I may be old hat; but is the fletching facing the wrong way? As slayer mentioned, I've found that on well spined arrows it doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't usually use a different colour fletch...

...even a Nikon shooter finds a decent shot once in a while. :) Now that spring is on the up swing and bear season starting to heat up it's time to shake off the winter cobwebs and build the form back up. Unfortunately for me a partially seperated shoulder tendon has side lined my efferts for a few ...

So I come home from work and find my wife and daughter in the kitchen holding up a full length calendar. Me: "what are you guys looking at?" Them: "Ohhh, Mr. February" they both purr in unison. Me: "Ah, what?" Them: "We want a Mr. February" Somewhat taken abac...

They're not for wearing out in public though.......... or anywhere else

OK.... that statement is rather frightening....

RC

Oh you camo-phobes! How is she going to annoy people if it's just a plain brown bag?
