The series seems to begin and end with "Compilations" and the new season should be pretty good, we had a very good year for filming, and recently finnished some more.
Funny, they only taped the first 4 days of Trapping, and thats about the only unproductive filming I delt with , LOL!!......traps need more than 2-4 days to be productive here, as everything is on the move and following the herds of caribou, except Lynx, but with almost no rabbbits around (down cycle) they too are on the move.... :banghead: but oh well, it seem'd that every set had the wrong animal come and take try ~~LOL!!~~
Judging distances on ice/snow is exceedingly difficult, it took me years to get that down, and is a downfall of the wifes and daughters, so weve decided to pace them off a range at camp, and try and get them up to it all. The hardest, most difficult ones are Seals, they are exactly the same looking as baby's as they are adults and very very hard to judge, so really flat shooting is necessary, and the .22-250 and .243w really shine on those hunts.
I cant really publish "LBZ" doings, but heres a few of what we do when they are gone.
Like kick back in the tent
Gotta have a thermos of Coffee when starting out in the mornings
Caribou are streaming by in the thousands, and I tryed a "selfie" but the Caribou were gone when they figured us out and the flash didnt help much, but the second pict wasnt as blurry, but still just a bunch of Caribou butts ~~LOL!!~~
Came across this early rise with my size 11 Baffin swamp boots to compare
We struck his trail at dusk, and had a load for home to bring, so well get back to him soon, I hope
Puttin' it away when we get home...
And our Spring Sheefish camp in the back ground, where well pitch a tent and build some racks soon, get something good going there
The Arctic Circle actually intersects here, and the picture is from the South side of the Circle looking across the mouth of the river, North to "The Arctic"
Well, Ill be back and forth untill breakup and hopefully the second daughters graduation will pull off without a hitch (she shaved a year off and did it in 3 years
) and Ill get here again asap , March was one long camp out
