Yup, the internet and the fact Alberta has grown by a factor of 3 in the last 25yrs... best get ready for the next 25... probably hit 10 or 12 million.

Yeah him and Mitchell

Two of the biggest Alberta stream cutthroat I caught in the last few yrs came from 49.831377 -114.437373 and 50.034759 -114.429476, 19 and 21 inches respectively.

Taint no natives left in that water, No? Have at it mang

I ceased to worry about internet hotspottin' the day I caught multiple 16-17-18-19 inch fish right through the middle of random camping hell. TMM it only become an issue if you don't have the built in flexibility to fish somewhere else when you discover someone fishin' "your" starting point or honey hole.

Bingo

Big big cougar huh.... think it's time to bail on this thread again..

I'm stayin' outta this one

Nice pic of BBT and his empty promises though.

Cripe Mike, I've been known to be a tad gassy at times, I like my burritos with extra refried beans but, methane wise, it ain't all that bad... hell I can eat chimichangas all day long with no problem at all

I'd ask for cake but we'd probably just get another cake recipe......friggin' city boys..

Early 70's, no idea about today. Nothing will straighten out your short and curly's like a grizzly shot through both shoulders from inside of 40 yds by a guy you've known 4 days. I don't need be in on any more grizzly kills

Yeah I got those in 5 trips, not bad for a stream with a 2 fish limit, killed every one of those finny vermin I sunk a hook into, shootin to kill over 200 next yr BTW those Yukon bears were grizzlies and no shots allowed from over 40 yds.. Oh! and no big old trees to climb either, just 10' tall willows

Hey Grinr... better try guidin' for bears in the Yukon. Guides aren't allowed to carry a backup rifle while with a client. And no garbage can setups.

Where's BBT's cake?

I'm gonna blame it on these flu meds I'm on

Oops, I seem to have irritated a bogtrotter

Outside of the parks that's what tent shotguns are for, habituated bears, they will usually permanently disappear around the third training session. First 2 use rock salt. A bear can hit admirable speeds with his ass loaded up with salt from 10 yds and it's a lesson that makes a deep impression on most persistent bears . In the Parks I seen 1/2" steel ball bearings from wrist slingshots used with success. I look at it this way, pepper spray is a close-in last line of last defense. I'm not deployin' it when the bear is 30 yds away or even 30 ft. Even with a gun I ain't shooting a bear at 30 yds and a bear's charge can be all bluff to 10-15 ft or less and at that point I really don't care what way the wind is blowin', I'm gettin' that bear square in the face somehow. If the winds in my face the bear's gonna hafta get closer and my eyes are gonna water. Plus the fact that if the wind is blowin' that damn hard that pepper spray's ineffective at 3-5 ft, I likely quit fishin' long before. Of course this is all conjecture, I've never had to face a close-in pissed bear and I have no idea if my feet have the courage to hang around to find out for sure. Did kick one in the nads when his head was inside a sweetfeed bag though, never saw him again.

Oh! a different kind of sharing than I had imagined, all I brought was a fork. Carry on...

Yeah I know, in spite of my big interwebs mouth I'm purely a hobbyist. That damn BbT still ain't told us what kinda cake though...
