hi all !!!

 

great weekend !! friday around midnight...6 c and saturday 5 c !!!

looks like ''rouge '' as been good for supper friday ...hahha....i realized after downloading pics...mom....she had 2 calves....instead of one !!!

saturday morning ,left camp around 9 15 am....went cleaning a road about 10 miles from camp....landed back at my camp 2 30 pm...opened a cold one ...not even 3 mins at the table

...looked at the brook ...mom and calf stopped for a visit ...not time to put shoes...exited camp by side door...expecting them to be still in the brook ...no luck...i hurried up to take pics

at the brook ...too late....could hear them walking in the water....waited a bit ....mom landed in the trail next to brook ...calf almost 2 mins later..

saw the beaver last night right where i went to clean the road !!!

we need rain badly ....

Excellent pics JG, very cool! We just returned from a trip north of the border with Trailblazer on ATVs, but did not have any photo ops of any moose or beaver. Must be they all are residing in the Gaspe!

hparaptor...

 

i guess you re right...they re vacationing in my area....saw a bull this morning at work ...40 ' in front of my truck...so ,now you know where to ride your 4w next summer !!!...ahaha

as soon i left '' tq 5 '' ,road is uphill...went on top to turn around at the '' y ''...i guess i was looking on the left side...as soon as i turned my eyes to look in front....bull was standing still

on the road...so , i stopped the motor and looked at him for 4-5 mins...trees are very red in ste marguerite !!!

working with thinning saw...different....easier ....but the sunshine....euuuugggh !!!

 

great shots gt rider....your pics are talking by themselves...

can see that the moose is '' squeezed '' if i can say that and he s looking for a spot to get off the trail !!!

still sunshine here...just lucky its cold early morning !!!

Great pictures JG, how's the fishing around your camp?

 

hi jak !!!

 

thx....fishing could be better ...the lake on the pic is the one i go at night to see friends....my dad had a cabin there back in the late 60's and early 70 's...fishing has been always good there

....but about 10 years ago ,they raised the water level on that lake...looks like they ve made a mistake....quality of fishing took a nice dive in the last 5- 6 years....very poor this 

summer...

on top of that lake....left side...lake casault ....fishing still very  good.....casault is one of the best ...if not, the best for trouts reprocduction in pq !!!

still need rain here....very dry and hot ....since last monday...rained for 10 mins...

old pics !!!
