jak Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hey Groomer, you ever get charged or threatened by a bull (or cow) moose? Never happened to me but I know people who have. The bulls get ornery during the rut. Always enjoy your pictures. MrGutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smclelan Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 There was a big truck just pulling in the yard at the sawmill when we drove by today. It had to be 88-90,000kg. We talked about how brutal hot it would have been for you today running a saw, it was 25° in Amqui by 9am. Nice pics as always.
