Friday:
Leaddog shows up to commence another year of the FAMHC, but typhoon winds hinders any field activities. 35mph plus sustained winds say don’t leave the camp! Polecat arrives, and the two sit and grin at each other.
Saturday:
With a good crew now assembled, a hunt from the west towards camp is planned. Drivers are driven to their points, watchers are placed including now the Polecat. Much sign is seen at he starting point, a scrape to black earth is observed. Three drivers, Leaddog, Toucher and Lindy start and pushes absolutely nothing that they know of to the awaiting watchers. Leaddog finds the Polecat in the correct spot, as noticed by the new clearing that could support a Chinook Helo landing. Toucher and Lindy finds Steven and a second hunt is planned closer to Camp, with the usual results.
Sunday:
A hunt of the whole Bunny Hill is planned, watches manned yet again with the Polecat in the Notch….”Is this the Notch?!”…..Steven not too far down below. Leaddog, Toucher and Robba hits their routes and off they go! Minutes into the drive four does run right into Polecat, who finally gets to see what an Adirondack deer looks like again in the hair! Leaddog sees a mule dash out of sight into the drive towards the Notch, Toucher sees yet another up top….Robba then sees running (flying) tracks heading down the ridge, with leaves still on fire showing the way it ran. All meet for part two, and the next hunt begins, but now with a twist! Robba claims a buck with tiny horns is seen which walked practically up to him and bedded down 50 feet away staring at him. Apparently the two are trying to teach each other their language as Robba and the mule have a most interesting conversation for over half an hour! (whats deer words for “aaaaaaple?’)
Steven comes around the end of the mountain to the two and interrupts the lovefest….
Everybody sees a deer or four! BTW, the two bucks were not the same, and neither were worthy of placement on the walls.
Next week….The Great Alaskan Adventure is planned, four days of stumbling around the Happy Hunting Grounds! Stay tuned!

OK Dildos
The F troop huntin camp is officially open for business with one mule down and hopefully at least more to come. We are not dry thanks to a first time hunter and of course he now becomes a driver for the rest of his natural born life or until he is due for another one.
This week end ( weather permitting ) we are heading for the split rock camp to leave some of Raven’s ashes and who knows another mule might be taken.
The pics are great Lead Dog.
