I was away for the entire month of September, but after 2 days at home my wife and I were itching to see what the recent rains have brought. After 3 hours in pretty rough territory, we managed to snag 26lbs of chanterelles and one nice caulifower mushroom. Can't wait to get out to our other favourite spots!

So it should be a great windfall next spring after what Alberta went through this year. I'll trade you some chanterelles for morels which are hard to find on Vancouver Island.fatboyz wrote:Morels are mostly what we get here in the mountains in areas that have had fires. You get 1-2 years after the burns.

You are reaping the bounty this year. Sadly my collection only resulted in this yesterday but this should be pretty good in itself.
She got so mad at me she lost her head.
Ended up putting her in the back of the truck while I finished some work but she stopped my heart several times because I invariably would forget she was there and be reminded when I had to get things out of the bed.
Skin for a belt or rifle sling.

I don't worry about the snakes as much as I do the yellowjackets. The latter are awful and relentless. Not saying I'm not scared of the snakes but if I had my choice I'd rather stumble on a snake than an yellowjacket nest.
That is an Ontario knife. I broke the original handle using it as a hammer and replaced it with antler. I don't know what type steel they use but its good stuff and it can shave hair when its sharp. Good quality steel for sure.

That would be a trade I'd love to do!
I haven't done anything with it yet. I'm saving it for my daughter and her friends. She is bringing her friends home and two of them are from overseas and this should be a good treat for them.
Snake tastes a lot like real tender chicken. I think I'm going to make an oriental dish with this but I've had it fried, stewed, smoked and made prepared in a white sauce. The latter was really good. My aunt who is a chef and very picky loved it so that made me feel good that she raved on something so many people would cringe on. Its really pretty good. Very delicate.

That's funny - I killed a Timber Rattler that was about identical to that one two weeks ago - my son is a Marine and comes back in two weeks. I haven't quite decided how to cook the snake when he gets here, but I saw an interesting recipe that was a lot like the Pibil the Mexicans fix around here. Slow-cooked with achiote paste, wrapped in banana leaves.Butterbean wrote:That would be a trade I'd love to do!
