SHONISAURUS SIKANNIENSIS

More than 200 million years ago, the Shonisaurus sikanniensis swan in our ancient seas. A 70-foot long specimen encased in limestone was unearthed on the banks of the Sikanni Chief River. Many beautiful souls contributed to our knowledge and excavation of Shoni, particularly from Dean Lomax, Sven Sachs and our own Betsy Nicholls.

MAMMA MOOSE, BABY MOOSE... GRIZZLY!

We freeze cameras in hand. In seconds the three are upon us. Mamma moose runs straight for us and reaching our boats turns 90 degrees and bolts for the woods -- her calf fast on her heels. The Grizzly, running and caught up in the thrill of the kill, doesn’t notice the deke, hits the brakes and stands up on her hind legs in front of us, ready for some lunch.

BOWRON GRIZZLY GIVES CHASE / NANDZI

Mamma Moose, Baby Moose... Grizzly! Click the photo to hear the Huntress Podcast episode with this tale.

URSAVUS / TEK-WAY-DEE

The Bowron Lakes are at an elevation of 3000 ft. making both Grizzly and Black Bear sightings are common. Both bear families descend from a common ancestor, Ursavus, a bear-dog the size of a raccoon who lived more than 20 million years ago. Seems an implausible lineage having just met of the their larger descendents.

rain or shine

Rain long foretold takes a long time to pass; if it arrives on short notice, it soon will pass. For the folks I go out collecting with all hikes, digs and kayak trips are rain or shine. Safety is always top of mind and prepping for the weather is paramount. Keep yourself safe whatever part of the world you choose to explore.
