Fall was in the air this past week with temperatures dropping to the low 50’s in the Texas Hill Country. I got my bags packed well ahead of time and made way to Toronto yesterday and now on to Deer Lake.
The service was good on Air Canada however I was promptly chided for my mask slipping off my nose by a Canadian passenger waiting to deplane. Living in Texas, I haven’t worn a mask in nearly two months and had forgotten how paranoid so many people are. To get on the plane I had to show a vax card, negative pcr test and a confirmation code from the ArriveCAN app so what difference is a mask going to make.
This latest installment of my quest for the NA 29 has been booked for nearly 3 years as it was derailed last year by Covid. I got the J&J shot three weeks ago to be able to enter Canada and felt worse from the shot than I did when I had Covid earlier this year. About ten days into it I felt tired and flu like for the better part of a week. Still not 100% but will push through it on the hunt.
I have the week to hunt these two species with the Woodland Caribou being first on the list. The plan is to charter to the main camp then transfer by helicopter to a remote camp where I will meet up with my guide. The forecast has weather partly cloudy and temps from 40-60. Of course, as with nearly all North America hunting in the Fall there is always a chance of rain so I brought my Sitka gear.
There will most likely be a gap in posts as I don’t expect there to be internet in the bush camp.
The good Lord willing and with some hard work I will harvest the moose and caribou this week and that will put me at 26.
