A buddy of mine has a place in the foothills of Mt. Spokane, his property is bordered by State Park. After putting up a game camera he was amazed at what was crossing his property on a nightly basis. Needless to say he has modified the lighting of his back parking area in case someone needs to go out at night to drive anywhere, its like a ball park out there. He sent me a picture of his "barn cats" that has two young cougars lounging on the grass of his yard, yesterday sent me a picture of two of his resident bears one of which is a brilliant cinnamon shade that may be gracing his wall this fall. So many deer, elk and moose pictures its not even challenging. His mineral block is seventy five yards from his porch, none of his neighbors mind his big muzzle loader going off from time to time. My wife is a city girl and I will admit to being spoiled by the fact I am fifteen minutes away from the stuff I might need including my rifle club down on the river, where I have all the comforts of home. Dave place is thirty minutes out of town, he will retire in a few years and is looking forward to not having to drive an hour each day to and from work. They have really cool neighbors that look out for each other, they warn each other about expected company driving down the road, I am a bit envious....I probably mentioned that.
