It is in Southern Alberta, we were exploring the Ghost and Livingston river areas, the season opens in a couple of days and there are lots of great spots for bull/cut throat/rainbow trout along with whitefish.

Next week when the season opens there will be trout, so they had to suffer with grilled ribye, chicken, bacon and farmers sausage just like us. It was definitely tough for them.

Both pups are Akitas, Japanese bear hunting dogs, we do a lot of back country camping so they are perfect for the lifestyle, and the bears stay away from us with these two. Wolves on the other hand if there are more than 6 of them are curious. 6 or less then Jager and Kihei will go after them. Fish, lots of trout variations, whitefish, pickeral/walley(my favorite for eating, jackfish(fresh water sharks, they bite anything) and the farther you go north then arctic greyling. My favorite spot, you need to hike 16km over 3 mountains up to 7500ft with all of your gear to get there however, the lake is stocked with cut throat trout. The arm gets soar from pulling them in.
and there are at least 18 grizzlies in that area.

For me it comes down to knowing the environment I am going into first, and respecting the animals and land. If there was a drought and I knew the bears were more hungry than usual I would not go to those areas. However I live in a great land with many areas to explore which I plan on doing, food is hung in trees in airtight containers, and I if my gut feeling tells me to be wary or leave, it is always correct. The dogs I 100% trust this is why I went with this breed, they are powerful bear hunting dogs(and big sucks), they have chased away more than one curious bear, and if there are 6 or less wolves they will go after them as well. On one occasion there were at least a dozen wolves and the pups worked as a team, one always at my side the other doing a perimeter within 15-20ft. Ironically I lost my bear banger an hr before the wolves showed up so just kept the fire going until first light. Anytime I saw eyes reflecting back I ran at them with the headlight on, hunting axe in one hand and hunting knife in the other yelling to let them know we were not easy prey. Every time the pups stayed next to me ready to do their job. Am a firm believer if and when my time comes it does not matter where I am or what I am doing I will just go. So in the meantime I will enjoy exploring and all life has to offer, being respectful of my environment.
And yes on occasion I will bring a combat grade shotgun with slugs if I am in areas I am unfamiliar with like canoeing the Yukon river last summer.

research and book a flight to NZ. it was so good I bought a Bach there and go once a year......do a remote walk in, you walk for 2 days to reach it. all c/r 10-14 brownies are not uncommon, water is pristine.....
