Nearly stabbed a grouse

In the photo you can see the grouse's feather pattern beside its hole. Right above it you can see my pole mark. When I placed my pole the grouse took flight and causing me to jump out of my boots. My pole mark is just 12" from where the grouse was.

I saw 2 more grouse later in the day, all between Wiley Brook and Eden Mtn Rd.

Moose Tracks

Saw lots of Moose & jack rabbit tracks between Wiley Brook and Eden Mtn Rd.

Wiley Brook

Bushwhacking

Lots of trees down 2 miles South of Wiley  Brook. The downed trees went on for about a mile.

I broke trail for 5 miles today. Because of all the downed trees snow mobiles haven't used this portion of their trail system.
