Title: Re: 99 Rules for Fail-safe camping Post by solotripper on Mar 2nd, 2007 at 9:17pm
lots good ideas regarding fish remains, i guess as long as its a guideline, not mandatory, then I'll probably continue to deposit on shore, down from camp until/if it becomes a law?? I can't see to much of a difference between leaving your fish guts WAY down from camp and burying them way back in the woods?? Unless your digging a real deep hole, the bears will probably find them anyway?? Seems like the different entities would get on the same page and so could we??
I also think group size has a significant impact on turning wild critters into campsite beggars which no one wants >:( >:( Traveling solo and using just a conservation license, I rarely have two carcass's and if I get a laker, its just one. However, one year on Quetico L, I passed a party of 8, that had a mess of Pike that they were filleting out and tossing the carcass's on the rocks in front of there camp :o :o I stopped to chat and mentioned it, and they told me that they were hoping to get some Bear pics and acted like that was the norm for them?? I just said I hope you have your packs hung high, and they pointed up to there camp, where they had taken a downed tree(i hope) and lashed it between two other tree's and had there food packs hanging about 6 ft off the ground ;D ;D I WONDER if they got there Bear pics they so badly wanted :( :( |
