Hi Harlen,
That is an exceptional sunrise shot; truly stunning! And, you definitely were in prime season for boletes. I'll attach a shot of one of the lunkers I caught a couple years ago (they're pretty easy to catch, even for someone who moves as slowly as I do). This one was growing in Gardiner Lakes basin:

Thanks for a super report. You guys really carry a 3ft pan? I'm impressed!

Really like the picture of the lake with ice at the edges
Yes, nice capture Harlen. :)
This is the time of year when one can incorporate iced lakeshore's or small iced over ponds into one's foregrounds in the mornings, they can create very unique captures, if all the small elements come together.
Love mushrooms. :nod: :yummy:

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

You can eat what you kill, but even in 14 days, that won't put a dent in what you have to carry out.


Thanks for the insight. Sounds like a lot of good hard work Russ. I'm sure you're the sort of respectful hunter who does it right, unlike the bunch of vehicle hunters we saw up there.

A late September snowstorm saved the bear meat. That was just luck. 10 miles in.
