Heading up to Quebec to Mirage Outfitters for Caribou!!

Last time we blogged we were up in Whitehorse, Yukon and time has flown since then! We stayed in Whitehorse for a couple of days and then flew home a day early and surprised our son, RJ! Thursday last week, as we were unpacking from our moose hunt, Ralph accidently sliced open his left thumb with his pocketknife!! Yes, he had just got finished sharpening it and was opening up a package with it and the knife slipped!! Well, he managed to cut the inside of his left thumb pretty good, including an artery & possibly a nerve!! I rushed him to the hospital - 4 stitches, and IV (because of all of the blood loss) and a tetanus shot later, we were able to go back home!! He cut his index finger pretty good too while we were up in the Yukon, so the tetanus shot was probably a good thing!! He was in a bunch of pain for the next couple of days.

We did managed to finish putting in our Hunter's Specialties VitaRack Fall Mix plots here by the house! So that's a good thing!! We are expected to get like 2 inches of rain today though, so hopefully it won't flood it!!

Joe and Zendal returned from Renfro's Alsakan Adventures up in Alaska! They each shot a really nice bull moose on a do-it-yourself hunt!! They said it was hard work and a lot of sweat, but they would go back in a heartbeat!! Thanks Wade for having them up there!! The moose footage is awesome!! We are getting some great moose footage and MOOSE MANIA 2 is going to be awesome next year!!!

Freddy and Robery North (Posse) are going to be heading up to Kashabowie Outposts with Fern in Ontario for a moose hunt too!! Scott Wolfe & Bill Ball (both Posse) are up there right now trying for the big swamp donkeys!! :-)

Ralph and I are trying to get everything caught up here, seeing as how we were home for about 12 hours between our Colorado and Yukon hunts! Don't worry, we are not complaining!! We are geting a few things done in the office this miornng and then a packing we will go!! Ralph talked with Peter Palmer, from Mirage Outfitters up in Quebec, yesterday and he told Ralph that there was snow all week in Kuujjuaq and that some of the hunters couldn't fly out of town due to the weather!! They are keeping their eyes on the situation and hopefully the weather will break a little and allow us to fly into a camp on Saturday!! I am thinking I better bring my SHE Outdoor C4 suit!! (Ralph is laughing at me!!) Oh well, better warm, dry and maybe over packed then cold & wet!! :-)

I did call our cell phone company to find out why my data service doesn't work in Canada and that I was going to change companies. They swear up and down that if we take our battery out of our phone for 5 minutes and then turn it back on that it should work. Hmmm... well I guess we will give it a try this weekend, if not maybe we need to make a change.

OK, I think I have rambled on long enough!! Better get to work!! Have a great week!! Vicki & Ralph
