Another crappy week of work!

This week really sucked!


I drove out to the Crowsnest Pass.

I did a little tour of the Allison Creek Brood Trout Station which is at the base of Crowsnest Mountain.
Inside the Brood Station they raise thousands of Brook, Brown & Rainbow Trout every year, right from the egg to the brood stock, pretty amazing.

The wind blows all the time here, this past week the winds were 80 km/hr with gusts up to 100 km/hr, I guess that's why there's a wind generator on almost every 1/4 section of land.

Notice no snow in the fields!

Holy crap, snow!

Wow, some of the drifts are high, this one Volker Stevin used their snow blower on, the blower is mounted on the front of a huge front end loader, it has two reels and is taller than my truck.

Some mulies hopping the fence. Nice buck!

This is a cute little yearling elk that I had to shoot! It had a broken rear leg and couldn't get up.

Pincher Creek at dusk, this was taken looking southwest from Highway #3.
Just another crappy week at work, I sure miss the drunks and the domestics... NOT!!!

However do you stand it going to work and being forced to have all that fun (outside of putting down the elk of course)?

Does the meat go to a shelter/soup kitchen?
