Great picture of the generations fishing together. What a place the Cains is! After having such a beautiful end to last season up on the Cains, I have not spent a day since then without reflecting on it.

Keith, Ranney and I are looking forward to coming back to see what you have done with the lodge for black salmon. Perhaps I can catch that same big fish and have a better photo journalist on call. Ranney is fired from that job. Look forward to seeing you in April. Rob

Keith – thanks for the exposure on what I hope will become an annual Cains River enhancement project. I want to make it clear that no one is trying to drive all the beaver out of the Cains watershed. Trapping is at a low ebb with poor prices and few people now interested in doing it. At the same time beaver have very few natural predators, so the population is very large. With the warm summers that we are having and likely to continue to have, plus the salmon’s need for this important part of the river’s historical spawning habitat, free flowing streams into the Cains are important. As your readers can see from the MSA report many of the large streams into the Cains were virtually unusable due to beaver dam infestation.

Hello Keith,
This is a great collection of fishing and non-fishing works with interesting personal notes. It will make a perfect Christmas present.

I’ve been a bowhunter for a few years now and there is no bigger thrill or bigger challenge than getting close a whitetail buck, especially a buck of this calibre. And, being close enough to get a good, clean shot with a bow only adds to the thrill. I have taken deer both with my crossbow and now my compound bow and it’s a great feeling, as a lot of time, scouting, planning, effort and setting up stands and blinds takes place just to get that perfect shot. Tagging out on a buck like that is something to be proud of, damn good work!
I’ve watched 2 deer die directly in front of my blind after making good, clean shots and it is both a sad and exciting time, so I understand what you were feeling watching this big feller pass on. They are tough animals.
Gorgeous buck, congratulations!

Great idea. Don’t know if something similar exists for the SW Miramichi but I would be very interested in a copy. Great site by the way Keith, your site is the best on the river in my humble opinion. Dale

Great story! Sounds like you did everything right and what a beautiful buck. I get the comment about feeling a bit sad; been there, done that, and I don’t judge others who feel differently but now I just fish and if I hunt it’s with a camera. Again, great hunt!
