Very cool encounter RD. Which part of Canada are you in? My brothers live in Dryden Ontario. Love going up there. So much wildlife, and I love to fish for walleye...
I used to have relatives in Dryden ON, all long gone now. I live in Red Deer AB. Named by the early Scottish settlers due to all the Elk in the area at that time. They confused our Elk, for their Red Deer stags back home.
