The smell of blood is in the air,

caribou blood that is.

Late last week someone came back to town with a komatik load of caribou, by Sunday most anyone who went hunting [lots] had some deer to skin and cut up. Lots of sharing too so that is good.

Siutik had the time on our weekend walks, sniffing the air, snagging the odd tit bit at the front or rear of houses.

On Saturday out on the harbor ice she took off a couple of times chasing a ski doo and komatik with skins going to the dump.

Yesterday she would not eat her ‘normal’ food instead waiting for something tastier. I waited her out until 5 when she gave in.

The pictures are of gray jays having at ribs hung out to dry.

We have fresh meat but a prime rib was already on the menu for last night.

Received a spot from Noah Nochasak last evening, he is at the end of Kingurutik Lake.

Looks like the adrenalin rush of the first day has dissipated and now he is into a more paced travel.
Lots of winding brooks ahead and the climb into the barrens starts soon.

Phyllis Artiss is the NDP candidate for Labrador in the upcoming election. And please no of the “parachute candidate bullshit”. Phyllis did everything but threaten people within Labrador with violence if they did not run.
