In a Nov. 2, 1960 article titled Nimrods bag 21 geese in annual Chilcotin trip, the Williams Lake Tribune noted that six local hunters made the most of the unseasonably warm weather and tallied a whopping bag of good-eating Canadian geese.
Travelling in a panel and jeep, and towing another jeep for added horsepower in the event they needed it, the men reached their destination only to discover toast-warm temperatures prevailing.
It was the last week in October 1960 that they made the hunting trip.
