Great report Jim and that's a beautiful new companion you have there! The more time you spend with her off-lead the better she will become at staying close and returning to you when you call. They like to test their bravery at this age and my dog is starting to run ahead a hundred or so yards...

Looks like a dose of Dr. Scott's homemade potion is in order! Of course, that may just lead to more bruises. Don't ask me how I know. :)

Well I am might as well continue the hi-jack. NJ Fish and Wildlife has the most unbelievable rules for legal weapons for groundhog that you could ever imagine. You can hunt with any centerfire caliber under .25 with ANY weight bullet. Hollow points, soft tip and expanding bullets are all...

Sage advice George and well spoken.

Al, I like the spring snare story! I have quite a few cats hangin' around here that could use a lesson or two. The snares are not set to grab a foot, they are designed to restrain by the neck or body after an animal passes through. What you came across is a coyote snare. As you said, "head...

There are no limitations as to where snares can be set but one has to excercise common sense and consideration for others when setting them. I received my snare certification two years ago but have not had the time to get serious until this year. I have had a bait set and several trail sets...

I am really disappointed with you Ed! :) I have been hearing them quite a bit during this winter bow season. Always a beautiful sound at the end of the hunt.

The numbers within the disc constitute the surveyor's license number. For about the last 25 years, corner markers set by us, including rebar and monuments, have to have the name of the firm or individual on them and must include the license number of the surveyor in responsible charge of the...

I remember it like it was yesterday. My dad picked up me and a buddy up at Square Circle where we were playing ice hockey on the lake. My dad had a yellow '67 Impala convertible with three on the tree. This was back when lakes froze in the winter, before Al Gore put the voodoo whammy on us all...

That goose looks like his parents might have pulled an Obama. :)

Life sounded so much more grand and stylish back then. In reality, it is just the style of the writing and not necessarily the event itself that imparts that perception.. Today an article on the opening of a rail line would most certainly not be so well written and would probably not receive...

That is the location of Belleplain State Forest at present Guy. Looks like you guys had a great trip. I wish I could have made this one because that area is unexplored territory for me.

This article from the Montana Trappers association says that they often lope and then slide as they travel. http://www.montanatrappers.org/furbearers/river-otter1.htm This article talks about the sliding and its uniqueness. http://www.otternet.com/ROA/Fall1999/otterslides.htm The fish...

I vote otter. They will do their slide even across a flat surface from what I have read. I have seen and photographed otter slides on grassed slopes adjoining bogs and it is an amazing phenomenon. Otters are animals that appear to do things to purely to have fun, which is out of the normal...

Beautiful Ed. I love winter and the rugged beauty it brings.

I later found that the Mrsid viewer has been updated and after downloading the latest version, it works well with the new maps too.

This guy has had this for a few years and the website has made the rounds of all the sportsman's associations emaillings. According to the owner, he will be shutting down at the end of this month, relocating and starting up again in September Here is another popular deer cam...

Thanks Boyd. I have the MrSid viewer but I had no luck in opening the maps. I resorted to the Global Mapper and everything worked fine. Scott

That's interesting Dragon. I assumed the turtle was a redbelly since the one I found two years ago definitely was. I thought maybe death and weathering caused the red color loss. The shell is 13" x 8". The shell is olive brown on top and glossy, while the bottom is a dull yellow. Red eared...

I left it intact and I want to go back again and do some more forensics. As I said, I didn't find a head and he was entwined under a small branch on the stump. It is probably a common water snake from its location on a narrow dike between two bogs. I am like a little kid when I find stuff...
