The DEC was puttin traps in friend of mines yard just north of me to catch fishers that have been eating all the cats in the neighborhood.

I was always taught while bushwahcking to keep a 5-10 feet from the person in front of you for this reason. I do find myself holding them for people but then I try to get ahead so I dont have to. All that holding time starts to add up and you can go much quicker when ya dont have to worry bout...

I think I may be out backpacking around that area myself that weekend, but not sure exactly where I plan on going. Unfortuantly I have summer session to attend so my time is limited! From what I heard latley expect black flies, mud, ice and hard back in the higher elevations. The trail...

I use to use the arcteryx RT 25. Got it on sale a while ago for a very good price and couldnt resisit. THe roll top wasnt too bothersome. I enjoyed teh no zipper part and had no problems with it. My main thing aobu tit was the small side pockets, a water bottle would fit but not very well so...

and the animal that kills the most people every year is the Deer. Mostly through car accidents though.

I've been seeing a few black "red" squirels running around latley. Its always need when you get to see a very common animal thats is differnt from all the others. I was wondering if the colors effected the animlas in any way socially. The other day I was watching a group of rock doves. One...

My hiking partners all have trail names relating to bodily functions. Theres Haucker: spits alot, Snot Rocket: pefered method of blowing ones nose, Down wind: The one place you do not want to be when hiking with this person, and Tripod: The way ones manuvers ones self to go to the bathroom in...

Just wondering if anyone else has one of these weather radios from oregon scientific. I have model number WR102 and can not pick up signal anywhere and was wondering if im doing somthing wrong. I use to get reception but now alls i get is static. If anyone has one of these or knows how to...

Sounds like a good time, supposed to be beautiful weather too. Id join if I could but ill be down in the Pharoh lakes wilderness measuring a few stands of trees and then hiking around the area. Hope you have a good trip!

My g/f had the same problema with a pair of columbia boots. Her first mistake was not listening to me! her old boots were performing so poorly and casuing her feet to get wet and cold she tried to break new ones in on the trail, thinking that sore feet woudl be better than cold wet feet, boy...

my left knee has been bugginme latley also, and especially on teh downhill unless i try ot stiff leg it. Good info so far, I've been wrapping it with an ace bandage for a little extra support but was wondering if an actual brace would help, but from teh sounds of thing it sounds liek the knee...

nice article. It is quite annoying to hear of people killing wild animals for being too close to their property when the people themselves have moved inot teh habitat of these wild animals. If you dont want wild life in your yard, then dont move there. It probably would have been just as easy...

:eek: If i bought one of those i dont think i coudl afford anythign to fill it with!

I was at EMS in placid yesterday and they had a Mad river rocket out in the store. The other night on the news they did a peice on a few sleeders in vermont using the mad river rocket. Showed them doing back country and goin off big rocky cliffs, and goin in and out between trees. Also...

Great short story, jack london , To Build a Fire. After reading that I now know not to build a fire under any trees! well that and dont travel alone in -70 degree weather haha BUt from the way this winter is i dont think we have to worry about that! ;)

haha I think id stay away from teh sleeping bear! They arnt true hibernatiors, so they dont slow they're whole system down, into an almost comatose state like beaver wood chucks, etc. You can shake a wood chuck and he'll stay snoozin cuase it will take him so long to regualtre his boy temps...

Great find ! Nice shots of them too, you can see them very clearly, as for teh font or back paw thing its very hard to tell wether or not its hind or read legs. Bob cats as well as lynx, deer, fox etc, are perfect steppers. Which simply means they place their rear feet in the exact same print...

My wals are decorated with my packs haning from hooks and maps pined up on teh walls. I use my head lamp all the time for doin reapirs in hard to get to spots where i need boht hands. My nalgene is never far form me. I cook at home using receipes from backpacker and various other articles for...

I have to say my fav was the tangerene dream. Great shots and it was really cool watching the extreme skiiers and boarders. I also enjoyed parellolojams , the one on crack climbing, im not a rock climber but it was a nice insight into the things these people go through, amkes me want to get...

Another thing to look at when trying to idetify the tracks fo a bob cat and lynx, other than the size, is that the tracks left from the lynxx are usually blurry looking comparred to teh bob cat. The Lynxx have hiar on teh bottom of their paws so the pads are not as prominant. This goes with...
