cjQuote:In fact last summer my son and I were fishing a small trout stream when something on the far side made a hell of a racket in the brush. We never saw it, but it was big and sure didn't sound like a deer. Probably a wild boar, a coyote, or a small bear. It scared us both and I wasn't carrying. Felt pretty vulnerable.
While the original story was amusing and Im wondering how such a guy would own old ammo,, Im more interested in cj's "vulnerability" out there among the critters.
I see bears all the time when I walk through the woods on Kendall Head near Eastport , or near Meddybemps lake.I also see moose and deer and ****. Once saw a lynx but couldnt be sure. ARound my place in Pa, we have tons of deer and its always a kick to see if you can sneak up on them before they get wind of you. I also see a lot of beavers. My neighbor has 2 big Holstein bulls that often need to be avoided whenever theyre horny. So, most often, I carry a stick and a pocket knife , mostly if I want to collect some balsam fronds for tea or wild mushrooms.
Peace be unto you cj,fear not the animals of the field.
