They both are RESPONSIBLE when handling any firearm, if one is inexperienced or shows negligence that weapons SHOULD NOT be in the their hands...period !!! There are are always "contributing factors" in any incident and rarely, if ever, "Gun accidents"... If one ALWAYS follows the very basic gun safety rule then "accidents" can't happen.....

Absolutely stunning landscape....the only glitch was an aborted take off in a jet due to an eagle being pulled into the engine....

Thanks for the share, I visited Alaska a few years back and it was absolutely amazing. Enjoy with your son and take in as much as you can while there.....

There is a virus going around call VSR, and it looks kind of like COVID symptoms, sat in the urgent care lot in my truck 2 hours awaiting a "rapid" COVID test to get on the "Z-pack" and some good old fashion codeine cough syrup. Wife is a teacher and 1/2 her class has it and it came home to me. It's been about a week and finally it is breaking up and going away... Bets of luck, need to get into the woods !!

Another thought for the greys might be the weather hasn't turned them on just yet into forage mode and your just not seeing them because it's been so warm and they're not moving much ?? Just a thought..

It was like a science fiction movie, with a dozen traps baited with peanut butter in the first night I stopped counting at 2:00 am when I got to thirty and they still kept coming in and running all over, damaged lots of paper products and we had to strip all bedding and towels and wash them in Clorox....NASTY little bastards.... I spent a day replacing screen in my windows where they chewed through and entered...

Just disgusting behavior !!

I don't have grey's near me but last year was a boom year for mice and chipmunks; might just be a very down cycle for the species as mother nature does. 2020 I couldn't keep the mice away last year and they even ate holes through my screen windows and entered at night....it was like an invasion of them in mass numbers...

And if I get bored I can always come here and banter with the Biden supporters (diminishing numbers daily) and left wingers; if that gets boring I jump onto the COVOD, mask and vaccine debates and enjoy the "facts" brought to those discussions.... Gotta go tie some flies and get READY for fall !!

I never really feel fully ready as there are so many chores for camp that need completion, I also trap so that gear needs prep, I used to run 4 dogs and waterfowl hunt, bow and muzzle hunt still right into regular season ends. If all that wasn't enough I tie salmon/steelhead flies and drag the drift boat to the Salmon River to play for a while. By the middle of December my truck looks and smells great from all the gear and dirt accumulated.... Maybe some year I'll scale back and only follow one season..................nah....fall is just too dam short for all the fun !! Not being ready is some of the fun now.....

At least near me the apple trees have fruit only every few years; not sure why but is definitely cyclic in nature. This year the trees are loaded, but the apples are very tiny and starting to drop. Shortly the bears will invade the old orchard and strip the trees barren seemingly overnight. The trees are changing and the season is around the corner.....

Very different people they both come in contact with......

I gather that some segment hate Trump so much that if he were to bring blankets to the homeless they'd bitch the thread count wasn't high enough.....

I'm pretty sure the Chef's clients are a ways different than your "clientele" Buckmaster !!!

When Don Jr. has the track record of Hunter Biden, please get back to us... "come on man" lets all get some ice cream and hide in our basements.....we have a senile old head of a corrupt family in charge and a braying idiot in waiting.... Fact: Trump is a classless public speaker, yet he did more for American than others have done, take away his "shoot from the lip" tweets, comments and childish actions and move on in life..... Rant over !!

"this is your captain, we're sorry for the aborted take off and sudden stop, we will be returning to the gate as it appears that our engine ingested a immature eagle" Dear Captain, I guess that was the sound we ALL HEARD, then the clamping of butt cheeks and smell of burning feathers. This right after 9/11 flying restrictions were lifted....Can't imagine the THUD a bear would make at speed.....

Your observations are "right on", some years I have beech nuts, apples (old abandoned farm land) or choke cherries. The deer are very nomadic and very hard to pattern in the deep woods.... I'm in the Western part of Hamilton County and the allure is remote hunting and hope for light snow for tracking. I can go all season and not lay eyes on another hunter of sign of anyone being around me....

They are a true predator and meat eaters...impressive their strength and beauty...

Welcome aboard here! Please check out the forum section here on backwoods hunting, there is a group of us that hunt the remote Adirondacks and info is shared. There is a learning curve for North and one needs a willingness to put in the miles. Best of luck this fall and get out there after them and enjoy a nice day in the woods remote from the world.....

Best wishes and hopes for a full and speedy recover for all !!

One time flying out of Ketchikan the takeoff was aborted due to an eagle being ingested in the jet engine.. Wild country in Alaska...

I'd check to make sure everything on your bow is tightened correctly and nothing has broken or shifted from place...

I feel your pain, I used to write policy and procedure manuals for a sheriff's office; hardest part was dumbing it down to possibly cover any idiot's "what if" they may encounter on patrol. A few idiots had zero problem solving skills, no idea how to research anything or be bright enough to ask. Always ended with contact your superior office or shift commander for assistance.....

The general lack of common sense and lack of totally ability to problem solve is astonishing !! Back in the 80's when I hiked, climbed and camped in the Adirondack High Peaks in all seasons one better be totally prepared for any eventuality or it was solely on you! I remember a night one spring when a buddy and I "camped" out on the East side of Giant in a freak spring ice storm. We weren't fashionable but had enough sense to hunker down and had basic supplies to survive the night and slide our way out in the morning wearing wool pants and using an ice axe..... Blows my mind and I hope someday it doesn't end in a disaster and cost innocent lives.
