Went out on a windy New Years day for a few hours hunt. The shed finds have come to a grinding halt, but did manage to find a 7 " snapping turtle shell, which I guess, would be illegal to keep. Through that one back. Continued walking, being driven by the thirst for antler gold and came across a nice old filet knife in it original case. Judging by the rust on the blade, I would guess it was dropped sometime during this past firearms season. A critter had started chewing on the sheath. Not sure why someone would carry this type of knife. One thing I've noticed this year, I'm stumbling onto increase bedding areas. The deer are using heavier leaved areas, which are extremely dry, for this time of the year. Maybe seeing 27 deer, last day of muzzleloader season had something to do, LOL. Known bedding areas, I like to stay out of till March or so. Had some late evening activity in the chicken house. Grabbed first weapon handy, which turned out to be a muzzleloader. Shot my first red fox of the year, chicken in mouth. Nice large prime fox. Something had bitten it's right ear off, and had pellets in it's back, that were turning green. Weighed 9 lbs. I skinned both and through'em in the freezer. Might just make a decent mount someday.

Now this could get interesting.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Cuomo family.

I believe he's already started campaigning to become president of this fine nation, that's going into the toilet. The waters rising and getting ready for the next flush.

Just shot a red fox that was getting in the hen house.

Seriously, Alaska, this time of year. You've got to be a brave soul. Please open a new thread and tell us all about your trip!

Happy New Year! I'll be shedding in the New Year, provided we don't get the lake effect snow storm that's on the horizon.

Is those background posts the start of a new barn? Maybe a shed or two is in your future. Edit: both meanings, LOL.

Congrats! That mink is huge. Any special plans for it?

Don't forget their $10 dollar coupon in the NY Hunting & Trapping guide.

Happy birthday!

Stuck to your business plans, LOL.

Gentle reminder, only a few more days to get your entries posted. Thanks to those who have already posted.

I'm in search of some snow camo coveralls for 3 years now.

These agencies have gain way to much power. It's time these positions become elected by the people, instead of appointed. In past history, they have done some good. Today, they attack companies that have wealth, in order to continue their strive. Residents are so stupid, the agencies blinding light shines in their faces.The communities loose and these agencies don't give a dam!

Nice find! Congrats!

Start up a deer hunting preserve. Get some big bucks and charge 19k for each harvested 200 incher.

Just below the spine and above the lungs. Looks to be another " No Mans Land" shot deer.

Happy Birthday. Looks like you've already had a great day!

Very impressive. Looks far better than laying in a tote. Wish you all the success in future findings!

Actually, their are quite of few American companies still making knives in the U.S... Some new names have hit the market place. Some produce the parts overseas and assembled here, that have made in USA. stamped into the blade.

Sure looks good! Any of your neighbors selling their property? LOL.

A complete loss of an entire business in a matter of minutes can be most difficult to suffer, both mentally as well as physically. I can relate to their tragic loss. My heart and prayers go out to the family and hope they can recover and grow to be better than ever!.

Congrats stubby68! What a wonderful gift. I like Christmas.
