Alan, Thanks for that good information, you mentioned stuff I wasn't aware of. Probably saved me some money and aggravation.

The closest I ever came was when I was camped in my canvas wall tent next to Pine Creek here in Pa The tent has no floor and any critter can easily pass under the canvas wall into the tent. Just as I was about to fall asleep I remembered This area is know for rattle snakes. Suddenly I was wide...

Seeing Al's post reminds me of the time I was up on the New York AuSable River and hooked a large brown trout to bad to let go so I took him back to the camper to cook up for dinner. Believe me you do not want to fry a large trout in a truck camper. I had the privilege of living with that...

When it comes to cleaning and eating pan fish I have only had large bluegill. They 're a bugger to clean but one of the best eating. I've never cleaned perch. How did you cope with the bones? Broth looks really good .

Well done Cooper ! A shed in that condition is hard to find. Great picture.

Outstanding. Great picture. Looks like you will not have to go very far for these years deer meat.

Beautiful pictures. This is a very nice day trip that I made a few years ago. Sorry to say my pictures were not as good as yours. Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad everything worked out for you. The cabin on the lake looks very inviting, I think I can see one in my future. Well done.

It's been a while since I heard about the Savage 24. I had one back around 1968. It was 222/20ga that I got for turkey. Problem was you couldn't hit the broad side of the barn with it. It just shot everywhere so I pawned it for something else. Although it was a nice handling gun.

Great job! Enjoyed your post with my morning coffee, great way to start the day. I enjoyed the pictures of the river but especially liked the picture of the white pine. Very few things survive that long.

Well done, waiting to enjoy the next report.

It would be very rare but, I would think if I had to be on the water after dark my head lamp would qualify.

Wow!! I'm at a loss for words. Thank goodness you got out Ok. I feel for the people of the North country, I fear for what the future holds for these people.

July 23, 2026 New York DEC is closing several campsites in the St Regis Canoe Area due to a nuisance bear. DEC says paddlers should avoid the Western and Northern shores of Long Pond and avoid sites 5 thru 11. The bear has been approaching people looking for food and exhibiting minimal...

Alan, I believe you are correct that Rabies is on the rise. The reason the Game Commission told me not to shoot a rabie victim in the head was the virus lives in the head and shooting allows the virus to escape .
