This is from yesterday evening in Pa. A few minutes before and after there was nothing. Sunsets at this latitude don't last very long compared to in Ak. where the can last for hours.

Are short barrel shot guns(18.25") allowed in Canada?

I'm happy just to get out in a boat, that guy must be ecstatic.

My cats are very non threatening. They were my Moms and she had them declawed when kittens. I think not having those weapons made them more docile. Unfortunately I don’t think they kill any mice. I’ve caught many in traps since I’ve had the cats but never found a dead mouse.

I’ve always been a little nervous in the bush after watching “Deliverance” I would think you can minimize the risk with a portage or two.

Great TR so far. I like that you included the amount of time along with distance covered. You averaged almost 2.7 mph which I think is very good, especially with that hull. You must not have taken many breaks, if any, and I wondered if you had a tailwind. I'm a Costco chicken expert. I get two...

I considered that Tom, and a quick google search confirmed it. It's not even legal to have a blue jay feather I've found a lot of dead stuff including a bald eagle and a manatee, and knew enough not to take parts of those.

I taught my cat to lean right and lean left today.

Welcome to the site, I like the play on words of your user name.

Thinking about this a little it may have been an opportunity the eagle couldn't pass up. The eagle has the habit of roosting in the trees almost right behind where the kill took place. He goes back in the trees where you can't see him, I assume to rest or sleep. It's possible that when the heron...

I doubt the heron was injured, but you never know. The only thing I’ve seen the eagles eat at my lake were fish, with two exceptions. Years ago my neighbor had a big white domestic duck of his eaten by one. The other was last winter when the lone nesting eagle killed a beaver and pulled it up...

Yeah, the eagles and herons always coexisted on the lake and I had never seen them go after ducks or geese which I would think would be an easy meal. I figured that they preferred fish and didn't hassle the birds and hopefully not my cats. There are new eagles on my lake after one of the nesting...

It's starting to look like fall at 2000' in the Poconos.

My place in Pa is a wildlife magnet, with beaver, otter, eagles and deer almost daily sightings, along with regular coyote howls and yips. A friend who was visiting yesterday sitting on my couch saw a heron coming in for a landing across the lake. A few minutes later he asked what that white...

It sounds like he won’t have a problem carrying it, I was thinking more about paddling it. It shouldn’t be a problem until there is wind and/or waves, for safety reasons.

The easier a boat turns the less energy it takes to get back on track. I’ve wondered if this could be an energy saver compared to a straight tracker. My guess is it would, more so for single side paddling than hit and switch.

Sorry about your brother Darrell. If your Grandson doesn't have any canoeing experience you should think about getting him some instructional books or videos at the least. That's a big boat to just go out there and wing it.

Yeah, bending forward at the hips is better description then just leaning forward. It's what enables friction to hold the pack in place. You will have better results with a canvas pack and a natural fiber shirt than you will with a nylon pack and a nylon jacket, I. would think.

The problem with getting older as a canoeist is that big canoe are easier getting in and out of because of their stability and potentially higher seats, but big canoes can be too heavy. So far my composite Seliga at 40 lbs is light enough and is stable. I still mostly paddle my w/c boats but can...

Sorry to hear that jdeerfoot. The advice I would give to someone trying out a tump is to adjust it on the long side and shorten it as needed. If it's too short it will put too much weight on your head at first Have it loose enough that you can barely get any weight on it. As you lean forward...
