No doubt. Sorry about the person you knew.

Raven, I like you. I would certainly hike with you. But I disagree with you. Let's forget about 300 years ago. There are more bear in NJ now (vs. "none" 75 years ago) because habitat has improved (grass, gardens, trees, ponds, garbage cans, woodlands, open spaces, limited hunting, etc.)...

I think there are species and areas where that's the case, like cougar in California or Woodcock here. I don't believe it's a valid argument in most of the northeast with bear, cougar, eastern coyote and deer as these were virtually extirpated (or non-existent) 100 years ago. I believe a lack...

We have never gone back to the cute Diner, across from the library, in Littleton. Maybe we need an "Avoid" list also. :eek:

Baiting is an allowed hunting method where populations need to be reduced. That area of New Jersey has had too many bear for a long time.

I participated with my Sierra Designs tent, which did very well, but is not for above treeline. There were many Eureka! tents on Rainier in 2008. I have preferred free standing, double wall tents. I don't like the idea of a tent that is not freestanding as it is critical and may be difficult...

http://www.newstimes.com/news/science/article/Hiker-s-body-found-in-New-Jersey-nature-preserve-5771460.php I'm sure many more hikers are harmed by allergies and car accidents, so I'm not saying Black Bear are dangerous. But this can happen, obviously. My only analysis is that they probably...

absolutely some grey streaks (that are not clouds) visible in western ct in a perfectly clear night.

Anything that contributes (voluntarily) to the legitimate expenses, (hmmm...) I'll support.

That's reopened as something different now. Since the fire or water or whatever happened there. A little too upscale for me the last time.

We must have seen you ! This would sync to your pic ! See the video here (if you can - let me know - It ends with what would be your pic) : Here's a loon with youngsters on Umbagog in August:

I don't mean to make light of the OP, this just looked like a good opportunity to share a couple recent pics from Streeter Pond, Sugar Hill.

There is another...

Seems healthy here:

I just noticed that the original one was started 5 years ago (Thanks TwinMom+1 !). I was going to go through the responses, make a list and make a survey, but enough has changed where that probably doesn't make sense. Also, I'd like a survey of best "Immediately After Hiking" dining and getting...

so many snappy responses...so little time.

Yeah, the dog is 30lb and the woodchuck is at least that. This woodchuck has a great spot carved out up under the back of the deck into the yard slope. I've had dogs I would "send in", this puppy isn't one of them. I don't really mind 1, but I don't want more.

Agree. I don't believe in relocation. Thanks.

we've a 'chuck under the deck. dog knows but is always leashed. any issues that you've heatd of? thanks.
