So you trapped? I'm just learning how, and only caught one raccoon and seven muskrats this year so far. The beaver are still calling me, though. I also shot my first two deer this year. That was great! All this was possible because we just recently moved to the country from a big city. I'll be checking back here I'm sure. Hi, just checking out your blog. So you trapped?

I'm glad you have the memories, though. Wish my boys could have had that kind of childhool. God bless! That is one bittersweet story, Scott. I’m glad you have the memories, though.

The earth <B>is</B> the Lord's and He gives to whom will keep His covenant. In due season if we will not loose heart or give up in weariness or mocking cynicism, we will see new beginnings of restoration for the land. May God give us the courage and humility to persevere.

I hate going back to where I grew up for this reason. The developments are depressing. I personally don't understand how people can live in such places. My neighbors are half a mile and a mile away. They're good neighbors, but a bit close. The big male black bear is closer at about 300 yards up the mountain. We too respect each other's boundaries. That is sad.

It is great to have such wonderful memories of your old stomping grounds! In western MA/Connecticut River valley area(where my dad and his family are from), they are doing the same thing with the most beautiful, fertile farmland... They are selling to the highest bidder and building condos all over the place. Hopefully, people will wake up before they destroy all the gorgeous farmland across America. It is just sad...
