Hope you enjoyed!!   :biggrin:

  Nice ride :bowingsmilie:.  I see some of them things here :wink:, them geese can stay there for a spell yet.  Is someone in the gate house all day?  I'd call coyotes off the bait pile I had 120yds away if it were my job. :innocentwhistle:

Those damn geese are everywhere Barry. They don't even go South for the winter anymore. Wish we could shoot em like groundhogs around here.  :biggrin:

Last I knew they checked the Gatehouse twice a day.  :shrug:  There are probably coyote tracks on that bridge too.

Nice pictures.  I especially like the gatehouse one and the bridge-over-the-pond one.

Thanks Dave. I think the bridge pic is cool too. I like the high rise rat hut on the stump too.  :laf:

Yeah, that's a good pic, too.  I never knew what they were til a few years back.  They're all over the place down on the Jersey salt flats.  I used to trap em, too, as a kid.  But all w/conibears on creek banks.

That looks like spring up here :yoyo:

There must be 40 huts on the shallow end of the lake. We only got a few pics of them. I thought that one was the coolest.  :laf:

I bet it does Jim!! Just add another 3-4" on top & you'll be up to speed with what those pics look like now. It's -1 this AM & I can tell ya this much,, those pics aint getting updated this weekend.  :nono: :nono:

Neat pictures.  Do you know why the flag is at half mask?  Are there many more of those Black Antlerless Moose around?

Jerry

The flag does appear to be at 1/2 mst but I don't know why.  :shrug:  We have those Black moose everywhere you look around here Jerry. The darned pastures are literally overrun in some areas. I think if the farmers would drop the fences they could get rid of a bunch in the winter as they would head south. As it it now tho they can't jump the fences so they get trapped in. Personally I wouldn't hut them that way. I don't do canned hunts.  :noway:


:laf: :laf:

Yeah, but you'd do canned beef moose.
:laf:

Yum, yum!  :biggrin:

Great pics!  Hamer, that high rise muskrat hut built on top of a stump is the most fascinating to me.  The stump must be hollow, and the rat put a roof on it.  Smart muskrat.

 :nono:  VV!! I ahve a supplier for moose meat now.  :yoyo: :yoyo:  It's a Canada direct supplier.  :biggrin:

Thanks Ok!! But I have to admit once again that Diane took the pictures.  :biggrin:  I thought the same thing about the tree stump hut & how all the other rats are going around looking for a stump to call their own now after having dinner & drinks in that one.  :laf: :laf:

Down on the Eastern Shore of Maryland they call Muskrats,( Muskrabbits ) and now I think I know why because they live in a Highrise and jump into them.  :laf:  :laf: cc

 :laf: :laf: @^^^^!!

Great pictures Glenn, I enjoyed the ones of the muskrat dens.  They were the first animals I ever trapped as a young man.  Also like the bridge, nothing like that up here.
