I'm about to punch ole Santa in that fat red beak of his. January...50 degrees? & no snow! What up wit dat? :doh2:
We have been having some crazy weather here in New Hampshire. The last few weeks it has been Arctic below zero weather, and now tomorrow it is going to rain heavily and be in the 40s.
I'm loving it, was 71° here at 1:30 this afternoon... :wink:
I went out on the Mississippi river and wondered if I was gonna make it back. :sad3:

Getting cold out here, had to put on my long sleeve shirt to sit on the patio for my morning coffee.

Really...you promise? I was talking to a woman 2 days ago. She also seen a lion cross the highway last Summer. Right in front of her. Same focal area, 3 other sightings occurred last Summer/Fall. We did have 3 different snows already, but they melted fast. Or drifted then melted fast. I hunted that area hard = 0. As well as where the other sightings occurred in the last 13 months. Big FAT 0 for sign. When my day finally comes I'm going to kill that cat twice.
Well I guess you could pack some sandwich's and go wait for 'em to walk by! :confused: You'll appreciate the warmer weather then! We gotta take it as it comes. :laf:

It would probably takes a semi load of sandwich's waiting. Here is the last track I've seen. I can't remember now if this was last Spring or the previous Fall. I've had a mild stroke & my memory sucks.

That little icon isn't me. I only have 1 toof weft.
Appears we got around 10" Of course the wind is blowing 30mph :doh2:
I'm still gonna thump Santa, though. He's in cahoots with them evil crows.
I think we got between 6 and 8 inches but it looks like its still comin. Took me an hour to dig my truck out, I know that.

Another banner yr. 1st 3 snows melted quickly. Then the big snow, which blew & drifted. Then melted quickly. I hunted my tail off in the meanwhile. Nothing but fox & coyotes, :doh2: Santa, Murphy & the crows were agin me from the beginning. I never had a chance. In the meanwhile, back eating lead based paint chips on the old winder sill. Awaiting on another? snow
Hang in there. It's a next year kind of country.
We haven't had a tracking snow yet this winter, so I have done other things rather than blind call for cougars on spec. Went to the Oregon beach last week with wife as a sure thing rather than slop around on rainy logging roads here. Keep intending to head east and north till I hit dry snow and lynx tracks but the weather inland is also lousy for hunting and intentions are merely intentions.
This morning I was going to take the wife to see a lake with glaciers above it about an hour's drive from here, but sloppy rain and a cloud ceiling you can poke with a fishing rod put the kibosh on that. Maybe wander to Costco and eat my way through the food samples... :huh: :biggrin:
Take your camera and keep after them.
Okanagan, I'm a long time fox/coyote hunter. Which has nothing....zero...to do with lions. As for understanding their travel behaviors. There lies the rub. I've listened to/observed every sighting I've been told about. Some I know down to the yard. I've made wide intersecting loops & even cut through those search patterns. No sign whatsoever. I will never quit until I succeed or die from old codgers syndrome, whichever. 2 Winters & hundreds & hundreds of miles & not one track. It is as if they know where I hunt. The more I think about the above. I'm now convinced the crows are involved, some how.
Oh here is a kicker. 2 days ago during the big melt. A small town around 30 miles to my SouEast. A friend of a woman I know who lives in the middle of that town. Just happened to look out her window around 0915. There she seen a lion walking right through town. 6+ hrs later I was told of this. So I hauled butt over there. I met her husband & we found the track. Although the tracks were melted bad. No doubt to me it was a lion.
Lady friends
Walking through the middle of town
Sounds more like an old Cougar looking for a man!
Be careful snafu :alscalls:
