    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Absolutely that can happen and that was the first thing I though of. The thing that puzzles me is it seems very unlikely anything is going to drag a beaver up a mountain. I did a google map search of the area and the river is definitely at least 1.5 miles if not more downhill from that location.

    Study: Hunters Die After Consuming CWD-Infected Venison

    If so it would be due to CWD. It’s been in some states for well over 20 years and life goes on as usual.

    Upon further thought and research, I believe Fred is correct. It is a beaver. With the nose area deteriorated and no lower jaw, it threw me off. But this suggests it is a beaver. What continues to puzzle me is it was found up in the mountains up high. The closest water that I know of is a couple...

    Found this out in the woods this morning while scouting for another place to squirrel hunt. Anyone know what this fanged critter might have been. Some serious choppers. Badger? Saber tooth Groundhog? No water in a the area for miles so it can’t be a beaver.

    Study: Hunters Die After Consuming CWD-Infected Venison

    Indeed, NB, CWD is factual but as of now, not one credible bit of evidence has been brought forward to substantiate it has caused deaths in humans from consuming the meat. It might happen but until it does, I’m not buying the fear mongering. I’m also of the opinion that if it does happen that...

    Study: Hunters Die After Consuming CWD-Infected Venison

    Yup, until it’s a proven fact, and/or becomes more wide spread, I’m not buying it. As it is now, if anyone wants to be concerned about meat, they should look at all the chemicals listed on tags attached to bags of feed for beef, chickens and pork. That doesn’t include all the injections they...

    Get your deer tested

    We already had threads like this. Ain’t buying it. So far, there has not been the first proven case that could happen. Until it’s proven, then I’m not concerned. Don’t shoot sickly looking deer if you plan on eating it. I find it interesting that there’s people out there that sell test kits...

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Traps aren’t doing the trick here. I have 4 of them out. They walk up to it, or very close to it, then keep moving along. There’s so many buds and other things for them to eat for being so early in the year. The squirrels are still digging in the ground and finding old nuts from last year as...

    Yes sir. I don’t understand it. There’s many den trees in close proximity yet they feel the need to chew holes in facia boards and get into attics.

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Two days ago I got a call from a friend. She asked me if I would help her get rid of a bunch of squirrels. They are in her attic, chewing holes in facia boards, in between the ceiling and roof on her front porch, and all over her yard. Went over and checked things out. Yup, she has a squirrel...

    I haven’t forgotten about it. In fact, I was thinking about it again last night. A few days squirrel hunt somewhere certainly located (for most of us). It’s in the works. Going somewhere tomorrow to scope it out.
