Yup, looks like 14's.


Freakin' cold out and I wanted to see how long it would take to start a ferro rod\natural materials fire. About 5-6 minutes I'd guess. I had 2-3 good flame up starts, only to crap out. I finally nurtured a teeny flame into a fire with some babying. Not bad for no feathers etc. I didn't get to play with my hatchet which was a bit of a bummer, oh well, a bare bones minimal tools fire in the cold was the goal. I'm not worried about dulling the arse end of a decent sized blade, in a pinch, plenty of cutting surface left. Someone hung a deer hide in a tree, kind of different....... I was eyeballing the hillsides for arrowheads or buff skulls, but found nothing.




Easy to see were rabbits spend time, the spot is almost always under a bit of brush, rounded and slightly melted, I might have scared this one off







Bunny country

Nice pics, did you set up any snares for the bunnies? :)

No bud, I've been wimpy. It's has been unusually cold here for many weeks. But the warden is off to visit one of her covens in another town for the weekend, tonight. I told her that when she's gone I'll whip up a large crock pot of luscious (to me) home baked beans, and have my knives etc. spread out on the living room floor....Which is exactly what will happen.
:D
I kind of don't want to do snares because I feel an ethical obligation to check them daily, which can be a pain in the bean gas release orifice. But I think that I will put some out anyway. I can't stay cooped up in front of CNN all weekend, that's enough to make me open up a friggin' wrist !
:p
I'll take one of the toys to slash down some brush and try to ''funnel'' the little fuzzies.

Today was another moustache icicle day, but it loosens my back up, and I had a little look see.

Yodel dog tracks and a little bit of rabbit sign. Not really encouraging so I'll have to check other areas. Looks like the yotes are working for them also.


Rabbit, too bad it wasn't a heavily used trail.

Deer bed

Tried to light grass with an jewelers loupe that I use for old coins, no go. I couldn't even feel heat when focused on my hand. Sun at too low of an angle at this time of year ? It was semi over cast now and then. I have no answer, the experiment in winter will continue.

Came across some dens to watch

There's a beaver refrigerator under this pond, these are often dangerous places to walk around. I've gone through a couple of times close to shore.

I came across a beast in repose. It continued to feed, but soon became aware of my presence. It's threatening posture told me to beat a hasty retreat.

 
Lol, cool post man, If a squatch is wearing 14's its got to be a juvenile!
