Kind of a crock pot thing ;-) We were hunting on the Eastern shore and the guy who owned the farm made a decent stew with some stuff we shot. It cooked all day tho. He started it over a propane burner and cooked it over a Sterno can after it got going. This was off the grid camping. There was a house, such as it is but no power, water or heat. We did that 2 nights until I declared an emergency and took them all to a motel, my treat. It ended up being dirt cheap since this was basically inland of Ocean City in the winter. I did the same thing to the "campers" in the keys. We figured out we could rent a damned house for what we were paying for 3 camping slots and all of the extra add ons they charged. With rabbit, we would bread, fry and eat. With squirrel, we would bread, brown, put in Dutch oven for a couple hours, and eat. |

Woodchucks and nutria may be hunted throughout the year, including Sundays. Hunters must wear fluorescent orange while hunting woodchucks. All hunting devices legal for other game animals may be used to hunt woodchucks and nutria. If that is actually what they are shooting, I agree it is helpful.

Of course deer were few and far between there over 40 years ago too.

The woodchucks are the ones I didn't see and deer used to be scarce 40 years ago. I did have the other ones you mention behind my house in Clinton. I finally just gave up on the raccoons. I caught them and drove them miles away but I think they beat me home. I suppose the reality was, through the woods I was not really going that far away. I just made a container for the trash cans. I have one here too. If they can't knock the can over, they don't seem to be able to get in a Brute can if the top is on tight but the trash men have trouble too. The only thing I have killed here are rats, bugs and a water moccasin that was going after my dog. |

Our idea of camping is a hotel suite that doesn't have a king sized bed and a separate seating area. She does want a creek out back tho. That is why we switched to renting houses. |

Did the tent bit with motorcycles. Now we're into glamorous camping. Your camping counts as, well... camping. "Camping is an outdoor recreational activity. The participants leave urban areas, their home region, or civilization and enjoy nature while spending one or several nights outdoors, usually at a campsite. Camping may involve the use of a tent, caravan, motorhome, cabin, a primitive structure, or no shelter at all." Our idea of camping is a hotel suite that doesn't have a king sized bed and a separate seating area. She does want a creek out back tho. That is why we switched to renting houses. Ditto. We'll soon "camping out" at a nice oceanside hotel in south Florida. We'll have the Atlantic Ocean out back, along with a couple of pools. Five or six restaurants in the hotel, plus seafood, Cuban, and Greek restaurants a short drive away. We are more like a cabin in the mountains http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Oregon/Mt%20Hood/Cabin.jpg |
Now I am pissed ...

They can be mean... last time I was in Tuscon, the locals warned me about the ones down there. They said to watch out, especially at night. You didn't want to surprise or corner them. Mr Ed tried to **** one in the scrub. It was funny to watch and the hog wasn't sure how to deal with it. In the end they ran away. Mr. Ed's lucky he didn't get a nose bit off. I was worried myself but they run hogs with dogs down here and they were so interested in getting the hell out of there his love making was cut short. He drove them out of the woods and when they saw us they stopped. That was when Ed picked the pretty one and went full on "squeal like a pig for me". It was only about 10 seconds but it was certainly a thing to see. I'll bet it was funny as hell. There are some youtube vids of dogs fighting groundhogs. Dogs won in the ones I saw, but it wouldn't take much for a dog to get badly bitten. Don't get confused, this was a 150-200 pound porker. They do still bite tho. If they have the chance they'll do more than merely bite. They'll maul you... |
