We got out to the edge of the 100 Mile Wilderness today for a hike up to a 2000' mountain with some beautiful views but no signs of any anomalous critters. It's nice older growth forest which has not been cut in over 100 years. (There is a new class b incident report from mid October about 45 miles away for the crow. Coincidentally, it is in exactly the same area I was eying up for a recon 2 weeks ago.) Saw 2 red fox, the first curled up roadside and apparently injured but we watched it trot off with a slight limp and quickly catch and eat something in a field--looks as if it'll manage. Passing one of the 3 ponds on the way up: Distant sunbeamed obvious older cut: From the summit: Some great light and scattered snow from last night:

I want to go home for Christmas.

Ok - that time of year is here/approaching. What reasonable items do you have on your lists that maybe the missus or kids might grab for you? Can be fairly big or small and practical? I got some new wool merino socks from Bass Pro when I picked up my new Duck books awhile ago. That'll definitely be a stocking stuffer my kids will grab for me. Ive also asked for a couple of the MeatEater cookbooks by Steve Rinella.

You could have saved me a lot of typing by just stating you are a JREFer. I thought I was having a legitimate conversation.

Are you suggesting there aren't or haven't been a large number of hunters/outdoorsmen out and about over the last 200-300 yrs willing to take the shot? Not sure how the cougar analogy is a strategy that applies to Bigfeet hunting please elaborate. Yeah BFRO never heard of it LOL.....Bigfeets continent wide distribution but still nothing, just more stories, they are good evidence of a social construct/myth making but nothing more.
