Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[svk]

Moved my outside rack of wood into the furnace room and refilled the rack with the spruce I processed earlier today. This will give the big rounds in this load one last chance to lose some moisture.

There's a over a half cord in here! Once Christmas vacation comes I don't need to leave the house for 5 days if I don't want to!!!

I can post the story over there but I believe no pictures are allowed....

IF that's true, then I, along with some others, have been unknowingly been breaking the rules over there...

I'll double check. I know wolf hunting is way more polarized amongst supporters/anti's then say deer or birds. If I can I will for sure.

What's the yearly limit for wolves up there?

Umm, that's a fake pic right? If not, that thing is massive. I don't consider myself a wuss but I doubt I would be out gathering wood or hunting after dark in MN.

Nope real thing. And the one with me holding it up full body his body was pressed against mine. His butt was still on the ground and his nose was at my chin. With boots I'm 6'

He's closer to the camera in the first shot so makes him look a little bigger. But not much.

Harvest for the entire state is 250. Approx 2500 permits given out (3rd year of wolf season, first time I was drawn). When the quota for respective areas is hit they shut down in that area. Three areas for this season and as of sunset tonight two are now closed.

Damn they must be getting too abundant. Would love to see the horror on someone's face when they hit a 200 pound wolf instead of the common deer with their car. Although I guess a wolf is a hell of a lot smarter than your average deer so that may never become an issue.

Is that little red thing on the bottom right corner a fuel can or fire extinguisher?

Rarely. I only know one person to ever hit one.

I've never seen a wild timberwolf. I am pretty sure I saw a wild red wolf once.

With that said, when I was a kid, one of my friends lived next door to a sled dog racer, he kept two wolves for breeding into his pack. Man, BIG DOGGIES!

I have been up in Yellowstone hunting elk a few times and yes the wolves get very big and at night the howling is very eerie. Especially when your laying in a tent.

Average 100 lbs but can be double that. This guy was about 5 1/2 feet long.

cant wait till may of 15 for the new bear hunt lottery , hunting them in your neck of the woods is a kick azz time!

Next door neighbor set up a trail cam on the upper end of my wood lot. He recorded 13 different black bear coming to his bait barrel. 5 sow's, 3 sets of yearling twins and 2 big boars, whose belly's touched the ground. They are feeding heavily on the acorn mast this year and I have a lot of red oak.

Yikes. A wounded and scared lion sized wolf. No way I would get out and check the damage.

Dog racing in Georgia? You talking about mud sleds?

lol. Please thin nylon tent, protect me from those wolves. I think I would have to sleep up a tree.

Did living in GA and the warmer climate make you soft yet? It's probably only mid 20s outside and I'm freezing lol. I think the summer took my manhood away.
