Yesterday we had sun dogs to the max from sunrise to sunset which I think must mean something about global warming. Just looked at the long term and it says no above zero temps for another week.

That discussion is found in Hunters of the Northern Forest, by Richard Nelson. I have found it to be surprisingly accurate Mean As Nails

On a Call trapper Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 10,801 S/E Mich - N/W Ohio	Originally Posted By: scotty Broccoli, I bet you I can just use a 4 wheeler and a railroad tie with 8in spikes in it to plow up the garden, throw the seeds out and flip the railroad tie over and drag it around...wonder what kind of grass bears eat...it should be legal to plant on your registered bear stand??? Or just plant a garden and don't worry about it?...don't want to 'bait' illegally...guess they might eat my cabbage? that would be easy...and legal, as far as you know...oh, oh, wonder if govt regulations have something about me having to have a 'fence' around it.... How about sugar beats ? Here the tops get ate durring the season and dug up durring the off season.
