Big Sam trapper B Joined: Aug 2012 Blackduck Minnesota	Originally Posted by Bob Jameson I also remember vividly my first ghog up high in a tree. It was so high I thought it as a coon that was sleeping in the tree crotch way up high. I had to look very hard at the hair color and texture. So much in fact, I went back to my truck to get my binoculars to be sure. I saw my first while squirrel hunting when I was about five years old. I was really mad that my dad wouldn't let me shoot the giant squirrel.

Heard a bunch of noise in a mulberry tree and couldn't believe my eyes. Sucker was searching for any mulberries that hadn't been eaten....didn't care about me watching at all.

When we got within 50 yards they would alert and jump straight off. Once roundup became the herbicide of choice it killed most of the woodchucks food source and we didn't have near as many burrows in the vineyard. Now they live on the edges of the vineyard/woods mostly. and will climb the trees more than the grapeposts NYSTA, NTA, FTA, life member Erie county trappers assn.,life member Catt.county trappers
