I have the same misfortune. I trap fisher every year 100 feet from my deck, I've killed a hammer whitetail 200 yards from my deck, I regularly chase bears from my yard, watch moose browse my dogwoods, can get a limit of walleye in five casts within 2 miles of the house, watch lynx stroll across my lawn, etc etc etc. It is the pits.


Fishing isn't the best locally but it is a short jaunt to the mountains for good fish'n. I don't know how to gut and skin a animal without tractor assistance. Its unfortunate I forgot what it feels like to be bent over like a dog humping a football anymore because all hunting is done in tractor range. Can't forget the marten, fisher, squirell, beaver, muskrat and lynx on the line. Shooting beaver on the lake is great fun.
