i wish I could hunt off my back porch.

Lol! Thats nothing! We start getting into the single digits....now THATS cold! Infact my first winter up here we spent several weeks with temps in the negatives. It made those single digits feel warm.....

You could come up for hunting season! I know quite a few folks who do lol

Talk about irony. A guy from Texas going to NY to hunt. It looks beautiful though, and I could see some of those Grosbeaks. Sometimes we southerners forget that upstate NY is a lot different than NYC.

[ruthcatrin]

that was my thought too when I saw that. 6am's not that early either.

 

[raechiemay]

Yeah it's not! Wow I'd keep an eye out for that sucker.

 

[Gunny]

You guys have Wolves up there?

 

[ruthcatrin]

No wolves lol. That camera's only about a foot off the ground lol.

 

[raechiemay]

Lol I totally thought it was a wolf too!

 

[ruthcatrin]

If you don't know where the camera was he does look like a wolf! No wolves though. His eye level's not THAT much above the camera's. Good sized coyote though!

I don't think its a coyote his snout is much too large. Tail is wrong as well. Ears are too small and far set.

Go lookup eastern coyote. Its not a wolf. Seriously, the camera's barely 12" off the ground. Coy-dog maybe, wolf no.

 

[allsierra123]

No I don't think its a wolf either. I was thinking some sort of dog.
