Hope so MOSPARKY 

Yeah on that!

 We are looking at another week of rain and flood, too. 

 Wife and I live on top of the Mississippi River bluff, high and dry as for flooding.

Nothin but rain and tornados here. I think we have about a weeks worth of dry in the last 6 weeks. Plenty of flooding and flash flooding. Doesn't effect me much personally, except the family has a house on the mississippi and nobodies been able to get there this year. It is higher than the levy so all should be good.

Short answer is NO.
No Trees....
In town over the years people have brought in gray squirrels, but there only in town.
We have some kind of Tree squirrels in the mountains but there very small bigger then a chipmunk which we have too and way smaller then the grays in town. We also have flying squirrels and there about like a big chipmunk.

I understand that, D. We also have those tiny flying squirrels, a few left. I don't shoot those, just the fox and grays.


I shoot quite a few and freeze a lot of them. Last week I traded 4 of them for some morel mushrooms, a real good trade.


I reckon your bears go back in during your frequent Spring snows and bet they are really grumpy and hungry when they get out of their dens. And I bet you have to cover enormous amounts of ground to find them, as well as the wolves.

When a bear is seen here, it is quite an event. Did you make it out hunting any last week?
