it’s like summer today south of the Driscoll bridge .

long range forcast looks to now be shaping up for an early spring here .

Shallow flats may actually see some activity for the 3/1 opener

Inch of hard packed ice on North slopes won’t go away

Bobcat is definitely using it nose as it goes along the trail.  He didn’t see exactly where it went, but it went right to the hole under the deck  scent tracking. Thought that was interesting. Didn’t know for sure how much scent  tracking they did.

Definitely enough cats around here to have a season. At least give out a few lottery permits or something.

What is the protocol for accidentally trapping one?  Do you open the door and the run right out or does the state come out and study them?
