Specifically I once heard that farmers in British Columbia's Fraser Valley occasionally (did/do) run accross dormant sturgeon while ploughing their fields. I wonder now if it's true. I searched the web, but found nothing. Much appreciated if you know anything. Thanks!

Like you, I found no indication that sturgeon can go dormant in that way.  They do become inactive on the bottom when the temperature is cold enough.  If it was a report from somewhere farther south, I would have guessed the farmer found a lungfish, which does become dormant for long periods and can be solidly locked in dried earth without drying up, due to a nasty mucous cocoon they exude around themselves.  No lungfish are native to BC, though.

Your report could read, "small island on the coast of eastern Canada, experiences very high and low tides, is cold, quaint, with a big banking industry and small cove towns. People live there, but I have no idea why! Nova Scotia's claim to fame is that it provides many good subjects for land and sea scapes. Is that terse enough :-)

Well here in NC, I fish all over, but mainly for bass.... Shearron Harris, Kerr, and Falls of the Neuse River up by the Triad are all great for bass, crappie and blue gill as well as catfish at night.  Catfish abound on the Cape Fear River... even up to 60 lbs.... and you can catch stripped bass as well.  Tillery and Wyllie are great out by Ashboro and Charolotte for large and small mouth bass, crappie, bluegill and brim... and an occasional reddress.  The lakes on Ft Bragg are well stocked for catfish and bass... seven lakes total.  Bluette Falls on the Pee Dee River near Rockingham is well know for blue catfish and some pretty good channels too.  Bass are pretty good on the topside of the dam too... especially if you have a boat. The are plenty of trout in the mountain streams and a bunch of great lakes for fishing.  And my last hotspot....the New River along the Virginia line.... smallmouth heaven.

Certainly not an active one that I know about.  It would be really wierd to have one in Port Deposit, since it's right on the shores of the Susquehanna River.\n\nThis area is not known for being geologically active.  Most of that is farther to the west in the Appalachians.

I haven't heard it, but I used to live in the U.P., and I'm glad to be hearing about U.P. events.  And I can just hear the Yooper accent in the name of the event.\n\nThanks.

yes I have, but I was deer hunting.  I had an 8-point out in front of me and some s.o.b pulls up in the field , chases off the deer, just as I am about to shoot.  Man, he pissed me off.  Then he tries to tell me how hunting is wrong, and on top of that, it was private land!

Hydroelectric dams flood large areas of wildernness destroying it. If the area flooded is famrland that area needs to be replaced byt cutting down forests someehwre else. The cold water they trap kills fish. The dam itself prevents fish migration. The sediment trapped behind the dam is a major source of nethane, a potent greenhouse gas.\n\nWind farms kill birds that gt struck by the blades. Hundreds of thousands of birds each year. Wind farms are also a major source of visual pollution and noise pollution.\n\nThe growing of crops for ethanol or biodiesel production requires more petroleum than is rpelaced by the end product. That leads to increased pollution generaly and greatly increased greenhouse gas production.\n\nGrowing crops for biodiesl or ethnaol production requires us to cut down rainforests to produce the farmland. The production of those crops also requires irrigation, which disrputs the flow rates of rivers. It requires the use of synthetic fertilsiers which flow into rivers and oceans, killing coral reefs and causing toxic algal blooms. It reuires the use of pertsicides, with all the npormal environmental problems that causes.\n\nThe environmental effect of most alternative energy sources are negative.

When I was on holiday this summer in Scotland I went to the Island of Muck (I may have spelt that wrong if so Sorry) it is on the west coast.  It was the hottest day in record in Scotland 30C.  We went to a beautiful white sand beach where we found a number of cows some of which were a paddling in the sea with us. Very odd. So, yes I do believe they like to be beside the seaside, in the sea.\nThanks

I found a report regarding fishing in St. John's, Newfoundland.  I hope it helps.

If your talking about chumming, yes it is legal but only for non-game fish ( Catfish, Nile perch, Bow-fin etc. ) the taking of game fish ( Bass, Bluegill, Bream, Sunshine Bass, etc ) is forbidden and you can be heavily fined and your vehicle can also be confiscated if you're caught with game fish.

I hunt three different counties in north ark. , baxter, randolph, and craighead. Not married, no family, so I have alot of hunting time. I assure you the rut is not over. I saw a nice 8+ pt. chasing a doe Saturday, and a 5 or 6 pt. chasing Sunday. Just a little FYI, I have about 10 or so guys that hunt up here in different areas, we were all in agreeance that the rut came in just a little later than normal. Obviously the earliest does may be done but theres always the late ones that are just coming into estrus now, so it should continue for a while. With the massive acorn crop this year the best setup would be around good white oak trees, outside of thickets; where trails converge, or natural funnels. That being said we had two bucks killed on food plots last week mid morning, so if the bucks are running you never really know where they'll be. I'd do a little scouting and try to find where the deer are feeding during the day or traveling to and fro. If your looking for that Big Boy that hides out, dive off into the thickest stuff you can shoot in around where deer are traveling or hanging out. Best of luck to ya!

As space open to the public for hunting shrinks this will most likely become a bigger issue. The vast majority of pheasant hunted in America today are domestically reared. There are almost no wild pheasant left. Are these pheasant treated any less humanely than the millions of chickens consumed by Americans every year? I don’t think so. At least the pheasants enjoy a little freedom. \n\nAlso stocking trout is common everywhere—isn’t this a form of hunting?  \n\nToday there are more ducks than ever in history because “Ducks Unlimited” a private hunting club, has purchased important properties to protect the wild ducks' flyways. Are they wrong to then hunt some of these ducks—I don’t think so.\n\nI am not sure about hunting larger domestic/wild game. I suppose it depends on how they are treated and if they are  humanely hunted in a relative free environment. If it’s shooting fish in a barrel I am against it.\n\nAs for Rooster fighting, bear baiting, dog fighting and such, I am against them because the animals are generally kept in awful conditions and the animals are allowed to maul each other and suffer great pain just for the thrill of it. It brings out the worst in man and beast. Hunting on the other hand is as old as man.\n\nPS. I would tend to agree with you that a guaranteed outcome would indicate that the animal was not given enough free range. I am against any kind of caged hunting and I guess that might include small ranches with game-fences.

Can this realy be true that there is an antifreeeze chemical for animal drinking water ?\nI doubt it. I am not a farmer, but I know that they simply keep the animal drinking vessels protected from the weather.\n\nI admit to not being an expert.

a few counties from me is Lake Dexter, one of the largest man- made lakes in Wisconsin. It wasn't the largest when they built it, but it grew on its own and now you can't even see from one side to the other! i don't know if there's an exact size or anything because it's still growing. i'm sure if you look it up on-line, you'll find out more. all i know is that it's great for fishing, swimming, boating, and ice fishing.
