Sorry it's been so long since I've posted on here. Too many things going on and my PC fryed lost all my data and I had to get a new PC.
I was reading about the LBL hunt and wanted to tell you all about something I found out this year. Some of you might remember we have a TnDeer.com Opening Day Deer Hunt at LBL every year. Well I had 3 other people with me the day before the season opened and we were scouting. Coming back to Piney Campground in the Tn side we spoted what we thought was a coyote in a cut field less than 40 yards from the road. We watched it though our bincos and took several pictures with digital cameras. We all talked about it might be one of the largest coyotes we ever saw east of the Miss River. But something just didn't look right, the more we looked the more we wondered if it was a coyote then someone said it might be a Red Wolf. Right then it hit me, he was right that was a Red Wolf. Some people have never beleived Red Wolves were in LBL but several people a year report seeing them. Later we took the camera to the Tn check station which was 1/4 mile from where we saw the wolf and showed the pictures to two of the people that worked there and they said yes that was a Red Wolf. They marked it on their map and wrote a report.
I forgot to ask them if it was legal to shoot a Red Wolf during the Feb coyote hunt since in the heat of the hunt it could be easy to mistake one. Someone needs to find out, I never thought about it last year since it had been over 10 years since I had seen one. If I think about it I'll stop by the Welcome Station to find out.
I'll try my best to make it to the LBL hunt this year. I doubt I'll be able to take anything since certain people will be using my secert call from last year. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
