Proposed Fish & Game License FeeIncreases Announced_________________

See inside back page for our

Annual Sale!

Be Safe This Summer!

Hunting and fishing license fees would increase in 2016 under aproposal from the N.H. Fish and Game Department. The increas-es were authorized by the Legislature to fill a $1.2 million hole inthe Department’s proposed budget for this biennium. They wouldtake effect January 1, 2016. On August 12, the N.H. Fish andGame Commission approved moving forward with the rule-mak-ing process.

“The proposal is out for public comment, but the question is notwhether to raise prices, but which prices should increase and byhow much,” said Fish and Game Executive Director GlennNormandeau. “The Legislature is counting on this new revenue tokeep the Department going. We’ve already cut costs as much aswe can without reducing services to sportsmen and women.”

Normandeau pointed out that while costs have gone up over thepast twelve years, license prices have not. Basic hunting andfreshwater fishing license fees have not increased since 2003.

Public hearings on the proposed fee increases will be held at 6:30p.m. on these dates:

September 30, 2015 - N.H. Fishand Game Department, 11Hazen Drive, Concord

Under the proposal, regularhunting and fishing license feeswould increase by $10.Resident freshwater fishinglicenses would go from $33 to$43; hunting licenses from $21to $31; and combination hunt-ing/fishing from $44 to $54.Annual hunting and fishing per-mit fees for nonresidents wouldalso increase by $10. One, threeand seven-day fishing permitfees would not change.

Residents who reach their 68thbirthday after January 1, 2016,would pay an annual fee of $10for a fishing license or combi-nation hunting and fishinglicense. These licenses are cur-rently free. Residents who are68 before January 1, 2016, willbe eligible for a free license.Permits for turkey, bear andpheasant would continue to bepurchased by all those over age68.

Resident hunting and fishingguide permits would increasefrom $59.50 to $100. Permitsfor non-resident guides wouldgo from $200.50 to $350.

Various miscellaneous permitswould also increase, from spe-cial permits for taking addition-al deer to recreational lobsterpermits. See a complete list ofthe proposed Fish and Game feeincreases at wildnh.com/fund-ing/fg-value.html.

“While no one likes to seeprices go up, these licenses arestill the best deal around: Youget a full year of outdoor recre-ation, fish or game for dinner ifyou’re successful, and theknowledge that you’re support-ing the work that conserves theresource and makes theseopportunities available foryourselves and future genera-tions,” said Normandeau.“We’ll continue working withthe Legislature on long-termfunding solutions for theDepartment. In the meantime,these moderate increases arenecessary to avoid making sig-nificant cutbacks in Department

services.”

Written comments will beaccepted through October 9,2015. Send to:[email protected](use “Fee Increase” in subjectline); or write to ExecutiveDirector, N.H. Fish and GameDepartment, 11 Hazen Drive,Concord, NH 03301; or fax to603-271-5829.

A notice detailing the specificFish and Game rule languagethat would change as a result ofthis proposal will be posted onthe Fish and Game website inearly September.

For more information on Fishand Game’s funding situation,visit wildnh.com/funding

This is a progress update on thedog park that will be built inNewbury, Vermont in the veryshort distance future.

Fundraising has been very, veryslow and that is affecting theability to get some of the dogpark under construction.

There have been other construc-tion issues as well and hopeful-ly, those can be resolved in thenext few weeks so constructioncan start.

The dog park is going to bebuilt in three different phases,as it totally depends on mone-tary contributions, fundraisers,and other mechanism of raisingfunds. We will be having sever-al fundraisers on-going over thenext few months and we trulyhope that the public will sup-port the dog park. There is nooff-leash, fenced, dog parkwithin 35 mile radius ofNewbury, VT.

The average amount of moneynecessary for any dog park to

be built and maintained runs inthe area of $50,000 to $75,000and beyond. Zoning permits arerequired as well as other stateand federal regulations that canaffect the dog park building.Heavy duty equipment and con-tractors have to be hired.

Building a dog park is a com-plex project but in the end cangreat benefits to those users ofthe parks.

Those wishing to donate to thedog park can do so by sendingtheir donation to:OMDP • 241 Benton RD •North Haverhill, NH 03774orcredit card donation at:www.justgive.com chooseOscar's Memorial Dog Park asthe charity

Those wishing to volunteertheir services at fundraisers cansend an e-mail to:[email protected] andrequest a Volunteer Profilesheet or send a request to theaddress just above.

“Incessantly scouring the uni-verse (and my back yard) for theweird, the wacky, and thethoughtful so you don’t have to.”

Starting off on a down note, Ihave been officiating weddingsfor over eleven years, and forquite a while, every wedding wasa first (first time on horseback,first time on top of a mountain,first time in a gondola car, etc.).There are still more coming, I amsure, but recently, I had a first Idon’t want to remember. Theshort of it is I never transferredmy meeting notes to my calendar,so when the call came askingwhere I was at 9:55am, and Irealized I was scheduled for a10am wedding - ruh-roh! I wasthere in half an hour and donatedthe wedding, but was I embar-rassed! I couldn’t apologizeenough. A first (and I hope) and alast. It worked out, but...!

So how come all of Jack Link’sjerky eaters can always so easilyfind Sasquatch but the profes-sional hunters on TV can’t? (Noteven the paragons of huntingexcellence on ‘MountainMonsters’ can.) Maybe if they

tried using a package of the jerkyas bait it would do the trick....

Nothing like a plunging necklineto keep a man on his toes.

There are a bunch of “Like andshare me and get money” postson Facebook. I would never dothat because I read (and taught)“The Monkey’s Paw.” If youremember it, you’ll know what Imean....

Speaking of which, authorities inKentucky said they arrested aman accused of drunkenly tryingto dig up his father’s grave tohelp the nearly-40-year-deadman get to heaven. Michael May,44, whose father, Odell, died in1978, was arrested on charges ofviolating a grave, possession ofmarijuana, and public intoxica-tion. May was discovered dig-ging up a plot by a constablewhose suspicions were piquedwhen he saw May’s car. “I wentback and hollered for him to stepback in the light and he told meto step back to the dark. That’swhen I went and got my flash-light. He started hollering out

[Bible] verses at me. He told mehe was trying to dig his dad up,so his dad could go to heaven.” Wondering how many of mypolitically conservative friendswouldn’t use ProgressiveInsurance simply because of itsname....

Why does researching a basicpoint and shoot camera (nophone) feel like buying a Harley?First of all, there are sooo manychoices each with different fea-tures and options. Here’s a goodcamera, but it doesn’t come witha memory card, cable, battery orbattery charger.... Also, it is inter-esting (to me) how every storesells certain cameras for the sameprice....

When my time comes, someonemake sure to send my computerto the scrubbers that took care ofHillary’s. They did a pretty com-plete job! Thanks in advance.(Just kidding, of course... [aboutsending mine – nothing’s classi-fied].)

Just in case you wondered,according to the Bible(Deuteronomy 23:1), “He that iswounded in the stones [we’re nottalking about rocks here], or hathhis privy member cut off, shallnot enter into the congregation ofthe LORD.” Careful!

One town in Spain has the rightidea: Last month, the mayor ofthe town of Ador officially enact-ed into law what had merely beencustom — a required afternoonsiesta from 2 to 5 p.m.Businesses were ordered to close,and children were to remainindoors (and quiet). [The Local(Madrid)] At my age, that’ssomething I could get behind!

A mummified monk in Mongoliabecame the latest religious figurewhose followers insist he is notdead but living in a meditativetrance. Dr. Barry Kerzin, amongwhose patients is the Dalai Lama,

called the state “tukdam.”Scientists attributed the monk’spreserved condition toMongolia’s cold weather. [BBCNews]

Part 3 – The person of size(POS) angrily kicked me off herproperty in front of my familyand friends because of four littlewords I muttered to my wife. Idid quietly leave and went homeand felt terrible. I called a friendand told him, “I really stepped init now!” After our conversation, Isat down at the computer to writean apology because, of course, Iwas wrong; I always am in herworld but... something didn’t feelquite right. Why would there besuch an explosive response to myfour words? Last column I calledmy words “terrible, horrible, nogood, very bad,” but were they?My actual words were, “Shespoke to me,” and that’s what sether off. It didn’t make any sense!

Before I began drafting my apol-ogy, I started looking up thingslike ‘angry women,’ manlywomen,’ and ‘women with testi-cles.’ As way led on to way, Iended up with an epiphany (no, Ididn’t get any on me)! Suddenly,everything over the past 29 yearsfell into place and made absolutesense! What I learned is that whathappened had absolutely nothingto do with what I said. It was aconvenient catalyst. (To be con-tinued....)

I would also add I tell this storyas I have entered the 30-seconds-or-30-years-left-in-Life phase; Iwant to tell my story just in case.If there is anything you want toknow, ask me. When I met some-one recently and I said there isonly one person I have activeissues with, the person said, “Iknow – she told me.” I can onlyimagine what she said.... Later.

Occasionally, the conflict aboutwhether dogs should beallowed on hiking trails or notcomes to a head. Lately, itseems, it’s been more of a con-versation point. Sometimes it’sheated. But I don’t believe dogsare the problem. Where theproblem lies is with some of thepeople who hike with dogs.

The other day, while walkingthrough the woods towards theend of a hike, a lone man hearsbarking. In the distance, threesmall dogs come running upahead of a group of ninewomen. They snapped andsnarled at the man, and whilethey didn’t attack, they alsowouldn’t let him move.Eventually, the women caughtup with their dogs and smiled atthe man and then the entiregroup went on their way with-out acknowledging what theirdogs had done.

Earlier this summer a hiker

wrote about a trek up to MountParker. It’s a beautiful, usuallynot very busy place with sub-lime views of the southernPresidentials and of MountWashington. As the fellowneared the summit, a menacingDoberman charged him. Hedidn’t bite the hiker, but hestood his ground and snappedand barked at the man, whoused his trekking poles to fendthe dog off. A woman came rac-ing down the trail to her dogand said, “Oh, he’s fine. Hewon’t bother you.”

I recently received an emailabout a person hiking with herdog on a ninety-degree day withhigh humidity. The dog waswearing one of those large hik-ing packs and panting away.The woman thought nothing ofputting her dog through thestress of those conditions of alengthy hike to the top of a fourthousand foot peak. It wasimportant to the woman that thedog she hikes and lives withgets the peaks done faster thanmost.

Two days ago, on the hottestday of the year, a German shep-herd weighing approximatelyone hundred and twenty poundswas seen being baked by the hotsun in the still air above treelineon a long hike. He was pantingand struggling, but the womanwith the dog said he was justfine, that he likes being out inthe mountains.

Throughout the summer,throughout the heat and humid-

ity, a small group of hikers hastaken to trail running with theirdogs. Trail running is a greatbonding experience, but ifyou’ve seen a trail runner, theyare equipped with small packsand those small packs are most-ly just for carrying water.Unfortunately, these trailer run-ners are heading out for twenty-mile jaunts, often high abovewater sources, with their dogsand little to no water to sharewith them.

When asked about dogs earningpatches and scrolls from theAMC for hiking the forty-eightfour thousand foot peaks in thenon-winter months, but notreceiving them for the exclusivewinter month club, I have oftensaid that dogs are in more dan-ger in the summer than winter.But I’ve also noted that dogsdon’t seem to care about gettingpatches or scrolls. It’s the peo-ple who do.

These mountains are a won-drous place to share adventureswith those we love whetherthey have two feet or four.Unfortunately, far too oftenthose with two feet don’t holdup their end of the bargain.Dogs have been referred to as“man’s best friend” for decades.Wouldn’t it be nice if some hik-ers started treating dogs in thatsame way? And would it benice if people put dogs in aposition to succeed and to enjoya day on the trails? Part of thisis taking responsibility for themand not allowing them to be amenace to other hikers.

Alas, this does not seem to bethe age of enlightenment for thehuman-canine bond. At leastnot for some people. At times, itseems more like the age of enti-tlement and the era of the “littleleague dad (or mom)” whobrags about how great their kid

(dog) is.

There are so many ways toenjoy these mountains, but wemust always be considerate ofothers when in nature. After all,that’s why we go out into thewild, isn’t it? To become morehuman, and maybe a bit morehumane.

By Mark Ellingwood, NH F&GWildlife Division Chief

New England was settled byhunters and trappers; trade inbeaver pelts was a principle formof commerce in New Hampshirefor nearly 150 years. Wild gamewas a critical staple for settlerswho struggled to sustain them-selves in the small openings theyhacked out of our primordialforests. In 1876, a Charlestown,NH, resident was quoted as say-ing, “Hunting, in the infancy ofour country, was the most prof-itable employment of its inhabi-tants.” For early settlers, sur-vival, not science-based wildlifemanagement, was job one.

Unregulated wildlife consump-tion and exploitation eventuallytook its toll. By 1800, numerouswildlife species including bear,deer and moose were largelyabsent from the New Hampshirelandscape. Wildlife populationsthat had formerly supportedsome 5,000 Native Americansdeclined and then collapsedunder the demands of unregulat-ed use by an estimated 184,000settlers. By 1850, expansive landclearing for farming and live-stock grazing had eliminatedimportant wildlife habitat andfurther contributed to the declineof native wildlife. This, coupledwith the commercial exploitationvia market hunting, broughtwildlife populations to new lows.

A New Conservation EthicThe late 19th century gave birthto a new conservation ethic borneof the demise of the “unlimitedbounty” that had greetedEuropean settlers 300 years prior.In New Hampshire, this ethicwas heralded in part by the estab-lishment of New Hampshire’sFisheries Commission in 1865,the precursor to our modern dayFish and Game Department. Thelate 1800s and the early 1900swere formative years. Federallegislation also began to protectour wildlife resources. The

Weeks Act provided for the pro-tection of forestland, includingthe White Mountain NationalForest; the Lacey Act prohibitedthe interstate transport of illegal-ly taken fish and wildlife; and theMigratory Bird Treaty Act was aninternational treaty to protectmigratory birds. These were allreflective of changing societalpriorities.

The birth of modern wildlifemanagement occurred in the1930s with the founding of TheWildlife Society, the preeminentsociety of wildlife professionals,and passage of the Pittman-Robertson Federal Aid inWildlife Restoration Act, whichcreated a critical funding sourcefor state wildlife agenciesderived from an excise tax oncertain hunting equipment.

Science-based ManagementFish and Game’s research, man-agement and enforcement efforts,aided by active public educationand outreach, helped guide NewHampshire’s successful gamepopulation restoration and recov-ery efforts over the past century.Transition of wildlife manage-ment regulatory authority fromthe state legislature to the Fishand Game Department in the late1970s further entrenched scienceas the basis for managementdecision-making.

Over the course of 400 years,New Hampshire’s view ofwildlife had evolved from that ofunregulated exploitation to oneof science-based conservationand management. The restorationof our wild turkey population, therecovery of our deer, bear andmoose populations, the recentrecovery of our bobcat popula-

tion, and multiple nongame suc-cess stories all serve to illustratethe ecological and social benefitsof a properly funded, science-based wildlife managementagency.

A Daunting Future for WildlifeDespite our successes, there is notime to rest, as the future forwildlife is more daunting than thepast. As our human populationgrows, habitat loss represents asignificant and ongoing threat toNew Hampshire’s game andnongame wildlife. Climatechange literally threatens torewrite the book on wildlife dis-tribution, health and abundance.This is particularly true forspecies on the edge of theirrange, where subtle shifts in tem-perature and moisture regimescan have significant adverseimpacts. Moose, at the southernedge of their range in NewHampshire, are a prime example.Shorter winters appear to favoran abundance of winter ticks thatnegatively impact moose produc-tivity and survival. Fish andGame is heavily vested inresearch to better understand theecology and impacts of wintertick on our invaluable mooseresource.

New and expanding wildlife dis-eases constitute an additionalthreat. The rapid and continuedspread of chronic wasting disease(CWD) and the expanding rangeof hemorrhagic disease, both ofwhich affect deer, serve toremind us that wildlife threats arenot static. Thus, Fish and Game’ssignificant annual investments indisease monitoring and ouractive role in the newly formedNortheast Wildlife DiseaseCooperative, which brings

together state agencies and vet-erinary diagnostic laboratories,and provides a wide diversity ofdisease and wildlife expertise toaddress regional disease issues.

A Public Trust ResourceIn North America, wildlife is apublic trust resource; wildlifebelongs to the people and is man-aged on their behalf. Such a sys-tem requires a well-informed andwell-vested public. The commer-cialization of wildlife can under-mine the public trust doctrine byprioritizing commercial interestsover broader public interests.Disease issues associated withthe national proliferation of com-merce in deer serve to illustratethis threat. The rapid urbaniza-tion of our human population cre-ates a disconnect between people(youth in particular), and theinherent ecological and socialvalue of wildlife and their habi-tats to the health of our environ-ment and quality of our lives.Suffice it to say that changingsocial mores and public indiffer-ence constitutes an insidiousthreat to our wildlife resourcesand traditions. The N.H. Fish andGame Department is on the fore-front of protecting both the natu-ral resources (wildlife, land andwater) that we cherish and thevalues that are so important to thefuture health of our wildlife pop-ulations.

Looking to the FutureNew Hampshire Fish andGame’s game management pro-grams, like our nongame pro-

grams, are science driven. Theimplementation of research proj-ects, the conversion of good datainto effective management deci-sions, the implementation ofthese decisions in the form ofregulations, the enforcement ofregulations, and public outreachand education all require ade-quate funding and broad publicsupport. Department funding isflat, while basic costs have con-tinued to rise. The fact that Fishand Game faces funding chal-lenges should surprise no one;we’ve been actively spreadingthe word about funding shortfallsfor years now, and the proverbialchickens have arrived home toroost.

If wildlife makes your heart beatfaster; if you are an advocate forscience-based management; ifyou agree that healthy wildlifepopulations and habitats are acritical part of the “NewHampshire advantage” – and ifyou recognize that the continuedpresence of healthy, diversewildlife populations in NewHampshire is dependent on ade-quate funding of the State’swildlife agency, then I urge youto share these sentiments withyour friends, neighbors, commu-nity leaders and legislative repre-sentatives. A recent survey indi-cates that over 90% of our citi-zenry places high importance onthe proper management and con-servation of our fish and wildliferesources. For many, the qualityof life in New Hampshiredepends on our success.

“Nature Blest”at the

Indian Corn Mill~ 603-787-6511 ~

North Haverhill, NH • (Located Near The North Haverhill Fairgrounds)NATURE BLEST UPDATE from Sue: Hello Everyone! Apple season has arrived and we will beopening at the INDIAN CORN MILL (located near the No. Haverhill Fairgrounds) on Saturday,Sept. 5th (open daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) The apple crop appears to be a bountiful one; and,other great news is that the fresh pear crop is likewise looking very good this year.

Apple varieties for opening weekend: McIntosh, Paula Red, Tydeman, and Ginger Gold. Asyou know, there are "many" other apple varieties to follow in rapid succession as harvestingprogresses daily. Keep watch for updates in the paper regarding apple varieties; but, also forthe arrival of the fresh pears. There are only four words needed to describe the pears fromthe orchard: "They are the best" -- they also sell very, very fast. Fresh apple cider, home-made apple pies, homemade doughnuts and more of your favorite items will await you.

This marks my 37th year at the INDIAN CORN MILL. I make this comment each and everyyear; and, likewise, I will say it again: "I wouldn't have missed this incredible (this 'truly,incredible) journey of 37 years with each of you for all the money in the world! Looking for-ward to seeing you on opening day, Sept. 5th and throughout the apple season.

As always, Peace..........Sue (the Apple Lady

The Question of Balance

Attention PresidentialCandidate, If any one of you cananswer this simple question, youget my vote. Y

ou all talk a big game on the sub-ject of creating new jobs in thiscountry, how about bringing theold manufacturing jobs back intothis country before you fantasizeabout new jobs. The question is:How are you going to deal withthe vast number of Americancompany's, with the Americantrade mark behind their names,enjoying the American tax shel-ters and loop holes? Are yougoing to tell all of these compa-

nies that if the are going continueto import products into this con-sumerism country, then theircompanies will no longer havethe luxury of our warm and fuzzytax laws and they are to movetheir corporate offices to therespected country's of productsorigins and loose their US Patentand US Registered Trademark?

Here is a short list or Americancompanies that do not see theneed to produce products in theUSA.

Levi Strauss, Wrangler - import-ed from Bangladesh

Faded Glory, Rustler - Mexico

Dickies - Hunduras

Fruit of the Loom, Hanes - El Salvador

Dr Scholls, Hoover, Dirt Devil,Eureka, Bissell, Electrolux -China

Westinghouse, Black and Decker,Sunbeam Products ie; MrCoffee/ Crock Pot - China.

Hamilton Beach - MexicoGE, George Foreman, Rival,Farberware - China.

Bostitch - China

Dremel, Stanley - China,

Mexico,Thailand.

Skil - Mexico

RCA - China

This is just to name a few. We allknow that I could go on and onwith this list!

If you really want to impress yourprospected voters, then you hadbetter have a plan on what to doabout bringing these companiesproduction lines back into thecountry or kick them out. Weneed all of these manufacturingjobs back, period.

Give us no more of the same BSempty promises on creating jobs

with the same old politically cor-rect language.

I'll be awaiting your straightanswer, but I will not hold mybreath, for you see, I do not thinkany one of you in the crowd willhave a definitive answer.

One more thing, will our USOlympics team be wearing cloth-ing manufactured in China in theup coming Olympics, like theydid in the last one?

Make America great again, Huh,well see.

Sharing

When folks ask me how theseason is going on our home-stead, the word “lush” figuresprominently in my response.It’s an all-encompassing wordthat aptly describes the vigorand verdancy of our clearing:vegetables, flowers, fruits,herbs, grasses, tree sprouts,brambles, and wildflowers.The vegetation grows with anamazing penchant for fecundi-ty. Voluptuous and abundant,for example, can easily describethe kale “bushes,” the entiresquash “region,” and the manyflowers of the polewood-sizesunflower stalks.

As these words would suggest,we eat well with a variety ofvegetables continually avail-able for each meal.Nonetheless, “too much” caneasily follow from “bountiful.”Ideally I could be hummingaway multiple days per weekcanning and drying to stock ourshelves for winter. While I cer-tainly have done some of both,the heat of running the cook-stove in the cabin for long can-ning sessions (an outdoor cookarea is in our plans!), not tomention finding the time amidstour many projects and tasks (ohyes, and paid work!), has mechoosing another route: shar-ing.

Neighbors, friends, family,clients, visiting relatives, postoffice workers and bank tellers- all have gained a new role inour existing community net-work: relieving us of the “bur-den” of our garden cornucopia!You know, sharing is easily themost enjoyable aspect of mygarden work. Though convinc-ing folks to accept more cucum-bers, summer squash, and zuc-chini right now can be daunt-ing, it can be done! Turnips,cabbage, kale, beans, broccoli,and herbs are other gifts we’vespread amongst our variedacquaintances. Folks enjoy thesimple gift of home-grownfood, and we enjoy their grati-tude and excitement.Furthermore, I am relieved to

lesson my preservation respon-sibilities while also glad toknow that garden produce is notbeing left to decompose in situ.

It’s also a lesson in lettingthings go, in easing up on our-selves. Sometimes the goalsand plans and shoulds andoughts suddenly add up to quitethe daunting list. Taking our-selves and our self-imposedresponsibilities too seriouslymay give us accomplishmentsto pat ourselves on the back for,but really? Enjoying ourselvesalong the way, allowing our-selves to celebrate what wehave done, laughing at ourfoibles and unforeseen out-comes, and relishing that wehave each other to inspire,

encourage, and create withmakes the process - be it day-to-day chores, seasonal tasks, orlarge, one-time projects - morepleasant. Our energy and inter-est can therefore be more con-sistent, too. To take care of our-selves is not just to provide forour basic needs, but to nurturethe positivity of the atmospherein which we live, breathe, eat,and love.

And this season, passing alongthe produce of our well-loved(if not always well-weeded!)garden is feeding our spirit,while still leaving ampledelights to feed our stomachsnow and in the coming months.Thank you all, and enjoy!

The Pine Grove Grange willhost a history presentation byNewbury author MichelleArnosky Sherburne onSaturday, Aug. 29 at the BathVillage School as part of thetown’s 250th anniversary com-memoration. The event is freeand will begin at 7 p.m.

The first settlers of Bath werethe Jaasiel Harriman family andhis daughter Mercy is remem-bered as helping the family thefirst winter by planting a gardenon a large rock outcroppingnear the Ammonoosuc River.For years the Pine GroveGrange kept Mercy’s Gardenplanted on that same rock out-cropping just west of the villageoff Route 302.

Sherburne, who lives inNewbury only miles fromHarriman Pond and the firstlocation that Jaasiel Harrimansettled in the North Countrywith his family. Harriman wasone of the first to arrive withJacob Bayley and settle inNewbury. But he traveled far-

ther east and found the Batharea and made that his home.Back in the 1990s Sherburneresearched Mercy and her life,after the garden, and will shareMercy’s story. Sherburne is aVermont historian but worksfull time as the production man-ager at the Journal Opinion inBradford.

WE STILL HAVE PLENTY OF FRUIT!

The distinctively feline tracksthrough the snow in our woodslast winter intrigued me. Theywould follow the narrow skitrail a ways, then meander intothe trees or, sometimes, seem todisappear altogether. There wasno way, I thought, a house kittywas so far from home in thedeep of winter, and besides,these tracks were a bit large foryour average cat.

Then it hit me: these were bob-

cat tracks!

I’ve been looking for the “phan-tom of the forest” ever sincethat revelation. While I haven’tlaid eyes on one, more andmore people around the north-east – from city suburbs to ruralwoodlots – have been seeingthese elusive cats lately.

The bobcat population in thenortheast peaked in the early-to-mid-1900s, as farmland gave

way to scrubby forest regenera-tion. It’s no coincidence thatwhite-tailed deer and cottontailrabbit populations also peakedat that time. As the forest grewback, populations of all threeanimal species declined. Anunrestricted harvest on thesewily felines (both Vermont andNew Hampshire paid bountieson bobcats until the early1970s) and harsh weathercycles also took a toll. Plus,bobcats struggled to competewith fishers and coyotes, twoanimal species that didn’t existin much of the northeast 40years ago.

In New Hampshire, bobcat pop-ulations dropped so low thathunting and trapping seasonswere officially closed in 1977,reopened briefly, and thenclosed again in1989.

Today, the bobcat population inboth New Hampshire andVermont seems to be rising.

“The furbearer species are noto-riously boom and bust; theirpopulation ebbs and flows withfood availability, habitat, andweather conditions,” said ChrisBernier, furbearer biologistwith Vermont Fish andWildlife. “Our population herein Vermont is thriving.”

New Hampshire Fish and Gameand the University of NewHampshire embarked on a col-laborative long-range study ofbobcat habitat, prey use, andhome range sizes in 2009. Fishand Game estimates that 1,400-2,200 bobcats now live in NewHampshire.

The animal’s resurgence hasNew Hampshire consideringopening a bobcat season for thefirst time in 25 years. Not sur-prisingly, even the mere sug-gestion has sparked controver-sy. With their attractive looksand secretive nature, bobcats

have developed a devoted fol-lowing among their humanneighbors. In many ways thesetenacious cats symbolize wild-ness: stealthy, solitary, quietlypowerful, and beautiful.

Bobcats live throughout thecontinental United States andfrom southern Canada toMexico. A female’s home rangeis about 12 square miles, and amale’s can stretch to 36 squaremiles. But bobcats will some-times travel much greater dis-tances, likely seeking new terri-tory or better hunting. One bob-cat collared near LakeWinnipesaukee in NewHampshire traveled north toCanada and over to Maine.

Their tawny coats and spottedunderbellies provide camou-flage in the scrubby forests androcky outcrops they favor.Bobcats typically weighbetween 15 and 35 pounds,although larger males can tipthe scales near 50 pounds.

Like their distant cousin, thehousecat, bobcats are adept treeclimbers. Theymaintain their retractable clawsby using trees as scratchingposts. Andalthough they’re not often heardby humans, bobcats make avariety of noisesfrom mewing and hissing tofull-throated growls. Matingseason in our region runs fromFebruary into March, with kit-tens – usually a litter of two tothree – born in late April andMay.

Anyone who has ever watcheda housecat stalk its prey canenvision the bobcat’s fiercehunting ability. While their pre-ferred menu includes small

mammals, most notably cotton-tail rabbits and snowshoe hare,bobcats are, like many preda-tors, opportunistic. Using keeneyesight and hearing, they willhunt birds, snakes, muskrat,porcupines, turkeys – as well asbackyard chickens and squirrelspoaching birdfeeders. Bobcatswill hunt both fawns and adultdeer, hanging on by the clawsand biting at a deer’s neck untilit succumbs.

“They’re a top predator.They’re made to kill,” saidBernier. “That’s what they needto do to survive.”

It seems they are survivingquite well, these phantoms ofthe forest, giving me hope thatsomeday I’ll catch a glimpse ofa spotted wildcat movingthrough the trees.
