Comment by Jan Carter on July 2, 2015 at 10:02: Well, due to cloud cover I missed last nights BUCK MOON. I hope some of you were able to see it

According to the Farmer’s Almanac, July’s first moon is also called the buck moon, because this is the time of year when bucks begin to grow their antlers.

Right now, the moon is 99.5 percent full and could be seen beautifully last night in conjunction with Venus and Jupiter, who are having a rendezvous this month with Regulus – the brightest star in the constellation Leo – playing a starring role.

Today is a good day to go fishing, the almanac says.

July is a lucky month with two full moons tonight and on July 31

Comment by Tobias Gibson on June 8, 2015 at 11:31: Just throwing out an idea and figured this is one of the best place to start. I'm thinking of either forming a group to discuss fishing. I'm think everything from sharing fishing stories, advice on gear, etc. Of course a good chunk would also focus on collecting vintage tackle and knives as well as what you use when you go fishing today. Would people be interested in such a group?

BTW I went to college at Vanderbilt.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on May 13, 2015 at 13:28: Does Jay Cutler have a vacation home in Western Massachusetts? I can picture a drunken Bears fan chasing him with a dull hatchet!

Featured Comment by Charles Sample on May 13, 2015 at 11:04: Even a sharp hatchet I would backup with at least a .44 magnum! LOL

Comment by Jan Carter on May 13, 2015 at 10:27: Life lesson.....at least sharpen the hatchet LOL

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. (AP) — Police in Massachusetts have some sage advice: Don't go chasing after bears while drunk and armed with nothing more than a dull hatchet.

North Adams police said on their Facebook page that someone did just that on Monday.

"Chasing bears through the woods drunk with a dull hatchet is strongly not advised," the department posted, noting that the man was taken into protective custody "due to his incapacitation from the consumption of alcoholic beverage."

No name was released.

Police said anyone who sees a bear should leave it alone and call authorities.

"We certainly don't need anyone going all Davy Crockett ..." police wrote.

Bears are not unusual in the largely rural western part of the state.

A dispatcher said Tuesday said no one was available to handle media calls.

Comment by Jan Carter on April 5, 2015 at 18:44: I was wondering the same thing Tobias. Even if it works good for splitting, is it able to be used for more? Looking at the wood you all may be correct, it may be birch

Comment by Tobias Gibson on April 5, 2015 at 17:30: It seems to purpose built to me. I do more with an axe than just split wood. Still if that all you need to do, then it might be the thing you need!
