If you are concerned about being in that class tell the principal you would like to be assigned to a new home room because you no longer have any respect for your teacher. It might be less confrontational and a better idea to say, instead, that the teacher does not have the proper respect for YOU.

If you were in wolf country, I'd say wolves. They eat their own ... relatives!

I went to my guidance counsler today and we have a metting with me mom and Mrs. Carberry. I made honor roll since a freshman and I told mom that's what I want to do. She said ok. Hopefully we can work something out. I printed some of the comments out and bringing them in. Thanks Sounds like a plan. Just remember that YOU have nothing to work out. You are the student/she is the teacher. You are the child/she is the adult. You are engaged in a legal , ecological activity/she is dissing it. In other words, there is a problem and it is not you. Be firm and assertive but hyper polite. Remember that this is not a fun thing for your Mom. You owe her a huge hug, thanks, and "I love you." once you leave that meeting.

I think that you should POLITELY let your teacher know that you are engaged in a time honoured, legitimate, legal activity that she obviously knows very little about. You could then add that her profession is to teach and not to judge.
You could follow up with a similar conversation with the school principal. In that conversation you should mention that you were made uncomfortable with her judgemental, negative comments and that further similar comments would be harrassement.
Your local DU, or similar hunting/trapping organization could be a useful ally. The school student advisor might be also. Don't allow anyone to make you feel uncomfortable in school. It's tough to learn when you aren't happy.
Or make your Mom happy, shrug it off, and realize that you learned that some adults are judgemental idiots that feel that it's o.k. to bully people.

Looks like you guys are working! I sold fur yesterday. Was pleased with the outcome. Keep at it. I'm going to rest a little!

Man that's a cool picture! Times 100. That really sucks, Paul. There are no bad chessies. They aren't popular enough to have been screwed up. I saw an add for a litter that is born. I know breeders. If you are interested pm me. Quebec is far but planes are there for a reason!

And what have you been selling your eggs for? I'm guessing that he's selling them at "average." And since he will continue to sell often at "average" he will have a true "average" price. That may be more or less than the "one shot" price received by others at auction. And he had the chance to say "No, thanks." each time he sold. I'm getting a chance to say "No!" this week. But I'm really hoping to say , "Deal!"

So we're two without cell phone coverage! I have one in the truck but it doesn't work anywhere on the line or at my house.
Those tools are handy but heavy. Mine is in the bag on the sled.
Now for the important question: Where's the chessie!!

A dog can over heat with boots and they sometimes walk really funny with them on!
I've used the leather and my dog over heated. I've used the musher booties. They are o.k. but they throw them off a lot. You can make a pair by taking old socks, or kid socks, and duct taping them to the dog. If you want to stiffen the bottom part use duct tape on it. But it will be slippery for the dog.
As for the cut: you can put on some foot guard. or tuff foot It's a liquid that hardens the pad. Some mushers swear by tar from a Norwegian tree. It's made for horses and to paint cut limbs on trees. It stinks and is very messy. You must disinfect the foot prior to application. But it heals and protects. I've never used it.

I enjoyed that. You guys make it look easy. It isn't!
The enthusiasm is really cool, too.
Some of those yotes look as if they have size to them.
Thanks.

I dream of a black one! All I get is black (silver) fox!
I spotted the blue and wondered why you weren't holding that one up. Very unusual.
What I like is seeing the other stuff in the photo. Like the cell phone (I think) on your belt. You get cell phone coverage?!! Or the fact that your fire wood seems to be soft wood. Nice wood shed BTW.
Where's the chessie?

Sometimes you'd have 2 or three hares hopping by on the same trail. I loved the pinch points that funneled them.
Other times the dog would run by bawling and you'd know that you hadn't seen the bunny go by.
If I could scan I'd show a few pix. We sometimes hauled sleds to pull the bunnies out!

kspanky: sounds like a real good time. Beagles can be lots of work but they sure make your blood race when they bawl. I never have even seen a cotton tail. But I certainly shot my share of snow shoes.

Interesting to see the terrain. Nice catches, too!
That coon den is something. The only ones I have seen are in rock piles. It almost looks like a bear den.
