Another day, another month, another walk. Not very different from any other except after Luna and Yogi ran into the swamp and were out of sight I heard a gun shot from the direction they went. I started to call them and for 5 minutes heard and saw nothing, needless to say I was getting worried. Finally, Luna raced into view and I kept calling for Yogi. Still nothing.

So I tried to follow their tracks and fell twice through ice into the swamp proper (fortunately my boots were taller than the water depth) and finally after another 5 minutes Yogi appeared, unscathed.

I suppose I shouldn't have panicked, I have a HUGE piece of property after all, but there is always the possiblity of someone illegally hunting back where they think they can't be seen. Sometimes it's not so great to have land connecting to federal forest.
