@@hikingoutdoorfamily I get it: they’re fun to feed 🤷♂️ And it’s not exactly the same as habituating a grizzly, but it’s just another example of teaching a natural thing to do something unnatural 😏
Yeah, it can be frustrating at times. Here’s what I try to remind myself: for every bad apple, there are two good ones. 🙂 People just need to be better educated. 🤷♂️
Me and my brother fish here a few times each year, since we only live 45 minutes north. It's one of the most tranquil, beautiful, and relaxing places around, especially in the early morning when the fog rolls down the creek.
When I first saw the video title, I thought this might really be about hemlocks in northern Michigan. I find the story of these sequoia both fascinating and sad, it's probably just me. It's great that these magnificent trees are living, but sad that they are so far away from their natural home and kin. Brought here by people, like so many other invasive species.
I understand. I get a little sentimental about it, too. These trees are far from home, but it’s truly amazing that they’re healthy and vibrant so far from their native soil!
I live on the tombigbee river in west central Alabama. But I was born and raised in California and grew up trout fishing because the waters in the rivers were freezing. I miss trout fishing and eating. I need to get up there soon. Thanks for the reminder 🤙
Well you’d love the frosty waters of up state NY. Trout and some rivers have salmon ( steel heads). I lived in both AL & NY state - I know you’d like it 👍 Don’t make the mistake of thinking I’m talking about lower NY by NYC region-. Same state but different worlds
@@kenfrank3782 I do indeed love those waters!! I lived in the Catskills for four years, and then I lived on the Tug Hill Plateau for nine more. Upstate NY holds a special place in my heart. 😊 I stomped around the Adirondacks for years! 😍
I lived outside Buffalo for a couple years but I’m from and now back in north Alabama and when i tell people about it i always have to make sure to tell them where i lived outside Buffalo was more in the country than where i am now. The elk river below Tims ford dam is a beautiful spot that’s also stocked by tva just over the Tennessee line.
@@BenOrvis yeah it sure is. Snowmobile trails that went through a couple counties was right behind my house and it was miles of nothing when you were on it. Soon as people hear NY they just think of the city and that’s a huge state with a small percentage of it being city. Love the videos man! Keep it up
@@csquad7062 Thanks, buddy!! 👍👍 Yeah, I actually kinda miss upstate New York now that I’ve been nomadic for the past couple years 🤷♂️ The natural resources up there are incredible!
I live on this part of the river its probably one of the most diverse waters we have if people only knew what else is in this river that can only be caught here
