Fair point. I’ve done the same and the dogs aren’t strays.

Strays or the neighbors dog who happened to get out? There’s a difference

I guarantee you have exactly this in Maine. Aroostook county is more rural than almost all of Vermont and honors their hunting traditions more than vermont does.
Actually last I checked Maine allowed bear trapping whereas Vermont does not.
This is not a Vermont specific thing.

Kinda like how WCAX just posts clickbait national news articles now.
"Kentucky infant drop box used within seconds of opening!"
Cool WCAX

Is this supposed to be a shit post or what? Pretty bad one if so.
I have 4 neighbors, we all look out for each other. We had a break in two years ago and the whole road was on high alert for months afterward. Ended up catching a dude stealing our parcel locker with a trail camera!

Not Vermont at all because "engaging the burglar in your socially unaware/deprived conversation until he bores and tries his hardest to leave" and "get yer gun" are not options.

Born in March and my dad always talks about nailing huge yellow bellied in the days leading up to my birth.

Someone was saying in keelers bay specifically it was about a foot until 100 yards out or so, and then drastically went to 3-4”

Yup. Every weekend we were out there either walking or skating by ourselves, on my dad’s snowmobile, in someone’s shanty watching tip ups, launching model rockets, just generally having a blast.

I remember driving out to the breakwater - THE BREAKWATER, routinely with my dads truck. Never in a million years would I do that now.

My dad and I would drive his truck out a mile or so on Shelburne bay at like 3:30/4 on a weekend. He would drill a hole close enough to each door that we could sit in the truck. Bud heavy for him and root beer or Mountain Dew for me. In less than an hour we would catch enough HUGE perch for the whole family to have a fish fry.
Nowadays so many things about this would just not happen. It’s rarely safe enough to drive a truck out onto Shelburne bay these days, drinking and driving is no longer in vogue (probably a good thing), if you DO get out there it will take you all day to catch a few dinky perch….
and this wasn’t even that long ago. 20-25 years. I now have a son of my own and I’m afraid he will never experience ice fishing to any meaningful degree.

A second pair fell through this morning and at least one of them passed away as well. Grand Isle sheriffs “suggesting” that ice fishing derbies be cancelled and urging folks to get off the ice.
There’s no safe ice on champlain this year folks. Just face it. I see people saying “there’s a foot in keelers bay!” - may be true but that foot of ice wasn’t strong enough twice in the last 48hrs.

Fast and crowded doesn’t necessarily mean that the same stuff is happening to the same degree. The amount of freedom on 89 contributes to the problem. The second someone doesn’t feel free to drive whatever speed they want they flip.

Yup same with my wife’s car. I’ve also flashed people only for them to turn their brights on….whoops sorry friend 😬
What I hate are the jacked up trucks with LEDs in regular projectors so you have two eyes of Sauron blasting at direct eye level in every single mirror. Bonus points if they aren’t secured well and jiggle over every bump.

I see a lot of issues arise in the areas where thru traffic should actually be in the left. I think a lot of people don’t realize that these areas aren’t for high speed passing.
