Kentucky is home to the longest known cave system in the world.
Had to check Wikipedia (hope they have it right), but Mammoth Cave appears to be almost twice as long as the next nearest listing.
The contributions have really been great so far.?ÿ You are welcome to post something more than once for your home area.
Alaska has 33,094 miles of coastline. Beaches be damned. Just sayin.
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.
I enjoyed this post.
I started looking for what??s available for Belgium and his borders with the Netherland, Germany, Luxemburg and France.
I stumbled on this nice site that documents the border and his markers very well.
there??s a lot of historic documentation on Wikipedia.

The book ??Nimrod? is only available in paperback dammit, anyone know if it??s available in ??e? format or even a pdf? ?????ÿ
@flga-2
I am a paperback guy, so I am not aware. I really enjoyed the book, but it is kinda in my backyard. A long way from the Sunshine State (especially today).
If you like western historicals you may enjoy ??The Age of Gold?, by H. W. Brands. An interesting look at the discovery of gold and the and the chaos it caused. ?????ÿ

Sounds like you all will eat good this winter..along with the fledgling timber wolf population.?ÿ Bon apeptit!
ps - I've never had it, but I understand antelope can be prepared much like cabrita?ÿif one has access to mesquite.
I haven't been hunting since my little brother died 20 years ago, but before that, we hunted just about everything that walked starting back in the 1950s.
Pronghorn (antelope) can be GOOD eating, but they are a lot of trouble to take care once they hit the ground. Considering how "little" they are, you have to be pretty hungry to expend the effort IMO. Elk and Moose on the other hand, were my favorite.

Haven't hunted in years either.?ÿ Use to hunt with relatives in WTx a lot when I was younger.?ÿ Mulies and whitetails mostly.?ÿ And sadly there was always a luckless coyote that crossed my cousin's path.?ÿ
An occasional pronghorn herd could be seen kicking up dust, but at such a distance nobody had anything powerful enough to shoot them or fast enough to catch them.?ÿ

Pronghorn will do almost anything to avoid jumping a fence. I have seen a lineup of hundreds wait patiently to cross under a page wire fence and often seen them go through a barbed wire fence. Can't remember seeing many jump a fence even though I'm sure they easily could.
@paden-cash That reminds me of the story of the fellow who shot a pronghorn but apparently he hit him in the antler and only stunned him.?ÿ The fellow went up and tied his game tag to him and then he got up and ran off.?ÿ The fellow was chasing him across a hill when he heard a shot and saw the pronghorn go down again.?ÿ As the other hunter was walking up he ran in and yelled, "He's mine, I've already tied my tag to him".?ÿ To which the other hunter replied, "He's yours, if your fast enough to run him down and tie that to him you can have him".

@loyal OOOOPS!?ÿ We don't have many pronghorns in Georgia.
Out west the bottom wires on most range fences aren't barbed because of this. They will shoot right under that fence if they perceive a threat and it barely slows them down from their ripping speed.
