An Ohio legislator is proposing a $1 million study on the feasibility of reintroducing elk back into Ohio. They are interested mostly in the habitat of Southeastern Ohio. What is to keep the elk in that part of Ohio?

During the bad weather in January some people felt sorry for the deer and bought food for them. Since the snow has thawed we have seen 18 deer at one time and 10 at another time so it seems enough of them survived.

Deer do millions of dollars of damage to field crops, orchard trees and young pine trees, besides automobile and human life damage on the highways. It would seem the presence of elk would multiply the crop damage problem because of their size. Also the damage from collisions to cars and people would be more severe.

And speaking of animals, the first day of March was a beautiful Lamb Day, then the second was a snowy Lion Day. March is like a mischievous – and unpredictable – child.

We can expect any kind of weather in March. In the middle of March, we will have days when the daylight and dark hours will be equal. Then comes days of longer daylight and the promise of spring.
