While reading Emily's post above,
it reminded me of another occasion that happened about 7-8 years ago. I live within a quarter of a mile of the northwestern corner of the largest State Park in the state of Illinois. One night, a friend & I were hunting along a fairly large creek that ran through the park, & the dog's struck & worked the track down the creek about a half a mile, then worked it up off of the creek toward the edge of the woods & treed. They were about 3/4 of a mile from us & you can't wade the creek just anyplace, so we decided to drive around. When we got around to the other side & listened for where they were treed at, I said they are treed close to the tree with the Bald Eagle nest in it. We took out walking & the closer we got the more nervous I got. When we got to the tree, the first thing I see was a big sign nailed to the side of the tree, with big red letters saying RESTRICTED AREA. Yes, it was the tree with the Eagle nest in it. We leashed the dog's up immediately & ran part of the way back to the truck, & got out of there.
