I, for one, would welcome the opportunity to add a timber rattler to my list of species encountered in NH.

Years ago, hiking in the Pemi Wilderness in the Whites, I happened upon a lynx that was stalking some spruce partridges on a remote section of trail. I don't know who was more surprised. But that has stuck with me, just like my first moose, first bear, etc. Now I'm trying to afford those same opportunities for my kids, as it can only enhance their appreciation for the region's diversity.

I remember seeing black racers a number of times as a kid. One on our property, too. It was quite long, and moved really quickly.

Another thing I'd love to see: one of those elusive fisher cats.
