 The Great Outdoors - White Mountains - Peak Bagger's Lists
Peak bagging is most commonly defined as climbing a peak or peaks for the primary purpose of checking that peak off a list of some sort that the hiker is "working on." Many feel that this is anathema to the very idea of what hiking is all about!
To be a member of this club you must climb, on foot to and from each of the summits on "the list." Most of the trails to the peaks on this list are very well travelled and you'll find that even the most remote climbs on the list are visited often.
In addition, they require you to do each peak individually as a seperate hike and that you do 72 hours of volunteer trail work before you can be an "official" member of the club.

 T.R. Michels' Peak Whitetail Rut & Breeding Dates Chart and Moon Phase Theories   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-23)
The graph shows that the average peak breeding date of white-tailed deer in Minnesota from 1980 - 1987 occurred during the week of Nov. 12.
If the moon theories are right (peak breeding occurs 5-7 days after the full moon or, 5-7 days before the new moon), then peak breeding should have occurred during the week of Nov. 5; and the peak should have lasted for three weeks.
They can be excellent hunting locations during the 2-3 weeks before "peak breeding." Because these scrapes are in or near "staging areas" and food sources, that the does frequent as long as the food is still there, the areas near these scrapes are also good hunting sites during "peak breeding" (the Primary Breeding Phase).

The video signal, ranging from fl to peak white, was scaled to 1.0 V peak-to-peak.
The composite signal became 1.4 V p-p, with fl at 0 V, white at +1.0 V, and sync tip at -0.4 V. This set the precedent for a 10:4 ratio between video and sync amplitudes.
In this case, the non-composite GBR is at 714 mV peak.
