Was out hiking in the Delaware water gap national rec area, had an eagle slowly glide down and check me out.
Weird.

Had idiots from the city chase a bear through my campsite, it passed three foot away while I was chopping wood.
“Take my pitcher withit!”

Had a medium sized female bobcat make her presence known, again I was being eyeballed.
She let me know it was time to GTF gone.

LOL! When I was a kid (12-13? ish), I was walking home from a friend's house and had a bobcat scream at me, from 20-30 feet away. It was up a tree, or so it sounded. I didn't wait around to get a good look. :-)

This would have been late dusk, not quite dark yet. You wanna talk about me tearing it for home? Forget it. I don't think that I touched down, except for the high spots.

And....if you want to talk about ijits from the city.....My cousin *swears* that this is true. Having dealt with enough city people (locals called them 'summer complaints') I could believe it.

So, he's headed home from work. Buncha cars - all with NJ plates on them - are pulled over beside the road, and a whole gaggle of people are standing around pointing and taking pictures. Cousin figures "What the heck", and pulls over to see what's going on.

The folks are all excited about the moose. When my cousin asks "What moose?", they sloooowly explain - as you would talk to any obviously illiterate country backwoods redneck (/sarcasm) - the moose that's standing RIGHT THERE. In the pasture.

It was one of the local's donkeys.

Not to be outdone, my cousin asked - "So, what's the collar that he's wearing, for?"

The tourists: "The Game Wardens put those on the moose so that they can be tracked. Obviously. Haven't you ever seen a moose before?"

So, somewhere in NJ, there's a family with dozens of fantastic pictures of a donkey. But, they're sure it's a moose, and might be able to fool other city folk into thinking the same thing, so that's good enough for them. :-)
