“We have a panther living across the street from us. Used to have a bunch of hogs.”
Panthers, can be a problem, but I understand that female cougars can be just as much trouble, they are cunning and dangerous.
“Who had the hogs...you or the panther?”
Well the neighbors and I were planning a block party and were thinking of using one of the empty lots. By the time we got our act together the buzzards were overhead.
There are still lots of hogs, otter, deer, herons, bobcats, and of course a panther. Getting to be too many people though.
LOL!
I’ve been dealing with garbage bears...
I use a piece of pvc pipe to knock them off the fence!
My brother had to leave his NICE four wheeler out overnight in the N Ga mountains one night after engine trouble. The next AM we went out to trailer it up and the seat stuffing had been shredded by a bear.
I’m so sorry!
*HUG*
I felt the same way when I had to have my Collie put down.
I miss her so much!
We have more than our share of bear probs in Alaska, we just shoot every dang one we see around the house. I’ve seen bear shot inside cabins when they wouldn’t leave when owners came home.
I really wish I could but I live in Kalifornia!
Besides, it’s usually a female with at least two cubs, and my heart won’t let me be the bad guy!
I watch closely when my grand babies are here though, a bear in the yard around the little ones is dead!
My kids get tired of all my bear stories, but here’s a funny one.
As a young guy on a crew in Glacier once I was up on a height above the switchback on the Going-to-the-Sun Highway where the trail goes up to Granite Park. I watched a family park their car in the lot there and very carefully put all their food in its trunk. Then they left up the trail that goes up to Granite Park. A bear came along, opened the door to the car, climbed into the back, fairly neatly tore out the back seat and got the food out of the trunk and ate it.
Thank you very much!
No fun with gangs and Chickenlooper’s ...
I remember camping in the Missions one night.
I looked out to see a Daddy bear with the Mama bear on top of him. There were two cubs on top of the Mama bear reaching for my stash bag hanging from a tree.
I figured if they were smarter than most Democrats they could have my food.
The worst part is that Edie was my shop dog, when I’m down in the shop, so was she!
Now I’m down here all by myself, but we did replace her with a 3 year old Boston Terrier.
Her name is Bobbie. She loves my propane heater!
Do normal women leave their purses and phone in the car overnight?
Propane heater!?
What the heck is that?
Smilin in Tampa.
Around here alot of people never lock their homes even when away for work. I had a tax accountant tell me which door was unlocked and where to leave my income tax information inside the house. I certainly don’t tempt fate so I lock up and have defensive dogs that would attack an intruder including chasing away bears in the past.
Only you Floridians wouldn't understand!
But then again, I now for sure that no hurricane is gonna wipe me out! Earthquake maybe, forest fire sooner or later!
Where do you live, cause I want to live there.
I live in Gilpin County, Colorado. When I was renewing my CCW handgun permit I asked the sherrif’s assistant about the crime statistics in this county. She said there were a fair amount of DWI arrests around the gambling establishments which are a long way away from me, no traffic would come past my residense to go there. The other major call is for dogs barking.
Buy a gun!
good luck out there. if the USAF still does it's yearly low flyover at the airshow, enjoy. i'm back in cincinnati, and will miss all of the memories.
fight those who would try to turn co. blue from red.
