I have come to realize there are two kinds of people in this world
Yes indeed!! There are those who know that animals are dangerous, and then there are those that think if they see a bear it may break into a dance routine and sing the “Bear necessities”!!
That is no joke! I recently had a local radio personality on the ranch. He’s a well known Botanist and since our ranch is probably the largest ranch in the county and one of the oldest he wanted to check out the plant life. One particular place I wanted to show him was a box canyon with a spring in it, just below a large Indian camp site. Before we started into the canyon I put my pistol on and he immediately got this surprised look on his face. He said what are you afraid of? I had to explain to him that it’s a box canyon and the only water within 3 miles. Feral hog’s, Javalina’s and even the occasional Mountain Lion use this daily. Since it’s narrow and only one way out they have to go through or over us to get out. He was shaking the whole way!
