I’d imagine the mountain lion is next around here! I’m guessing you don’t own livestock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have chickens and pigeons, but I imagine bears and wolves would be after them if they hadn’t been killed off here. Don’t usually see the mountain lions here kill the cattle mostly just hunting dogs. Neighbors have cattle, they have the most problems with poachers shooting the cattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry don’t remember the source . But they will hunt ,stocker humans . please correct me if this is wrong. Black bear = 300-400 lb racoon, essentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC_Ranger Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 A little off topic, but I watched a Red Fox take a squirrel in the backyard this evening. He was on it and a couple of shakes, and it was all over for the squirrel. I was watching a young buck closer to the house when I noticed the movement. Not quite sure what is going on this year, but the deer are active in the backyard more this year than since I bought this place in 2014. Haven't seen a bear yet, but it is the time of year that they move through this area, mama kicks them out of the nest and it is time for them to find their own area. I wouldn't deal with a bear on the porch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were behind my house which is against a steep bank, as usual pitch black using my little pen light to see by, I think i was taking the compost out, which is in a barrel type composter, he has rolled it around the driveway but never managed to get into It. Davy Crockett grinned it to death , I wasn’t there ,but Disney showed it  so happened according to the movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
