I looked around, about 3 feet to my side was a little coon, standing up, trying to see what was on the grill. Yeah, I tossed him a bite, I ain't ever had good sense! I don't think he had been on his own very long, he was hungry, and that pig did smell fine!tsiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407516571027552126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-45360469778744685982008-03-22T22:04:00.000-05:002008-03-22T22:04:00.000-05:00Good to have you back as well, I've been thinking ...Good to have you back as well, I've been thinking about you all these past few days.<BR/><BR/>And....erm, I was also thinking the same thing that Vicky mentioned, LOL!

We found mountain lion tracks in his home range and didn't want him to be stuck exposed in a leg trap if the lion came along. When we got there the next morning we heard noise coming from the live trap much like the one you used. Great!, we finally got the gray fox. When we got to the trap there was a bobcat in it. You think it was interesting getting a raccoon out, try getting a large bobcat out of one.valownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00533024553364484653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-77293011237840562712008-03-22T20:01:00.000-05:002008-03-22T20:01:00.000-05:00You, my friend - are an amazement.I've always fant...You, my friend - are an amazement.<BR/><BR/>I've always fantasized getting one of those infrared sensing sprinkler heads to give prowling cats a jolt. <BR/><BR/>Never got around to it.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548755592157386484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-74162414750103483462008-03-22T18:41:00.000-05:002008-03-22T18:41:00.000-05:00You must get the video uploaded... we have to see ...You must get the video uploaded... we have to see it!
