I live in Northern Wisconsin. My property is surrounded by the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest. So there are lots of wild critters running around. We have lots of timber wolves, bear, deer, elk, coyotes, game birds, and an occasional moose shows up but not too often. And of course there are the mountain lion that the DNR swears do not live in the forest. Even though people have treed/chased them with dogs, and photographed them.
At least we don't have alligators, lots of nasty snakes, or wild hogs.
