So you have Cougars at the fence line and coyote red wolf mixed attack packs trying to lure your dogs away.You wear a tin foil hat by any chance?
POW !! LMAO!
charlie, i hunt 10-12hrs a day every single day from sept to now. i saw a bobcat (HUGE!) and a MONSTER coyote and a BIG ol fisher. IF i was inexperinced, my first impression would be " theres a cougar!" . they look, i dont know, "out of place " when youre used to seeing deer, turkeys and squirrels all day.
BTW, that big ol bobcat had to be damn near 40 lbs. i will get him after bow season
but , i live and hunt on the border of greene and albany county, and there just arent any mountain lions around here. there was some jackass in coeymans hollow that had a PET one for years, he used to walk it on a leash and scare us when we were kids. it got loose (or he let it loose) a few times a year ... this is going back 20 years though.
and as far as RED WOLVES go, they are unique to mexico, texas and arizona, very rare, and not happenin around here. theres no "coydogs", either...they are eastern coyotes, and yes they are big and bold...ive seen em run deer, sheep, other dogs and cats...
if youre in the albany area, buzz me . i'll buy you a beer for the "tinfoil hat " comment
