I'm still amazed you would call what I did a "prank". I made it obvious the picswere a joke and that I was kidding with the stories. At least it should have been obvious to you. O.K. so you don't feel you are being "pranked" again andjust in case you think livbucksis being serious in his last post someone should make it clear to you and zdeerslayer thatheis kidding around too. He doesn't really think you are a God, he's not glad we amuse you, and he doesn't think "You da bomb". Clear?

If you didn't know the pics that Sylvan posted were obviously faked, please don't open any e-mails you get from the Nigerian goverment. You'll think there is a million dollars waiting for you if you only give them your bank account info.

you know, i guess it is hard for some to believe that cougars are here in pa. and some other states.i just heard that in adams county they shot a wolve that weighted 122 pds, oh my.i guess another one was with it. man, thats big. i NEVER heard of wolve in pa. pgc has the wolve now and says that they believe the hunters and say that there is another one too. all kidding aside, where are all these coyotes, cougars and red hawks,bobcats, fischers,eagles and now WOLVES coming from?man, this is getting real interesting.

I am from NJ, hunt MD and NJ, and I gotta say there are just as many eagles andredtail hawks around as there were 20 years ago whenI was a kid, and only slightly more coyotes... Haven't seen any cougars lately

we never had red tail hawk or eagles.we never saw a coyote or heard of a cougar.we had bobcats and fox but no wolves. now wolves.pa. is changing ,for sure.

Actually, Charlie, they did realize they were faked. What they didn't get was the facetious intent of the post. They thought I was seriously presentingthem as evidenceof ml's in PA. Even though I purposefully did a horrible editing job on the turnpike pic and even placed a gorilla in it followed by an outrageous story they still didn't recognize that I was simply using a little humor to make a point and not trying to trick anybody. I'm still amazed they didn't understand instantly what was going on. (apparentlystill don't so you might want to mention that prime hunting land you have for salehere in NY, you know the land with all the B&C's on it you're selling for such a low price!).

Sproulman,
I grew up in north central PA (Tioga co.) and I'm 54 years old. Although I'd say there are more yotes and eagles now then when I was a kid, I can't remember a time when any of the animals you mentionedweren't here (with the exception of wolves and cougars).

sproulman,
These were captive wolves that had escaped. One was shot the second one was re-captured by the owner.

Hence the purpose of my reference to his 60 posts versus our average
of 1250. Apparently, one does draw knowledge from the time accumulated here and number of posts made.
If you are unclear of where you stick your foot, it often goes directly in your mouth.
I thought we behaved admirably this go 'round. We showed a little respect for the other guy and injected some humor.
I'm not proud ofmy last foray into this topic.

I did see that post about the wolves in PA thought to have been captive and purposely released. The first was shot and the second was captured but the PGC was not releasing any more info until they did a little more investigation on their end. The only reseason they even released the info that they did was to get help locating these animals.

Hey - Sylvan -
Since Gunwalkr wanted to make this forum a little more Intellectual and weed out the "little people" and "simple minded" I though we would start talking about quantum physics and my theroy on the Third Demention of time. What do you think?
