Dangerous Animals vs Growing Outdoors

D.A.A.S.69 I`d loved to see a moose. Well, most of the above except the ticks (nope), spiders (maybe), snakes (yeah..ok) and anything that injects rotting venon into your nuts (I`m defo outta there). Also, I was talking to a couple of mates over the outfit OJH wears. Been a good blog this one as I`ve learnt a hell of a lot...never appreciated aspects of your countryside as such
 
PaganRich, yes ,we do have a beautiful and very diverse country, and I know that you would love it over here.
We got the beautiful RockyMountains, to beautiful beaches, most everwhere, to even the delta ,flat as a football fields, that are so fertile, that corn and cotton ,grow so tall, you could hide your truck in it and never be seen again, until winter.
But I would really like to see your Country, it's got so much history over there, and you can get in your car and in an hour or two ,be in another beautiful country, or two.
Yes it's beautiful over here , but where you live is probably even prettier.
But we do have plenty of animals, and bugs, and spiders. But most won't kill you ,not very many people die from animals each year, maybe 4-5.More people die from wasp stings than anything else, even snakes. But you do teach your children at a young age what to look out for.
Yes, you did good starting this topic ,can you think of another ?
 
D.A.A.S.69 I learnt more from watching you lads natter about day to day creatures you meet that you don`t just get watching travel programmes...well, not with the content I like :D :D It`s true, this place is chocker history wise. Sometimes I see stuff people over there call something old/ ancient...nope. You can wander around flint quarries and find semi sharpened flint arrow heads and if you go nighthawking then the world`s your oyster. Lot of that goes on over here. Big prob with battle field sites. Easily make a decent castle, fortified manor house or something battle wise of interest within a half hour - hour by car, if that. Around me, I`ve got battlefields from recorded history say Romans onwards but also shed loads of pre-history stuff, place names, castles, old ports, old towns, manors and mansions and ye ole pub. If you like history we live surrounded by the stuff. With all these antique programmes now though, everyone`s flogging stuff on line. We are certainly spoilt mate for stuff like that. Check out this though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YU3Qh2VHSA
 
We argue with the gators over our fish. Lol Never had a gator steal one but have had a water snake swallow one while on the stringer. Pull up my fish and this fat ass snake had swallowed one and was stuck on the striger.
 
The beer would be good, but the scotch would be a issue. I enjoy a good beer, I drink scotch and I'm ready to declare war on my own brother.
 
Man, that's just some creepy sounding shit, a pack of coyotes at a kill. remember the first time I heard it when I was a kid, gave me the chills, didn't know what it was!!
Kinda like watching the things when the're hunting mice though, pretty cool little ( slightly evil) critters.
 
Got lot's of moose where I live, black bears to, but I'd much rather deal with a black bear than a moose. Our bears will usually run away, but the moose hear will stomp the $h!t out of ya! We have a moose fatality every year or two.
If we had ol' Griz hear, I expect it would be different though....
 
I had a doe run past me yesterday if I wasn't paying attention she would of knocked me over I figured something was chasing her so I sat quite and waited whatever it was didn't come close ,to bad I would of liked to reduce the coyote population by one
 
The coyotes are slick. 9 times out of 10, if they see you, you won't see them. You can damn sure smell 'em, though.
 
The does are probably dropping Fawns up there, and she was leading the coydogs, away from the fawns, Coyotes, are hell, on fawns, I kill every coydog, I see.
 
So do we. Trouble is we almost never see them. We know they're there & catch a passing glimpse from time to time but every time we've gone out we wind up feeling like the hunted rather than the hunters. It's creepy, Man!
 
BillBates, get you a rabbit squeller, or if you practice, you can do it with your mouth.
They are smart ,but you can get them to within shotgun distance, 20-30 yards, with a call, and a light,
 
No one has mentioned the most dangerous animal at harvest time. That being the one who walks erect, and wholeheartedly supports the second amendment. They would like to steal all of the hard work you have done over the growing season. I keep a small arsenal just in case a Beretta M9, a Winchester Defender, a 38 special, a Rugger 22 for target practice and an AR15. Fortunately I have never had to use any of these weapons. In fact that Defender is 25 years old, and has only been test fired one time. However I put my foot down, and refuse to own any thermonuclear weapons.
