The Official Critter Thread

[Mick!]

Saw a documentary about leopards, they are adapting to living in cities, and dogs are a common prey.
They have learnt to grab them by the throat to keep them quiet while they take them away.
Don’t think my Igor would stand a chance!

Yikes! That would be such a mess on my porch! Kinda scary that it was in broad daylight. Bold kitty.

Got a link for that documentary? I'd love to watch it.

Seems like it might actually be a good application of the PitBull type dog. To stupid and full of fight to quit. Can't help but think that the cats would learn from that. Though they may start going for children, or some other easy prey.

Tbh I was doing the google thing (leopards taking urban dogs etc.) and what was coming up was not what I wanted to see so I won’t dive too deep.

And friendly deer.

 

[cory]

Driving down I-95 a couple weeks ago, I saw deer and wild hogs grazing together side of road in the GA/FL area. It is the first wild hogs I've ever seen.

It’s a jungle out there this morning.

They’re just entertainment, I don’t bother them.

I have the Lay's problem when it comes to wild turkey. Betcha can't eat just one!

 

[BlackSmith]

I got my fill in my younger days. Just giving back now, trying to even the score.

 

[Ed L]

Our turkeys haven't returned yet, doesn't bother me one bit.
Our DNR can take every one of the damned things....worst thing they ever did, reintroducing them.

One of my coworkers, 6'4", had a lot of pep in his step. Yup, we called him Tigger.

How come you don't like turkeys Ed?

Its got to the point theres to many, also destructive to crops, especially corn.
Hunter numbers are down, especially for turkey. Folks found out they aren't like a butterball. What little meat is there is all dark and they taste like crap.

I've never had wild turkey(aside from whiskey! :^D ). That's something I'd like to try. "Not like a Butterball" is a good start.
