Danny, Michael, and I (Tom) couldn't be happier and more impressed with our members and friends! It would be wonderful if we all got to know each other better. Here's a forum to post images and short autobiographies of ourselves as well as any other info you would like to post about yourself. We are looking forward to meeting you all!

Hey, Ken..well, um..want to go look for a cougar
Naw, I traded mine in years ago for a pick-up! :lol: We have Mountain Lions or Cougars, or what ever you want to call them, around here. Not to long ago some livestock were killed by one. The biggest thing now is the Red Wolves. They re-introduced them back into the mountains here. At one time NC was their natural home until man killed them off. Cyotes are beginning to be a problem here though. :?
That is not what I had in mind. I need bait :lol: :lol:

They, the Red Wolves, were re-introduced about three years ago if I am not mistaken and Elk were re-introduced about five years ago. Cyotes just walked across the bridge of the Mississippi I think. :lol:

For info about East Coast coyotes, see http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news ... oyote.html.

Coyotes get along just fine with humans and their pets. They're especially fond of cats and small dogs... :D

I'm writing this from a sparsely populated area of eastern Washington State. Around here, coyotes are just a rather pleasant part of the scenery, and they pretty much keep to themselves as long as the small pets don't run loose.

Actually the badgers have been more obvious lately -- they keep invading the outskirts of town in search of better hunting grounds. Not a problem, though, unless you foolishly try to corner one. "Don't badger the badgers", say the safety notices.

Interesting bit of info there Rik. I never knew that the coyote had been around out here that long. We are just beginning to see them in our area. :D
