Been using the tape for years high lining animals where escape could mean a long hike. Makes good replacement halter and reins too

Great buck. Is that an Indian ruin you're in, top picture?

Yep. You can use a firearm but the 1/4 mile rule applies. If there is an "occupied structure" closer than 1/4 mile then a pellet gun or bow are your options. Technically, 1/4 mile rule applies to hunting this bobcat too, yes? You'll have the permission of the homeowner (gf) but not nessisarily the neighbours, so no weapon is an option. Just trying to look at this thru the eyes of a warden. G&F would probably trap and remove it for you.

I can't tell you how many parallels I can draw between our dads. Mine too has out lived 4 sisters WWII vet Dropped out of school to support family Recently revealed out of the blue how he wished he could have finished school. Born and raised in Erie...... I'm happy for you Bob and wish him a happy birthday and many, many more.

Love the house horny toad shots

you guys still trap them?

Lot of parallels to my dad from the Erie area Bob, must be something in the lake water. They don't make them like that anymore.

I have seen coons & badgers hit right there also We had a big ol badger hit in the road just a few hundred yards north of my coon sighting on 163rd

Dang, that's an artillery piece. I'm still hurting over mine stolen 20 years ago

PBS Nature RACCOON NATION Feb 07, 2012 Geography: The raccoon is native to North America and can be found throughout the United States, except for parts of the Rocky Mountains, and southwestern states like Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. New World Encyclopedia: New habitats that have recently been occupied by raccoons (aside from urban areas) include mountain ranges, such as the Western Rocky Mountains, prairies, and coastal marshes. After a population explosion starting in the 1940s, the estimated number of raccoons in North America in the late 1980s was 15 to 20 times higher than in the 1930s, when raccoons were comparatively rare. Urbanization, the expansion of agriculture, deliberate introductions, and the extermination of natural predators of the raccoon have probably caused this increase in abundance and distribution.[5] I believe they've always been in wet areas of AZ, but their range and population has exploded. I'm trying to find an article I read last night published by the U of A regarding 19th century fur trappers in AZ unable to locate raccoons here.

I'm trying to find that, read it years ago when there weren't many around, think it was Natl Geographic. The notion that they are not 'indigenous'is so ridiculous, maybe they edited that out. Like allforelk wrote, "unit 8 from the 80s on" kind of encapsulates it, they've spread like hogs in TX. My earliest and for years, only encounter with them was at Colossal Cave in 1977. I didn't know one was in a trash can and when I pushed the lid open it grabbed the bag from me. Scared the crap out of me. Coons are damned smart too. About 17 years ago I was living in WA. There was a koi pond outside my bedroom porch. Heard a ruckus one night and it was a pair of coons working together to catch fish. One coon was in the pond herding the kois to the opposite end of the pond where his partner was lying on the edge and scooping the fish onto the land.

Well, we've already covered a third of the state. At what point are they considered indigenous? Crap, I best double up my efforts to secure the ducks and chickens.

I went varmit calling under the full moon. Didn't seem too bright and while driving home heard on the radio there had been a subtle eclipse.

I hauled horses in and out of Freely. Where ever there's stock yards, there's cutting horses. Yup, smells there and the wind seems to never stop. It's just north of the airport so traffic on the main arteries and toll roads too.

Great pics, GreyGhost. I feel lucky just seeing sheep tracks today in 42. Closest I've got was in Banff in the early 70's. Dad lured one with an apple into our motorhome, it actually stuck it's head in for photos.

After an evening of predator calling I had two follow me 5 miles back to my vehicle. Of course having a squeaky toy in my pocket helped too. Had no inclination to shoot them.

I thought the same way but it's still stealing. A lot of old folks probably contribute not realizing how far left the Democratic Party has become.

Deja vu all over again

Germans listened for the sound of an expelled Garand clip meaning empty. We had a cupboard full of surplus Garand clips, think there was 8 rounds in a clip

I relate, Seemed from 10 years on Halloween was spent hunting. Dad would take me afield deer or antelope scouting around 9 or 10, started filling my own deer tag a year or two later. By then had been squirrel and rabbit hunting 5 years.

I bought one of these for my 740, works great. http://m.ebay.com/itm/172321239209 This link is for a short action but with a little digging you'll find one for your .06
