I agree with what you posted earlier except when an invasive species is introduced. That is historically catastrophic and has to be handled head on. Unless something new is done concerning wild hogs the results will be devastating.
Is this about Obama's Momma?
This wasn't the thread to post in if you expected to momentarily hijack its intent and purpose. The Bear Pit would have been a much better choice.
We will try this again:

Really, I didn't start the thread......a little respect for any of our veterans that have passed with no family............
I used to shoot every bobcat I saw. I’d guess 50+ over my lifetime. Largest was 24 lbs. Most were young and made a foolish error in judgement. I don’t shoot bobcats or snakes (unless the dogs or the rattler head toward each other). Still shoot coyotes when I get the chance. Pastures are full of field rats and pack rats. Very unbalanced population. The jackrabbit population is huge also.
Had two ML encounters. One was about midnight and the only thing between me and the roar was a nylon tent. My son and I both just about shipped our pants.

I walked right past where this guy was bedded down on the way to my stand, 30 minutes after the sun came up he got up and walked around oblivious to my presence until he walked directly down wind of me.
You’ll shoot your dick off...

"Officers arrived and found the man in the meat department with the gunshot wound, police said."
So....I guess you could say.....
He shot himself in.....the...meat department?
Well, the cats in the forests. We have some different animals here. No mountain lions, just lynxes. These are quite careful animals, difficult to encounter.
Neither are these easy to find!

Made the 100 mi. trip with 3 other vets. I knew this would make news when we had to park 3 blocks away.
Purchased a Glock 20, in 10mm for when I hunt in lion country. Don't start nuthin, won't be nuthin.
The hogs. especially the young ones are perfect lion food. We watched a sounder of hogs come into our area with thermal one night. We were waiting for a very large boar we knew was sometimes in the area so we just watched. A lion came in downwind from the west behind the sounder. Once the lion knew we were there, it jumped up on a downed white oak tree and just laid down and watched us with its tail flipping from about 25 yards away. After about 30 minutes, the lion left the same way it had come in. We were scanning a field outside of Maydale in east Texas waiting for a sounder to come into the area. We were using thermal cameras with monitors overlooking the area while we were in a camper. We watched a lion come about 10 yards from our camper and lay down watching the door with its tail flipping. My guess is that lion had done that before an was successful in ambushing a dog coming out the door. We watched him on the monitors for almost an hour before he left. Again the locals have known about them for decades. The young hogs sometimes won't spook with the rest of the sounder if they are in tall grass. They will hunker down and we have actually picked them up by hand. Easy pickings for a lion.
Of all of Capstick's writings, that story is what comes to mind when I hear his name...or jaguar...or spear.
"Death In The Long Grass" should be required reading.
There was another one I read by the Chief Warden of the Nairobi Game Preserve, but I can't remember what the name of it was, and my Google-fu is failing. Something like "Blood Runs Red on the Dark Continent"...?
In it there is a story about a leopard (which he considered the most dangerous of the Big Five) who killed a village child, and the child's father wounded it with a spear. It was his job as warden to put the wounded animal down before it killed another child. He tracked it to an area thick with brush. He had to go into the brush and take it at close range. He wore an American football helmet, and homemade armor he made out of a flight jacket by sewing triangular plates onto it, and then a big leather collar to protect his neck. He went in with a pump shotgun, and said he took a step every couple of minutes. It ended with a silent charge from about 20 feet. It was a hair raising story.

While this is a cool note, realize that so so so many more people were killed during the same time frame by 1800s vintage tin children’s toys...or falling off a gazebo onto Burt Reynolds’ pile of discarded violin cases.
It’s so hard for people to see the scale of this mass of humanity we live in.

He cashed in all of his lucky chips that day.
