we are seeing less and less Bambi's in California. Since the eco-nuts

Most every fatality of the decreaseing numbers is caused by mountain
lions. Which are not that rare here.

All the bureaucracies keep denying, but I've been reading of quite a few sightings of mountain lions east
of the Mississippi. Except for the Florida Panther, mountain lions are supposed to be extirpated in the
east, but I'm starting to doubt it.

Our local law enforcement was in denial about the coyotes for almost a
decade until one of their wives ended up face to face with one. The
the CT DEP decided to admit to the growing population, and everyone
kind of sighed and moved on. We all knew they were here a decade
before the rangers...

HAH!!!

When Duke was alive and I was still an active hunter, Duke, Skye and I
used to walk the woods over by the Thompson Dam. One day we stumbled
onto a small den of coyotes. We backed out as there were pups in the
den and Mom was not happy.

Reported it to the Rangers and was told we were mistaken - must have
been foxes. Offered to take them out to the den, but they weren't
interested.

Foxes my ass. :)
