They call those cats "Florida Panthers" here and you can't harm them
or interfere with their activities, even if they are eating your
livestock, pets or kids. Endangered species don't you know, in spite
of the fact that they are genetically identical to your mountain lion
and have been intentionally cross bred with Texas cougars (again same
cat)


They are not endangered here either. Can not hunt them anymore, so they
became pretty fearless. They are decimating big horn sheep, etc. if
they are eating your livestock, the state will send in a high priced to the
taxpayers shooter.

Right. I should have said 'glamping'. Did the tent bit with

Your camping counts as, well... camping.

"Camping is an outdoor recreational activity. The participants leave
urban areas, their home region, or civilization and enjoy nature while
spending one or several nights outdoors, usually at a campsite. Camping
may involve the use of a tent, caravan, motorhome, cabin, a primitive
structure, or no shelter at all."

Our idea of camping is a hotel suite that doesn't have a king sized
bed and a separate seating area. She does want a creek out back tho.
That is why we switched to renting houses.


Ditto. We'll soon "camping out" at a nice oceanside hotel in south
Florida. We'll have the Atlantic Ocean out back, along with a couple of
pools. Five or six restaurants in the hotel, plus seafood, Cuban, and
Greek restaurants a short drive away.


I camp in nice hotels, B&B and rental houses, plus my nice truck camp r at
remote lakes and rivers.

They can't do anything with them here but keep moving them around
until they get hit by a car.

Maybe you need a couple joggers killed, and then they will allow some
things.

Not a lot of jogging going on where the cougars are but a kid is not
out of the question. I also imagine there is some SSS activity going
on.

About 4 years ago we had a big one amble across the road in front of
us out on Sanibel, less than half a mile from a big condo
development.

We had one living in the scrub a number of years ago but I think that
may have been the same one that got hit by the cop car at the airport
because nobody saw it here again. In those days you could get from
here to the airport and never really get out of the woods by following
the FPL right of way to 41 and then going through the vacant land
north of the Alico rd industrial park. The new gated communities north
of me west of 41 pretty much cut off that woods tho. There is still a
lot of vacant land north of Alico tho.

Wild ones with tusks? They can be mean... last time I was in Tuscon, the locals warned me about the ones down there. They said to watch out, especially at night. You didn't want to surprise or corner them.

Mr Ed tried to **** one in the scrub. It was funny to watch and the
hog wasn't sure how to deal with it. In the end they ran away.

Mr. Ed's lucky he didn't get a nose bit off.

I was worried myself but they run hogs with dogs down here and they
were so interested in getting the hell out of there his love making
was cut short. He drove them out of the woods and when they saw us
they stopped. That was when Ed picked the pretty one and went full on
"squeal like a pig for me". It was only about 10 seconds but it was
certainly a thing to see.

I'll bet it was funny as hell. There are some youtube vids of dogs fighting groundhogs. Dogs won in
the ones I saw, but it wouldn't take much for a dog to get badly bitten.

Don't get confused, this was a 150-200 pound porker. They do still
bite tho.

Oh.
