Not much sport in shooting caged bambis. Make that BAM(!)-bye. More and more people can live a lifetime without actually encountering any wildlife. On this coast, more and more wild animals are coming back. I never saw hawks in groups of dozen or coyotes and even bears and lot's of other animals and I spent a lot of time in the woods and fields as a kid. Now, coyotes are quite common all over the state of CT, I have been face to face by the lake. Bears in in NW CT, and even Fisher Cats, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_(animal) in the east are making a comback. Deer, and wild turkeys by the score, are not uncommon in Essex, although I have not seen signs of Fox since I have been up north, but I am sure they are still around. I beleive hunting bans are hurting, not helping in many cases. And I do not hunt. gut, clean, eat, sure, just don't ask me to shoot it  I'm apparently running a zoo here. I've got two coyotes, a huge fox and two small ones, a skunk and some babies, a dozen deer, and a few turkeys (not counting my neighbor across the street who's always trying to kill himself with his extension ladder). I'm happy to have the skunks. I understand they're fond of grubs, and better mousers than cats, something I witnessed for the first time last week. Normally, they poke around the lawn at night, moving maybe an inch every 30 seconds. But one night, I stepped out onto the porch and a skunk came jetting out of nowhere, into the groundcover two feet from the porch. I've never seen a skunk move that fast - like a cat. I just stood real still until it left.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yeah, well a frekin' skunk got my dog one day and before we knew the dog came in the house, what a frekin' mess as she sneased and rolled all over the place. This however was some kind of nulear skunk, it smelled like burnt rubber more than any other skunk I had ever smelled in my life and I an not usually that adverse to the smell of good skunk, but that's another story, this was different, and just hurt your nose. It took us weeks to get the smell out of everything, the stove, carpet, my old pipe, evrything was tainted. A few weeks later we heard squealing of brakes and as we looked outside we noticed our "friend" was now road kill. Send us to hell, but as a family we all stood at the window and cheered I don't care how many grubs theyeat. You can have em'. As always, the dog was the problem. |
