And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Not what you want to see crossing the road at night near your cabin
we have mtn lion nailing wolf hybrids here in the central Rockies, I found remains of several near castle mountain rec area. went climbing up slope and found mtn lion lair with canis and deer carcass about down slope from the sheltered area the lion called home. other side of the hill is a wilderness area. they do not usually hit the campsites to the east but seem to find easy pickings in the wilderness area. canis usually stay on the ground. for lion, look up a lot. minimum noise maker is a .45acp. a lot of runners on county trails fail to do even that and then the media gets to call them 'victims'. I never complain about wolves doing in whitetails, everyones gotta eat
Wolf dog-coyote hybrid Coywolf is an informal term for a canid hybrid descended from coyotes, eastern wolves, gray wolves and dogs. All members of the genus Canis are closely genetically related with 78 chromosomes and therefore can interbreed.
The coywolf is a coyote-wolf hybrid found throughout eastern North America, from Canada south to Virginia.
I live about an hour west of Nashville, our monied neighbor has 30 cell trail cams. Got 3 vids of mountain lions and 1 of a red wolf. The State says they're nowhere near here. We know the (deep)state is planting them to reduce the deer, our food, and if they're lucky, reduce the people.
Tree Mike you are spot on. In southern middle Tenn, we have seen both for 20 years. TWRA seems to deny their existence. I suspect they get paid under the table to assist the breeding and release of these predators.
Friend had a cougar in his eastern KY backyard. Called Natural Resources. Guy came out looked at the paw prints and, while nodding his head "Yes", said "Nope, just a bob cat." Seems if they confirm an animal on the Fed's endangered list they have to divert funds from existing programs to one dictated by the Feds. Soooo, an official "Nope" while a STRONG recommendation to keep the dogs in at night.
Is that a skin walker or a chupacabra?
ReplyDeleteNice doggie.

If your cabin is close to a road you're doing it wrong.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Leonides when ya need him?
ReplyDeleteIt is your common variant wolf. Which is why you don't go unarmed into the woods.
ReplyDeleteand you don't go in the woods in the upper reaches of the northeast unarmed. The brush wolves are getting big and bring friends.

Most people have no idea just how big a true Canis lupis can get.
ReplyDeletePeople claim there are virtually no instances of a wolf attacking a human being in North America. I want a gun in the woods anyway.
ReplyDeleteHave a look at the section on North American wolves in Peter Capsticks book 'Maneaters'.
DeleteSome people claim that men can have babies too...
DeleteI've got lots of guns and ammo... Bring it on!!! And that "road" is my driveway.
ReplyDeleteSuch is what bumps in the night. Unfortunate about Red's grandmother. Yes, it is a metaphor, but this demonstrates the basics of the profile.
ReplyDeleteMy cute dog is about 15lbs but he thinks he looks like that when someone comes up the drive.
ReplyDeleteLol! I have a dog just like yours. 15 lbs. of fury & fire. Then she hides behind me.

ReplyDeleteNo wolves in Eastern MA, but coyotes and they are getting big. Crossbreeding with dogs I understand.

ReplyDeleteillinois dnr said the same thing for years. when the trail cam evidence got to be too overwhelming, they finally admitted. typical gov. agency.
DeleteSeriously, that's real? It looks massive and mythical.
ReplyDelete‘Squatch’s pup.
