Ya, winter showed up a lil early and a lil mean, I'm not impressed but nothing I can do ... but gives me something to gripe about at Tim's once a week !!!
Yup, not too many 4 legged critters haven't been taken by natural causes by me at one time or another, ya know lead poisoning .... ha ha. The coyotes we have around here aren't very big but they fall over just the same. We get them on the quarter next to use all the time as the owner has cattle there and a few brave ones will come up and eat apples off my lawn.
The wolves are a lot more timid but are around, closer to the mountains 1/2 hr either north or south of me. I haven't taken one in 10 years probably but I was stalked up a quad trail by 4-5 that I saw, yes I was armed and yes I was a lil concerned. Popped off a few warning rounds and they were gone. Moose, bears and skunks are the critters I really worry bout especially the skunks as they are contravening the Geneva Convention's act of possessing and using chemical weapons!!
SVK .... that sucks, I have no love for snow flakes like that!! Yes, they are out there and funny how loud they can be over a cleanly shot animal, as compared to what a wolf does to the cow it attacks, slowly attacks, eats, attacks ... till the cow dies ... slowly .... but that's "natural" ... and fine by them ... uhhh ....
Keep on .... Runnin' Loads ....!!
