You ever smell a bear...................it's a toss up betweenz them and a buzzard that smell worzer

OT were here at the foot of the Blue Ridge, lots of vinyards and Orchards peaches apples.  Then there is some corn, they got some of the best pickens in the world here. Guy does the well work shot a 400 pounder 2 seasons ago.

[Ozark Tracker]

LR  they have a blueberry farm up here on the mountain, it's about 20 acres of em, when they get ready to start picking, they always have to watch out, 9 times out of 10 there will be a bear down the row somewhere eating his fill.

they always have a few new pickers, don't never go back.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Long as they don't have a few that go into the fields and are never heard from again I reckon its okay OT!

[Delmonico]

That bear hazard used to be one of the things I enjoyed about our place in the Sierras; we had about an acre of almost solid berry thicket down the hill from the house on the lower part of our property, and a lot of the times when the dogs were makin' a fuss at the down-the-hill fence in the yard, I could expect to spot a bear down there.  Of course, that might not be the only reason for the ruckus; this "badger hound" Corgi-Bassett mix we have would pitch a fit at a bunny rabbit, as quick as he'd sound off on a meaner critter.  He ain't a real dummy, though; he stayed inside at night, but would ask to go out, sometimes, if there was something for to be "interested" in outside.  One night, he got me up about an hour after we'd gone to bed, and when I went to let him out, the cat was sitting at the door wanting in, but not making his usual noises - about an hour or more earlier than was normal for himl.  When I opened the door, the cat headed for the bedroom, the dog went out onto the deck and sniffed, then he headed back the same way.  I thought this was a bit odd, so I turned off the light, and stepped out onto the deck, to see if I could hear or smell anything unusual, and noticed that it was awful quiet out there - made the short hair stand up on me.  I secured the house, something we seldom did out htere in the boonies, checked the loads in my scattergun and long gun, and sat down in the living room to soak it all up for a while; I did notice that the dog was laying as far back behind the bed as he could get, and the cat had got up on the bed between the pillows.  Real spooky, but after a bit, the crickets started up, and the tension in the air seemed to ease, and I went back to bed; the animules didn't ask to go out, though, until after the sun was lighting the sky in the east.  I went and did some scouting for sign the next morning, but never did find anything out of the ordinary.  Might have been a sasquatch, eh??!!

[Silver Creek Slim]

Or cougar.

[litl rooster]

Wasn't Trinity just out there?






First cougar I ever seen was between Beale AFB and the Grass Valley area. 30 plus years ago. I was a passenger in a truck going up a dirt road then.  Seen a few since, and always knew when the horses and mules were skidish too start looking

Coulda been a visitor from another planet...

Wasn't Trinity just out there?

...

Matter of fact, it was me.  I remember that night... I had just taken my shoes off an then the crickets stopped their noise.

Just look for bear poop with green cards in it.

Did Jose and Juan even have green cards?

Slim said:

Could'a been, Slim, but most of the time, the presence of any natural native critter didn't shut the night bugs and birds up.  That's what was so eerie about this event.  We had almost every variety of varmint up there, and lots of deer, so predators were surely about all the time.  But, that total quiet was spooky.  I figured if it was a human, the dog would have let on, and the cat would have just made himself invisible for a spell, but they went and hid; so, what ever it was, I'm glad I didn't have to play with it.

[Delmonico]

alright am I losing my mind? did someone delete a post

Nope, not in here, check elsewhere.
