My nephew was taking out the garbage around 9 am this morning...opened the front door and there was a good size Bobcat staring at him....then It ran behind the house and hung out on a downed tree. And just so you know...this is a neighborhood with houses close together...kids riding bikes ..on the paved cul-de-sac. In all my years I have nevah seen a live bobcat. I’ll see if I can get a pic posted up. And cats are protected here in NH.

Groneys will sure be interesting as I have always sold my furs to local fur dealers.

No hunting on Sunday....if that isn't the dumbest law ever, I don't know what is. Unreal.

We have plenty of wildlife in our small community. That's what happens sometimes. I usually don't jump right to the rabies. I watched a red fox in the middle of town (in my back yard) who thought he was going to make an easy meal out of our housecat. She had other plans.

We occasionally have lynx around our yard, and they act pretty tame. Like they're completely clueless around humans. Once I found one crouching by our mailbox early one bitter cold morning, around -45. It was crouched on the lane all frosted up and I thought it was our neighbor's dog, lost and hypothermic. I hopped out of truck walked up to it saying "here Buddy, let me get you warm." I crouched down and was within 4 feet of it when it stood up and blinked. It was a lynx, and boy was I surprised.
