Had a lady once at a public discussion on bobcat trapping. Her suggestion was we should just catch them, shear them like sheep, and turn them loose unharmed. She didn’t like when I snickered in the background:
Others I’ve heard:
Whitetail rut only occurs during rifle season Whitetail mate for life
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I have had several people from Kentucky tell me that skinks will severely electrocute you if you touch their blue tails.
Opossums do have forked penises.
Keith I’ll have to look when I catch one! But to breed through the nose? Ha ha ha

Deer, elk, mulies,..bed all day long if its raining hard.
They all have to pee and poop every 35-45 minutes and they don't do that laying down. They stand up, shake off the rain, and take care of business. Watched deer and elk in the rain. like clock work they get up do their thing. Sometimes lay back down and sometimes mill around for a while.

When cows are all laying down...the fish ain't bitin'.
When possums are moving...deer are moving (this has some truth to it.)

If you pick up a toad you will get warts.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

If you get bit by a snapper, they won’t turn loose until it thunders. Possum and coon can interbreed Beaver can create water where there isnt any.( I’m talking desert dry)

Divers went down to repair the dam of the lake; saw catfish bigger than a car said they would never go back. Here it was divers and a bridge. It was northern pike over 6 feet long that made them never go back. Lol
