We worry about rabies in everything.

We usually hear about 6 or 7 people every summer being bitten by a rabid animal.

We look out after ourselves and our neighbors well being.

I still look out for my neighbors. Unfortunately I don’t know if I can say the same about them.

Last year I was coming home at midnight in the Z and was following another car on the 2 lane black top doing about 55 and thought about passing him but decided to just chill and hang back and sure enough a deer jumps out and BAM !!!
Hate those damn things

I got 7 deer with this Dodge. 3 deer with the Dodge before it. 1 turkey, 2 dogs, and a couple of small animals with the Hardbody before that. My daughter got 3 deer for her score.

One guy I used to work with avg 2 deer a year with his truck. 18 deer in 9 years that I know of. I built him a nice bumper at Elliott.

The gun club I belong to, has a $30 bounty per head. The big worry is rabies.

There use to be a state DNR bounty of $25 per coyote but since that ended about 20 yrs ago there's been an explosion in their existence

My brother worked for West Penn Power. Lead lineman. Him and another guy hit a deer. They stopped to check out the damage t the truck. While my brother is doing that. The another guy was loading the whole deer into the back of the truck. He took it home with him.

My brother was somewhat surprised.

We didn't have any coyotes at all. Then in the early 90's. They started to creep in. Now they are everywhere. They say the eastern coyote is bigger then the western coyote. Because of the food supply. I believe it. I've seen both. The ones around here are about 10 to 15 lbs heavier, and taller.

Back road at night. Missed the first 2 cows. And hit the 3rd one. That's the first time I broke my left foot.
