My daughter and I were walking back from the grocery store and there's a part of a forest that hasn't been cleared, we heard an aggressive growl from the bush right next to us about 5 feet in. We've heard that growl before and knew it was a cougar, We didn't stick around LoL And then about 2 minutes later we saw a huge bat swooping bugs :)
Has happened to me once or twice. Some older women hunting younger guys.
by now i only saw a wild moose eating grass on the street in banff town
neither black bears or cougars i've ever met in my life

Do you live right in the city of Vancouver Annie? A large carnivore right inside the city limits would be kinda kewl.
I can easily see this thread taking a wrong turn. :lol:

Yep, I would say it is within the realm of possibility. :lol:

With the possible exceptions of Jay and Fash just about anyone was thinking like a smartass.
Sometimes at night you can hear the screams of the victims.

I know right... That poor poor man.
I'm in the Tri City area and we have bears, cougars, coyotes, racoons all the time. We have bear scratches on our fence from them climbing over and when we forget to close the gate, a huge family of racoons like to hang out in our yard. Just last week they had to tranquilize a momma bear and her cubs and move them to a safer area.

Last summer we had a black bear that used to come at night and swim in our pool, bastard made a hell of a mess. :x
Just shoot them, skin them and sell the fur.
Quote from: "Odinson"
You sound like my husband. Unfortunately bear season is not in the middle of the summer. :lol:
I hate when people shoot something just to kill it instead of just letting it be :x
Me 2 Annie

Victims? Lol, ..... Come see me. I'll give you a lesson in "night screams"

If he is nordic, killing animals is in his genes. :lol:
The season started yesterday in here. I can get atleast 4500e of the fur and the meat is a delicacy and restaurants pay well for it.

Right after the sun sets down.

why don't u shoot them with anaesthetic rifle and move them out of your property?
We don't leave food out and try not to bother them. They're only doing what animals do when they're hungry, they look for food. I hate hearing about bears or cougars being shot, so sad :cry:
Quote from: "Annie"
I would rather shoot a beautiful mammal with a camera rather than a rifle.
Oh, how did quoting Jay turn my post into his? :?:

Nonsense.
Wolves have been killing our hunting dogs for a while now. Skilled hunting dogs are expensive and they are of sentimental value to us... A pal.
My norwegian hunting dog has a partner whom will take care of wolves which are a threat. My 2meter wolf-dog. He has already killed a white wolf which is usually the leader of the pack.
1253 pound bite against rottweilers 400 pound bite.
He is very loving though... Yesterday he played with 2year old Alex and 4years old Sara. They are quite fond of my dogs.
Wolf-dogs only get insane because of the work they are usually utilized at. That kind of work renders humans insane too.

weird.....very weird...... i don't remember replying this passage above.........did anyone edit my comment in some ways? :o
Quote from: "Annie"
u scared me..... :D
i supposed that someone had hacked in my account to leave that message
back to the topic, i disagree with people who shoot animals for fun or excitement or any reasons else
but if i were u i'll try to move them out without making them injured or dead
so anaesthetic rifle will be the good choice to paralyze them, for keeping them away from my children who may get attacked or scared by them

That situation is different though Odie..
If a farmer is losing livestock or crops to wild animals they have to put a stop to it even if it means killing the wild animals..
The same thing applies to expensive hunting dogs.

Depends how much wolf is in it. 2nd or 3rd generation wolf dogs are great (most of the time). 1st generation half wolf/ half dog can be as dangerous as wolves if not handled by a competent strong willed owner. I've never seen one that makes a good house pet.
We have wolves here in WA as well but they generally keep their distance from human habitations. Sometimes you can hear them at night off in the distance. Their call is different than of the western coyote; the wolf call is deeper and longer. Their howls drive the neighborhood dogs nuts.
I have a male Keeshond, a female Siberian and they generally keep almost anything out of the yard in terms of wild animals. I also have two American Eskimo miniatures (pains in the ass) that my husband brought home from a job site. They were abandoned and after living with them for 2 years now I know why. They are the most destructive and vicious little shits I've ever come across. Owning them is like living in a house full of God damn wolverines. Good thing they are so loveable or I would have shipped them off to the "farm" a long time ago. :lol:
I have come face to face with cougars, bears, etc.. in the woods. One time I came home to a large pack of wild dogs in my yard when I lived on top of a mountain. My dog (a Border Collie) was growling on the porch fending them off. I climbed a tree until they left hoping nobody else would come along while they were there. I only saw them once. They were all different breeds and sizes.
Ya, a temp paralyzer shot would be great for people to use in case they are attacked. Every year someone in my area is either attacked by a bear or cougar :-( Last year we had a momma bear and her cub running between houses in the middle of the day while there were lots of kids playing in the neighborhood. And these kids don't seem to realize the danger they can be in if they are in the path between momma and her baby. Good thing that all us neighbors generally know each other and would help each others kids if we need to and the kids know they can come to our house if they are in danger for any reason and can't get to their house.
Quote from: "Annie"
I would be so scared for my children if I had bears and cougars in my neighbourhood.
:shock:
My kids are grown but when they come home late at night, I worry they'll come across a bear or cougar. We've had a cougar outside our fence a few times, she can smell the cat next door. Same as the coyotes, they're getting frustrated they can't get that cat. My neighbor's cat is out during the day but on a leash and can only go to the fence but he sneaks under the fence and sits there, watching the kids play during the day. Well before night, he's inside. His scent is right in the middle of her fence and ours. :?

Attracting wild animals into your yard..
I am lucky, all we get are wild rabbits.
Yep, hubby hoses the fence down all the time, hoping it'll wash the scent away.
Quote from: "Annie"
Shen Li told me she puts out carrots and alfalfa for hares..
I don't think she would be doing that where you live.
Quote from: "Annie"
Exactly how is he hosing the fence down?
Human urine can sometimes keep wild animals away as well. :lol:
Big ass dog keeps animals away as well.
Haha Renee I'll tell him that :lol:
I'd love to have a dog but we just don't have the room for another pet.
