wildlife story

OT but the last resting place of the cat is at the edge of a field.

Neighbor told me this: Woman hit a cat with her car, stopped, picked up the unconcious cat and put it in the back seat of her car. Went to a near by truck stop and asked about getting help for the cat. Neighbor's son was there and walked out to the car. Looked in the car and saw the cat was a bobcat. Horrified, he told the lady all the bad things that could have happened if the bobcat had waked up. He took the bobcat and put it in the back of his truck which had a cover on it. Drove home(3 or 4 miles), got someone to help him, drove to a field and finished off the cat which was occasionally twitching.

Someone did that here (N of SF Bay). Put a bobcat in the back seat and drove to a vet.

I saw a story not long ago of a father and son who thought they were rescuing a bison calf. As it was separated by them from its mother, it eventually had to be put down.

I worked for someone whose dog chased a rabbit into a no climb fence where it became wedged. She wanted me to cut it out, but it was pretty beat up. She then wanted me to take it to a vet, but declined to pay. So I told her I would take care of it. She asked if I wanted her to watch my grand daughter, I said no as I would not trust this woman to watch my cat (She jumped in pond once to save her dog and left her toddlers on the bank). My little girl, 3 at the time, asked if I was getting my boom boom. I said yes and she said, "OK. I'll cover my ears." I shot the rabbit point blank and my grand daughter immediately screamed, "Good shot!" The woman was sick.

Same granddaughter, maybe 3 years later, was telling my employer who fired me a few days ago, how her other grandfather got a coyote. He thought she meant as a pet so he asked, "Really? What's it like?" She answered, "I don't know. He shot it in the head."

Yeah, some woman smacked a bear with her car up around Star Lake right in front of my daughter one night. My daughter gets out to help (she was an emt) and this idiot has her arms wrapped around this mostly (at the moment) unconscious bear's neck blating and bawling about how sorry she was and Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. My daughter and her companions had to literally drag this hysterical fool off the bear as it started to regain consciousness.

Haven't these people ever seen the movie Tommy Boy?!

Or Elf when he tries to hug the raccoon.

I don't have to wonder, if my wife did that she would do the same thing.

Daughter #2 was about 3-4 when I had her help holding the back legs of some rabbits while I skinned them.

Wifey was not amused. I was.

Mine used to think everything at the meat counter at Safeway was "Daddy Deer."

She is 12 now and wanting to skin the next fox she snares.

Heard that Bobcat hides bring about $120-140.

Was heading to work one day and traffic was backed up. A doe had gotten trapped in the middle of a 4 lane highway. A cop was attempting to deal with it and it came over to my side of the road. Everybody slowed down to a crawl except for the driver in front of me who nailed it and broke its shoulder. Cop drags the deer out beside the drivers car and puts a round in it's head. The guy gets out of his car crying like a baby.

Once while helping my BIL & traveling From Bradford Pa. to Titusville a car hit a deer near Warren Pa. He car was driveable
& my BIL said he'd take care of the deer for her. So he had me help him throw in the back of his truck which had a utility
body with tool box's & 2 ladders bungied corded to the ladder rack. Befor we got to Youngsville I looked back threw the window
& said Bad News. That deer is standing up with it's head threw a ladder & wanting out in the worst kind of way. What a flurry
of noise as we stopped, he tried to use a 4' pipe wrench to put the deer down & doing 500.00 worth of damage to his truck. The
rubber cords let loose & then the deer left the bed taking his ladder with him.. We finally caught up to the deer & removed the
ladder & the deer bounced away acrost the river.. He looked at me & said, Don't ever do that again.

Oldest daughter [28] now just about 20 months old and her younger sister, 20 months younger, were on their 1st camping trip with their mom and I . Had a bear come into camp early in the morning and steal my Coleman ice chest. When I hollered at him he just growled back. Told wife that nobody growls at me before 8 am. Shot the bear and oldest daughter was sitting on him just before I skinned him out. Grandma was not amused. Daughter is my best hunting partner. Great shot too.

A fellow that lives in the mountains near me hit a small bear on the way to work, put it in the back of his station wagon to take it to the wildlife center,didn't end well it woke up and demolished the inside of his station wagon.Good news the bear was OK(LOL)

If you really want to laugh listen to this 911 call about deer in back seat.
