Well, it wasn't a new field, but about a year ago, I was taking the trash out to the road. We've got a big plastic trash cart with a lid and two wheels on it. Anyway, i'm dragging this thing to the road from the house - it's about 400 feet from the house to the road and it's dusk - not quite total night. I've got 5 acres of trees about 75 feet from me.

I'm about halfway to the road when all of a sudden, something growls from inside the tree line. A deep, long, loud growl. I've never heard that growl before, except maybe at a zoo. I keep walking with the trash cart to the road and then try to decide what to do. My house is 400 feet away, the clostest neighbor is over 1000 feet and through even more trees. I decide to walk back to the house with my only weapon - a pocket knife drawn and open. I made it back OK, but it was the longest walk of my life, sweatin' bullets all the way.

Sometime later, my wife was walking the dog through our trees. Rounding a corner, she saw a mountain lion walking away from her down the path. Luckilly, she was downwind of the cat and turned around and went back to the house.

No doubt in my mind that the mountian lion was the source of the growl that night. It still gives me the creeps when I think about it.
