#1485, "RE: That is so cool!"
In response to In response to 9
|
In my life time I've seen 6 Mountain Lion, 4 Blackbear, over a dozen Beaver, over 30 Wild pig, and many Deer, Skunks, 'possums, Raccoons and snakes. The only ones I've had trouble with were a buck that was at Del Valle Lake and a Raccon at Henry W. Coe state park. The Buck was tending 3 does in the heat of the rut and my dad and I got between him and the does. Dad was shoved into the water and had to get 5 stitches low in his arm pit. The buck obviously took us as a threat to his breeding rights over the does. As for the Raccoon, I didn't get hurt by it but I couldve and it would have been my unwitting fault. I had taken shelter under a burned out Oak tree at Mahoney pond when a hail storm started. The 'coon was coming back to it's den of kits in the same tree. I had gotten between her and her babies and she was ready to kill me or die trying. Luckly I got out of there with only a bite to my backpack which I used to keep a barrier between us, and she went to check on them. The moral of these 2 incidents is be aware and don't seperate a group of animals. All my other encounters with animals have had the same conclusion; as soon as they became aware of me they maintained a safe distance or vacated the area immediately. You have little to fear of any healthy wild animal, so long as you give them there space.
Tight lines, Wade
