    Was wondering where all them critters have gone, all the stray kids and dogs are gone up here in the mountains, they must be looking for some fresh meat. They do like all the road kill and bodies that are hidden down in those cities, ever see all those missing people alerts and have you noticed the homeless population shrinking?

    Wolves are smart like that. A Chinese woman found a baby wolf and raised it like it was a dog. One day the wolf started jumping on her and shoving her with it's front paws, then started snapping at her legs. He kept all that up while pushing her toward her shack she and her husband lived in. She ran inside and the wolf sat just inside the door and wouldn't let her out. Then, and unexpected terrible ice storm hit with high winds and large hail. Not long afterward the storm moved on and the wolf stood up and started wagging it's tail and everything was fine then.

    When it snows and I go out to sweep the driveway early it is like a story book with the tracks in the snow, you can see the small animals moving somewhere then the big cats like bobcats and the mountain lions stalking them, then a area of disturbance and fur all scattered. The coyotes left pretty much stay back from the humans, they know they are ####### and will shoot them because they are scared. And I live on a edge of a wildlife area that everybody pays big bucks to go into, they move here and get scared and kill my buddies. Liberals ugh.

    They used to have a $5.00 bounty on them critters but I think that went away, just do not swerve to hit or miss them, if it is there time then they a splotch on the road and splatters on your truck.

    well they also made a loud ka-thunking sound.

    each one, ran from the other side of the road, under the guardrail and into my path.

    i did not see either one, as there are no lights on the roadway, and then they dart out very fast. sheesh, i have run over raccoons, deer, turtles, rabbits, just no humans ....yet....

    THe humans just wait on the overpasses or have witness,s so that the family will be taken care of by them lawyers that go after everyone and brag about how much they can get, animals, they do learn, remember when they put 80 across Wyoming, all the antelope hanging on the fences the first couple of years, barely see any anymore.

    one time i recall going across 80, in WY, was a herd one one side, and a herd on the other, and they all darted across the highway..mass hysteria by the animals.
