this is my kind of humorso the mountain lions are back in our neck of the woods... i guess two nights ago a goat was taken at the bottom of our road. that's almost two miles from us but they will generally be taking their "cubs" out of their own territory this time of year to show them how to hunt. which means they will be comming up the ridge for the next couple of weeks. they are huge and will grab a child like its a nice late afternoon snack.
one of my good friends who used to live up where we do used to bring along a small goat where ever he went when he was a child. his father "thought it was a good idea" for him to do so... wondering why? why would a man ask his son to travel around with a goat? BAIT!
ideally the mountain lion would look at the two and decide... "hmmm, the pink one smells funny and makes a lot of noise, but that hairy looking thing looks like one i ate last year and that shit was good!!!"
so the neighborhood is all up in arms again this year about the fucking mountain lions... you figure that we live on their land and have been in contact with them ever since, we'd have figured out a few ways to either eradicate them or live with them... such as , putting animals in at night. boarding up old barns and shit so they have no where to hide during the day on your ranch. not leaving small children out at night, or dogs, or cats, chickens, horses, cows, old people in wheel chairs, deer carcasses, ugly chicks, etc...
ummm, here is another bright idea... don't march around the town saying you are going to shoot one of these fucking things!!! people will notice and complain about you. and you quite possibly could go to jail! if you see it, shoot it, skin it and shut the fuck up about it... you could get a permit for it, when they are threatening your livestock or family, but then you have the fucking government all up on your property and um... ours!!!
so people, if have predatory animal problems.... please deal with your particular situation with some common sense and tact.... don't yammer on about how your going to be killing this animal, just do it and shut up. thanks for posting the sign at the bottom of the hill telling us about your experience though. and don't be setting no fucking traps around you place to kill it either, we all got dogs that love the smell of something rotting, just like mountain lions do... and if you kill my dog i might accidentally pretend to be a mountain lion and eat your goats, horses,chickens and perhaps your small children too!!!
anyway, that's what i got for you this morning... hope its enough....

yup, got the same big kitties around here too. them, bobs, bears, elk, deer and 'yotes. meanwhile the feral cat population has taken a sudden nosedive...hmmmmm.
you know what you do to help keep wild critters off your property and out of your gardens and pens? piss mark. no kidding, this is entirely truthful, I am not messing with you. it works. ever see the movie 'Never Cry Wolf'? there ya go.
piss post your property the same way every other animal does. if you can find their marks, post over theirs and post higher.
this sounds like bullshit, i know it does, but IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM. (and pee is cheap!) how do i know? because I DO IT and I've done it for the past 20 years. (I've seen coyotes, for example, stop, tuck tail and BOOK ASS at one of my posts, in fact, and i really don't eat that much garlic! :D ) of course I use a catch vessel; i'm not quite THAT country...yet. you have a natural pour spout. so get out there with a 40 and start swiggin and whizzin, boy.
first nations!!! you are absolutly correct with that measure and should edit my post to include it!!! i have seen that great movie and it does work... thus the term "pissing contest" here. with dogs on every property here its no wonder the mountainlions usually go around us but they did pull a goat from our immediate neighbor last year! and the one neighbor who has no dogs is the one with the most shit in her yard!!! she thinks its a crack up (thank god, she doesnt complain about it!)and jokes about it all the time that "she needs to start marking her territory".
