Probably 20 or so years ago, just starting to hear about a few Mtn. Lion sightings in Eastern, SD and earlier in the week was a confirmed sighting a handful of miles from the large grove I used to hunt.

I would often times rake a trail in the last couple hundred yards into my stand after the leaves were down. So I'm walking in the dark by the moonlight as I can see my trail pretty well.

Heard the weirdest growl literally right in front of me, about chit my pants as I'm fumbling for my light. At eye level less than 10 feet in front of me was a coon. I have never heard a coon sound like that before that or after that encounter.

Few other stories I still have no awnsers to, that I'll share another time.

lol
I was climbing up a tree one morning just at daylight and got to a fork in the tree, reached up to one side and pulled myself up and put my chin in the fork, started hearing a very loud growl so I switched on my headlamp only to realize my chin was sitting on the opening into a hollow tree and a freaking angry Coon was staring back up at me about 3 inches from my nose
I let go real fast and dropped back down.
Took me a few minutes to compose myself

I wonder what it is that they don't like about them?

Did you ever smell one ? They ******* stink. lol

 

[M1A1ABRAMS]

What I don't understand is why they'd drink diesel fuel, you wanna talk about something that doesn't smell like you should eat it! . But I know a guy who caught it on his motion tripped camera at a remote cabin…dang black bear busted into his shed, carried out a Jerry can in his mouth, busted it open AND WAS DRINKING THE CONTENTS!!!

So I guess cocaine bear isn't to far fetched ?

I think it's better to let people draw their own conclusions. You guys are why I love this forum.

My eyesight is getting bad enough even if I got them apart I probably wouldn't be able to see them
