I was walking my dog last night and a coyote crossed 10 yards or so in front of me. My dog is 50 lbs and I am pretty ugly and menacing so he just went on his way. Sometimes a cougar or black bear will come into the neighborhoods but it's pretty rare.

Once in a while we see a loner coyote that looks unhealthy and is actively hunting mid day. They will sometimes approach and act aggressively. We let animal control handle those since they may be carrying disease. They set live traps and either relocate or euthanize based on their health condition and threat to humans.

Used to live west of Sapphire and one street N of Thoroughbred. Had a 63 lb Airedale where nothing would come in that backyard that she wouldn't be on top of. One day she was out front playing with a young Dobie that was 10 lbs heavier and she was running that dog. Fast, agile, strong, fearless and smart.

Her favorite past time was rats.

One Sunday morning at the stop sign at 19th and San Antonio in Upland, a momma raccoon and her two little ones crossed in the cross walk right in front of my car. Where upon crossing they disappeared into the critter freeway storm drain opening.

If I lived on some acreage I would have 3 or 4 Airedales and nothing would come around. One of my neighbor lady's uncles grew up on a ranch in Colorado in the 1920's where they would hunt Bears with a pack of Airedales.

Ha. I literally laughed out loud for more than a minute.

Had 'em in my yard when I lived on Mulholland near Coldwater. Dozens of deer, a few raccoons and one bobcat. Too wily [see what I did there?] to be tagged as I drove, I did see plenty on the raceway, and wouldn't have hesitated to take one out.

I knew these guys were out there as I hear them all the time. Finally picked up a few on the camera.

These two guys were having a disagreement about some oats that the camera's owner left for them in the woods.

Coyote's sing to us in packs most night...my pit bull try's to sing along but he's a terrible basso profundo...

Saw 4 deer yesterday as I interrupted their mid day nap....think I'll put my game cam back out. But now I want a fish cam . I saw the biggest dang turtle I've ever seen in my life (out in the wild) leisurely swimming in one of my ponds...the thing was huge, and though turtles are VERY human adverse and crafty, I can't believe I've never seen it before...body appeared to be maybe 2'+, and stretched out head to tail! it looked maybe 5' long...and that ain't no fish story either

[Jolly Amaranto]

Dang, I've been busted.

Jerome that is an extremely rare photograph of a wolverine. About ten years ago I was hiking with my neighbours near Jasper, Alberta on the Skyline Trail and Barry my neighbour spotted a wolverine chasing a marmot(like a gopher) amongst a pile of rocks about 150 yards away. Apparently according to a documentary I saw(PBS I think) a wolverine can cover many miles a day. Looks like in your pic it is following a well travelled highway....

The things that struck me were A. how long its torso was B. how beautiful its coat was C. how in the f did it make to 119 and Wentworth?

Back in '08 the CPD chased and shot down a mountain lion on the north side.

It is a rare photo, but I have to confess that it wasn't taken by my camera. My neighbour's son-in-law is doing global warming research in the far north, and this camera was set up to observe some weather related phenomenon when all the creatures seen put on a show. I have a bunch of photos of his showing a broad variety of animals, including the wolverine, wolves, etc.

The photo above of the two interacting deer came from the same neighbor's back 40. Since there is strong cougar evidence around here lately, I'm tempted to set up a camera also.

My neighbour's back 40 again.
