I wouldn't have noticed so soon, had it not been for ST waking me up early this morning with a blood curdling Scream.
One flew in the back door during the night, its been warm, so we left it open.
"Just open the front door Honey, and let it out, its more afraid of you, than you are of it."
Her response: "No its not!!! It might fly into my hair!!!"
All I could do was laugh. ;D ;D ;D ;D

When the bugs come out, they won't be out for another 6 weeks. 8)
I live on a river. Bats are my friends. ;)
I didn't actually scream...I just woke him up loudly. ;D ;D ;D
All I can think is some old movie as a child scared me about bats flying into a person's hair. I have yet had one do it but the fear is still there. :o :o

That was a documentary and bats really do land and lay eggs that burrow into the brain and hatch, only to eat the brain and take over the corpse, leaving behind a mind numbed idiot.
Where do you think libs come from?

Yes, we are all digging the bats and the owls and the hawks, even the coyotes. The mice on the other hand are a pain in the butt.

Same here, but unfortunately the coyote bring the mt lion.
We lose about 10 pets in the area to coyote, but the lions take on the livestock when they run off the coyote.
But you're right about the mice, my cat gets overwhelmed and gives up, just last year we killed at least 30 mice by trap, it was the worst year ever by 10 fold. :o
No lions around here. The coyotes are extremely afraid to be seen. Most folks shoot them on site. I don't, because I like to kill only what I eat, but I have no problem with other people doing it as long as the conservation department allows it.
Same here Inked, I'm no hunter, but have no problem killing for food.
Hell, I would even poach deer if I had to, around here we view them as rats with antlers. :D
No need to poach around here. We have an awesome conservation department and you can pretty much buy a deer tag for $17, then fill it, then buy another tag for $5, fill it, buy another for $5 to infinity. We never kill enough deer according to wildlife biologists. Between the long bow season and the 2 week firearm season, you can easily fill your deep freeze as long as you can shoot.

Here its a lottery, you buy a ticket for more that a hundred bucks, and they tell you where you can hunt, sometimes you may have to drive more than a hundred miles through the forest, only to find there wasn't one deer due to lack of food.
Ca has this thing all screwed up, many of the deer Winter right in neighborhoods where they know they won't be shot.
I have hit three on three different motorcycles, so I sold the Harley and called it quits, deer are like rabbits, shine a light in their eyes and they freeze. :o
We ( My father and I ) got skunked opening weekend last year. We were on our way home Sunday night pissing and moaning about the big buck my dad missed when all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I saw this monster 12 pointer come across the highway right in front of us. Screwed the truck up real good. About $3500 worth of damage. We kept the meat and the rack. Luckily the very first vehicle to come down the road was a wrecker. He took us and the truck back down to my cousin's and I called my wife to come get us. We came back down with my truck and a float the next day. This is why I make sure I go with my old man when he goes hunting. You should have seen the panic in his eyes when he thought we were stranded on the side of the road. He's just turned 70 and he is just now starting to slow down and realize there are things he can no longer do. He panics sometimes, something I have never known him to do before.
It's hard watching your parents get old.
Anyway, yeah, deer are responsible for an ungodly amount of wrecks here in Missouri. We kill the shit out of them though and never fill the quota by our conservation department ( arguably the best in the country).
WOW! Glad you guys didn't get hurt.
My dad passed a few years ago at 93, but he never slowed down, thats what kept him so young.
Rode his Harley till he was 90, but gave it up when it tipped over and he couldn't pick it up by himself.
Still riding at 90. That's great. Nice that you got to spend so much time with him. I hope I'm as lucky.
