  Very True about the Redtails. Some morons around the state have taken to shooting them again. I know of a couple of these dufusses that have been fined heavily for their folly.

  Huntingnerd, is that you pictured?
  Should you die tomorrow, you sure don't want to go thinking "Damn! I'm still a virgin!"
  Especially since you might end up one of the "72 virgins" promised to our Middle-Eastern brethren. [;)]
  
  
  Yeah that's me. I'm not planning on fixing my virginity as I don't plan on getting married for at least 2-3 more years. I don't think I have to worry too much about being on of the cursed "72" [;)]. I don't plan on going anywhere and besides, I don't think that whole plan of the Mid-East Bros. is very plausible. (Mythbusters plug) [xx(]

  We have a few right around the house...Purdy thinks they are MONSTERS when we let her out at night. Ours are pretty small compared to the ones you guys are showing!

  Good local myth, but highly unlikely and far too much liability if they did it. Cougars are doing well in most areas and are definately expanding their range again.
  
  During the early part of the century farmers cleared fence rows and areas between field and also enlarged fields. This combined with drought in the "dust bowl" years to create large tracts of earth with no windbreaks. As I travel now, I see the same thing happening again. Where I grew up in the mid-west, the farmers knew that what was good for wildlife was good for farms and they left fence rows and ravines timbered. It created a lot of fine habitat for small game and game birs aw well as travel routs for deer and larger animals. Fewer family farms now and more corporate, and less habitat for wildlife.
  
  UHHH I believe I said that...Also,,,,no MYTH,,,when a Dept. Officer comes in the E.R. wth scratches on his arms and finally states what did this,,must to his displeasure, "I was letting loose a cougar and his paw swiped me" that about sums it up...nambu
