Been there. Never ran away screaming, though. Best was standing in the horse paddock around 130 AM. Near total fog. Just a bit of hazy light from the barn lights. From everywhere there seemed to be chittering. Whole bunch of them just out of site. Sadly, nothing happened. The further I walked out, the further away they moved. There will be another time... "To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his Gods."
Hey, they gotta eat too! I cannot begrudge wildlife for eating my rose bushes or whatever. I am not pleased to step in a pile of bear shit, but it does wash off. Cycle of life, eat or be eaten. Drive carefully in the early morning and evening lest those hungry deer spoil your day. Oh, mice and rats are not welcome, nor are spiders, ants, and other insects whom should stay outside...good luck with that.
I see a new shooting sport here. Buzzer Run to shooters box Slide open dumpster door Draw and engage raccoon targets At the 10 second mark any raccoons you have not engaged will be catapulted at your face.
To make grandmaster you must use live raccoons, not stuffed.
It's a good thing I wasn't sitting on a stool. I'd have landed on my head.
ReplyDeleteSnowflakes and Wildlife. Not a good combination. But definitely entertaining.

Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods."
Re video: hahaha!
DeleteBut I wouldn't want one of those things jumping at my face either.
And how can man get rabies
From facing frightful ‘coons
O’er the trashes of his fathers
While receiving facial wounds?
Apologies to Macauley.

ReplyDeleteCommon sense really is a super power these days. He’s standing at the only exit, what did he expect?
ReplyDeleteA modern big bore blowgun could solve that pest problem quickly & quietly...
Those have all been bought by the FDA for their 'hood vaxx teams.
DeleteLOL!
DeleteShoulda' anticipated there'd be a gate watcher.
