    Why didn't you stop and see me?  You could have bought me lunch? 😉 I was just down the hill from you.

    And I went to Al's right before!

    Joe Thomas has done a good bit of hunting over the years in the Shenango Wildlife area and was surprised to be having coffee with him fairly early one morning at the local eatery.  Way cool. Turns out that there has been a mountain lion reported in that area and JT was one that saw it. 

    You call him a liar. 

    Oh ya, it’s documented

    Had a Browns hoodie on at JFK coming home from a game against the Cardinals when a guy from Cleveland stopped me to chat briefly. He spent most of the time just sighing and shaking his head at how bad we were at the time. This was Hoyer/Mansfield era

    Pleased to hear the pride has been put back into the jersey and fans are flocking back. 

    Yeah, it feels good to see people getting excited about this team again.  Normally, I'd question a loyalty that ever left.  That said I saw a quote that slapped a perfect perspective on it all.  "You have to understand I'm a reasonable person that has experienced unreasonable circumstances for DECADES before you question my confidence, faith and loyalty."   And then I thought to myself with a sigh - well, I was almost reasonable...

    We've had some die hards from England in here that have come to games and tailgates.  Just wondering, do you guys have a Browns Backers club in your area that meets up for games at a local sports bar or pub?

    Yeah the British Bulldawgs meet up every Sunday to watch the Browns in a London casino. I’ve only attended once myself.

    More than a couple bears have been spotted in NE Ohio. One made it all the way to Brecksville.

    Dude! That’s a normal spring and early summer occurrence here. Those reports are fun to see. My one neighbor came out to bear poop in his drive three years ago. Two years ago just up the street one was in his garage snooping around the grill. He got it on video too. Had to be at least 400 lbs too. But mountain lions are a way different and way scarier critter. And they’re not supposed to be here. At least until JT saw one. Bears are cool and a lot like a big raccoon. A lion will stalk and eat you though. They were once prevalent just east of here too. That’s why they’re named the Nittany Lions

    I couldn't deal with seeing a bear walking around, I would pussy out and run a mile

    Same here. Though I would run a kilometer.

    And the anti- hunting crowd wants us to leave the deer alone. 🙂 What would they say if we reintroduced their natural predator timber wolves into the area?  Yeah, coyotes have made the migration East, and are pretty adaptable to urban areas. I've seen them on occasion a mile or less away from my house in Dayton. They probably could take down a faun. Used to tell my outdoor cat Ray to "watch out for the coyotes". House cats are a nice snack for those critters.

    LOL, you need some bear education. You never run from a bear- they can outrun a horse over short distances. Unless there's a climbable tree handy. Grizzlies can't climb trees, and black bears don't like to.  It is a scary situation meeting one in the wild- at least not with my trusty .300 H&H handy. We met up with Yogi in the Bridger Wilderness in Wyoming many years ago. He was about 20 feet away, and if he had come at me, he would have gotten the food sack I had in my hands. Didn't give up easily either, circled our camp for about 15 minutes- seemed like hours- before he figured out we weren't providing bear treats. That permanently cured my wife from backpacking.

    If it’s a black bear. They are only a worry if they have cubs with them, are sick or injured. Run at one, clap your hands, make yourself big and loud. They run. A grizzly? See ya!

    Tons of coyotes around here. A true nuisance. Woman up the road watched her kitty get jumped and eaten by a big red tail. And the return of the American Bald Eagles here is just spectacular. To see one here now, just go outside and look around a few minutes. Ya, gotta watch for deer. Your so called tree hugging environmentalists should learn what happens to animals suffering overpopulation. Proper game management works.

    The first post has had a similar impact in London because since they banned fox hunting in the countryside there are loads of them in the city now. Foxes are a menace, leave trash everywhere as they rip open bags looking for food. We had a lot of snow here the other year and they apparently couldn't find food by smell so instead a lot of cats went by the wayside

    I will take note of the advice, your wife sounds smart 😉

    I have done it. you just yell at them and they run away. And my brother used to chase them out of his garbage dumpsters.

    Unless they're grizzlies. But black bears are just a pain in the butt.
