huntertrapper:
yes, bobcat, black bear, coyotes and i have heard reports of cougar and know a guy who said he saw one, my dad swears he may have seen one too...it was foggy though and it was way out in a field.... no wolves though, though theres always the skeptics or whatever who say there might be some, i guess you never know, the game commission said there were no coyotes before now we have tons of em... but i usual carry a .22 buffalo hunetr revovler.....plus my beagle can usual get a scent or see whatever is lurking int he dark....like a few weeks ago i was laying in a logging road, my dog was sitting up and started growling and i sit up quick and a young black bear is 30 yards away from me..... :)

A/ho young warrior, before you know it the wilds will be more like a home to you than anything society can offer... that is good medicine, soaking up the night time and all it has to offer... Hawk
Badbill:
I was just like you at your age. When I was a few years younger, i was afraid to go into the woods after it got dark. I swore right then that when I went into the woods I would be the thing to be afraid of. Now at 44 I'm more at home in the forest than Iam in town. If I ever had an accident out there and died, that would be ok by me.
Hillbilly:
It's good for you. When I was your age, I was out running around in the mountains most nights by myself (except for my coonhounds). I was lucky enough to grow up in an area where there was nothing but mountains and woods for miles around. My cousin and I would spend a good portion of the summer out camping for days on end, and were out hunting and running traplines in the winter. Like Badbill said, I feel a lot more at home in the woods than I do in town.
Minuteman:
I don't wanna be a jerk but you caved man. :'( I ain't gonna blow sunshine at you and say you're doin fine. If your dad told you to come out if it rained thats good, ya did the right thing. But you haven't proven anything to anyone especially not yourself.
Now I ain't trying to get into a shoutin match with you just trying to keep you motivated towards your original goal in your other post.
Walkin to the house in the rain and dark is one thing walking away from the house in the rain and dark is something else.
How did you start your fire?
