Outdoor Life

and I bet the hind foot looks different (much longer)

Oh man! this guy - I think he is spending way too much time alone. He told me the creature scares the two mountain lions that live on the roof. he can hear them shiver. this is a rammed earth house. (there are not 2 mountain lions on anybody's roof) it also has been herding and chasing and killing our calves. (there are no missing calves, no holes in the fence where it chases them through every evening, and no carcasses anywhere)

tonight it took 6 calves up a fenceline as usual, but this time I was up on the highway with binoculars and could see the whole area. nothing. I did find about 10 head calmly grazing in a corner about a 1/2 mile from where he was imagining this (though right near where he said the creature had gathered the 6 calves to herd up to the hill where it runs them through the fence). they were not agitated or behaving in any way out of the ordinary.

he has also seen a (or maybe 2) jaguars. (we are talking within 1/4 mile of I-10, there are no jaguars within 20 miles of here)
