I won't withhold any information,  or exaggerate my skillset.

Me either.   If I feel a certain way I should be free to express it....and I do.

So why do you have a problem with me ?

Right now I'm busy checking my trail cameras out in the back of the house.  Some people on the Nextdoor app are certain they have seen a cougar down the street chasing deer.  I gotta get that on camera!!!!  But unfortunately I don't trust soccer mom's.  Seedy bunch of women!

I’ve seen a bunch of West County Cougars, they are really looking better than they used to. Always look at the hands...they can’t Botox them.

That's because you're getting older. 

You think this place is tough, don't joke around with people on the Nextdoor App, they'll complain and get you kicked off.

Oh man, there's some solid entertainment on Nextdoor. I haven't seen a cougar claim yet, but apparently my neighborhood is swarming with kitten-and-puppy-eating bobcats and foxes. And people don't know how to drive in the roundabouts.

I have foxes and bobcats on game cameras.  But I only live a mile or so from the Missouri River so it's not unusual.  Cougars though!!  I gotta see this.

We have at least 4 (probably more like 6-10) wild hogs in the woodlot behind our place.  They've been there for at least a full year and we hear them and even smell them occasionally but rarely does anyone see them.   It's amazing how well they can keep themselves hidden in such a small area.  The neighborhood hounds have gotten them cornered twice since Summer and there's no mistaking what's going on when that happens.   So far no casualties.  I saw a group of 4 nearly a year ago but haven't laid eyes on them since.

I've got a lot of undeveloped land to my north and it's only about 1-1/4 miles north to the Kansas River. No cougars, but somebody hit one on the highway up by the airport a few years ago. 

I see coyotes from the highway every now and then, and somebody just posted a game cam of one to my north at the edge of the developed area.

Foxes are in the area too. They used to live, or at least hide, in the storm sewer just down the street. Opened my front door to let my dogs out one morning and their were two foxes in the little fenced in courtyard we have. Scared the crap outta me at first. Dogs blew out the door and one fox went one way and the other went the other way. Got the dogs back in the house but I stayed out to see what they did. They didn't like being separated because one of them came right back into my yard while I was still standing there yipping and trying to find the other. It was surprisingly brave and fairly close to me. Had one in the back yard one time and he walked up to the 4-foot fence, stopped and jumped it without touching it. Cool little animals. Coulda used a couple this summer when the rabbits were decimating my garden!

I work with a bunch of scientist types.  They are smarter than the rest of us.  If you don't believe it just ask one of them.

But they have sensitive feelers and are prone to emotional outbursts when others don't agree with their learned conclusions.

No you don't.

I think there are  scientists working towards a goal, in which case it is probably near impossible to be unbiased.

And then there are scientists working towards trying to find the truth, and those guys probably have a constant fight on their hands....to the point that they just throw their hands in the air and give up.  And who can blame them?
