Thanx Bo for the story-but where was that actually, if You do not mind sharing the locationQuote:
I've got a small slew created by beavers about a quarter of a mile west of where I live that kept me entertained all summer long. I'd stop by every evening on my way home to check it out. It was home to 4 different families of ducks. 2 sets of mallards, one with a broud of 11, the other with a broud of 8. A small broud of blue wing teal, 4 in all and a family of woodies...
I did some nuisance trapping there for the township about ten years ago and never thought much about it since then until this year when I noticed how high the water was one evening when I decided to take a different way home. Like I said it kept me entertained all summer watching these birds mature.
One evening just before dusk I saw a bear cross the road about 125 yes in front off my parked vehicle and about 4 or 5 days later again just before dusk saw a gaggle of wild pigs scurrying across the road. There must have been 10 to 12 of them and from what I could gather they looked like they would have been all from the same litter cause all were the same size maybe 18" in height.
Both the bear and the pigs crossed virtually in the same spot about 25 yds past the stop sign...
