pics or it didn't happen C'mon Rick , where is your camera setup dude ? All of the evidence does point to the aforementioned manbearpig with the jackalope running a close second, senility is hot on both their tails

I would expect a man of your talents would have setup a perfect camera situation by now and be posing on the front cover of every newspaper in the world with....something hairy or hairless and large , or at least a footnote in a medical magazine about old age and living in remote areas

Do you have access to a thermal imager by chance? If so combine it with a camera, forget to fully split the wood and have the camera trap set. it should work.

Maybe your wife hired an ex-navy seal grounds keeper and forgot to tell you....

Also, it sounds like its half man, half bear, half pig.

I vote for your alter ego having fully evolved and escaped your brain pan to exist on his own. better play nice!!!!

It sounds like a neighbor prank (even if the nearest neighbors are far away, never underestimate kids' ability to dream up something to do when they're bored).

As for spooking dogs, there are ways to do that that 10 secs on Google will find you. Again, supporting the bored neighbors theory.

Regardless, from the activities you've mentioned, and in this last part I'm dead serious: I'll tell you its time to invest in a couple more good stout dogs. I'd go for 4 more to have an even half-dozen. They never sleep together: some in the house and some out.

Anything messing around on your property is cause to ramp up security no matter what.

Good luck

Are you too far south for it to be a Canadian?

Do you think this will do?





It couldn't be a Canadian, we've cooked bacon with the window open and it didn't come to breakfast.

Seriously though, if that thing comes around tonight I'm going to try to get close enough to identify it.

Cheers!

Rick...

Come on you are pulling our leg,lol. looks like a friend in a suit,lol.

He doesn't realize it, but he caught himself running out to the outhouse. Still no indoor plumbing where he lives.

and lots!!!


I am afraid Wireman is right Rick.Solving this problem requires firepower, the more the better.I suggest big guns with a high rate of fire, chaingun ala Arnie/Predator style.It's the only way you can be sure.




Save the fur (if there is any left) and make a nice pillow case
