timid woodland friends including having to take the 21 shot Rabies series long, long ago...
Been there too - Semple Method 14 shot anti-rabies, three inch needle in the abdomen, 10% mortality from the series, 50% mortality if needed a second time.

Fortunately, new serums have been developed.

Never found out if I was a carrier or not. :cool:

I got 2 a day for 7 days and one a day for another 7 days. The stuff was as thick as cold honey.

I was sick for 6 months from that.
A fox bit me in the knee while I was saving Boy Scouts (according to the newspaper:lol:)

Air Force flew the serum in from somewhere.

One per day for 14 days - needle about the size of wooden pencil lead - burned like hell.

Mom bribed me with a new bike after the doctor had to pull me out from under his huge sofa on the second day. Was good deal.

Of course there are cougars in our area. They tend to move when their habitat gets scarce from new construction. They're even getting closer to urban areas... http://www.urbancougar.com/
HAHAHa! You got me on that one Mike! :lol:
Craig, you're getting old, my Friend. That took you 40 minutes to figure out... Heheheh. :cool:

Here's a question no one has asked: Why the HELL would I want to keep my STREET smarts in the forest? :uhoh:

Depends on your definition of "Street Smarts".:D

It is always better to enter a game field over-gunned than under-gunned.

What I'm saying is that street-smarts are for more urban areas.
You need a modified skill set for the woods.
I know AbNo..I was making fun of the writer.

Abno, you'll have to forgive Peter. He hides his impish grin behind a brush pile. :)

Although it is a very refined brush pile. :D
