Tons of big cat pictures in NC, but the state says they don’t exist. The fake red wolfs they have released in NC have been a huge cluster. Never trust the government

🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're ridiculous. I'd suggest going and meeting a few state employees. All they want is their check every other week and their retirement once they're done. They're union backed so whenever they are told to do something that isnt on their job description like drive across state lines to secretly get a non-native species they're gonna file a grievance.
I think the only paranoid one is you bud. Now if you said they have their buddies business do work for them and also get their required amount of quotes from their competitors themselves so they're sure to get the bid, then ya you're right and this has been proven.
I heard the ODNR knows where big foot lives. They find wounded bucks before the hunters do and bring them to him for food.

I heard that too about the Bigfoot thing. Scary stuff.

And you must be one of those state employees where it takes 3 people to hold up a shovel.. I’m just stating what I no so believe what you want but all I’m saying is there are a lot of things that happen in secret that only a few people know..

I’m one of the people on the hate ODNR train most of the time. I would be more inclined to think average people had something to do with the coydog/coy wolf deal. People thinking it’s cool to have a damn wolf as a pet and it getting away.
To add to this. My buddy had a "dog" that was like 87% wolf and the rest Siberian Husky or some percentage like that. Smartest fucking thing ever. When he wasn't home, he had a fortress of a kennel and somehow some way that thing escaped constantly. He lived out in the country too. Cost him a fortune evertime the dog warsen got him. That thing could have easily bred a coyote. That thing used to get loose and he'd come home from work and he would be out there with a half eaten deer carcass. Im convinced he took it from coyotes

:ROFLMAO:

Same guy that was critical of you for wanting to stay warm as if it was cheating or something! I'd say one too many layers...
I wasn't gonna call him out in a thread where i was asking for advice but the idea of sweatpants last weekend with the wind in a treestand is borderline ridiculous and dangerous considering they are generally cotton.

Yes I am a state employee so I'm well aware of how the state operates or rather doesnt operate. Well if you "no" so much let's see the proof. Or you could start by at least stating what their reasoning was behind it? Did they just get bored not fielding calls one wednesday and decided you know what. Let's go catch us a cougar and release it! Except billy got confused and went out west instead of to the bar.

There was a picture from salt fork years ago with a cougar on it. There was also a write up years ago about one spotted dragging a deer up a tree. Officer showed up said there was blood everywhere and looked to be going up tree.

During that time I saw tracks in the snow that made my dogs feet look small.
There was also a write up a game warden who said he saw on in Jefferson county.

I’ve never saw one physically, so I’m not going to confirm or deny.

I would say there’s a strong possibility of one passing through but doubt it stays just like a bear.

I would also say sometimes people get drunk,or all smoked out and sees shit. 😂

Disclaimer I do not believe in Bigfoot.

I also believe wearing sweat pants in a stand is totally acceptable. Now if your a man and your wearing lipstick that’s another story. Carry on fuggers!🤘🇺🇸

Easy on the name calling. This is much more fun without everyone calling you a fucking retard and running you off.

Where does it say in there that ODNR brought in and released animals? It doesnt anywhere. Also dont recall anyone saying there are not timber rattlers in ohio. I believe were all waiting for your proof that ODNR has imported mountain lions into the state of Ohio and released them.
