Not that rare I shouldn't think, they're legal to hunt and trap. That's the only one I've seen in the wild. We live in town, not a whole lot of wildlife larger than a squirrel or occasional groundhog in our yard. -Curt On Thursday, March 10, 2022, 12:14:44 PM EST, Andrew Strasfogel via Merce

Yes, "bark" may not be the correct description. Probably more like "growling". On 10/03/2022 11:05 AM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes wrote: I thought those dogs didn’t have a bark --FT Sent from iFōn On Mar 10, 2022, at 12:03 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote: On 10/03/2022 9:13 AM

Nahh. It’s AZ. Constitutional carry state. I’m not worried about someone breaking into my house, as out there they’ll expect to be met with an unpleasant welcome, so to speak. If I laid in a bunch of new hardware, maybe, but I’m not planning on it. -D > On Mar 10, 2022, at 11:58 AM, Randy Benn

I saw a wildcat (probably a bobcat) of some kind a couple years ago while walking the dog. We had come to a Y in the trail, the dog went to the right and the cat stepped out into the trail on the left. I stopped and tried to quietly call to the dog who turned to look at me with a derpy "What?"

Cool! Make sure you are adequately defensed when you go out. Those things are faster than you. I had a black panther walk across the back yard about 12yr ago. Killed a big deer in the woods about 150ft from the house, ate half of it then got the rest the next night. Haven’t seen it since thou
