Re: Introduction Of Your Local Wild Life!
I'm from Iowa, so we have pretty much the same things as you guys....but don't forget:
Quail Pheasants Ducks Wild Turkeys Geese Beavers Chipmunks Groundhogs Frogs/Toads (many types...especially frogs) Salamanders Turtles (box, sand, painted, and a few others) Coyotes We also have quite a few people in our area that raise sheep. We always raised domesticated rabbits too (along with chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and guineas). |

Re: Introduction Of Your Local Wild Life!
LOL Greg, you cheater! You just copied the previous lists for most of that! :ha:
Yeah, we actually had a mountain lion (prefer to not use the term 'couger' as it has much more comical uses as a slang term LMFAO :ha: ) in my area of Iowa. It actually shredded the bark on a tree in my Grandma's yard from about 7 feet up to the ground. Needless to say, it was a bit intimidating to go over there...especially alone or at night! Quote:

Re: Introduction Of Your Local Wild Life!
To all the posters who have cougar..... we have'm too. Yup not kidding! I have pictures of tracks from about 9 years ago that clearly show that they're different from dog( you can tell by the pad behind the toe prints) a call to fish and game at the time proved they weren't interested. There's been quite a few sightings the past few years... google NJ cougar or mountain lion to see some. The " official" position of our politicaly run wildlife agency is that they're not here but.....management plans cost money.

Since Iowa doesn't have any laws protecting the mountain lion and with land owner permission the hunter was free to shoot the lion that was relaxing on a tree branch. The hunter is now going to have the cat stuffed and placed in his basement so he can display his trophy lion.
