Coffee anyone ?

[Baymule]

We got rain! A good thunderstorm, just didn’t last long. No power. Soon it will be dark. In Lindale, I could walk to the cabinet that held the Tac-lights in the dark, and turn them on. In Groveton, I have no freaking idea what box they are in. No idea when lights will come back. Recording at Electric Co-op says they are aware that power is out. Getting a little stuffy in here. At least the rain shower cooled it down to 80F.

Power is back on. Been sitting on back patio. That old room addition is gone and as of today, there is a tin roof over the patio, it will be a great place for a BBQ. For somebody, not me!

Coffees is ready. @Mini Horses that is a gorgeous buck! I love color when it’s wrapped around a hunk of conformation like that! Lead trained tame? That’s even better!

So true! Cougars are in NE Texas.

Cougars are also in SE Texas. Personally saw one quite a few years ago. Not a fleeting glance either. It was crossing the road slowly after dark. I stopped - it stopped and we had a stare down for several minutes. I had a witness too, lol. That one is probably dead from old age, but others have seen the descendants along a bayou in the area.

I've also lost goats (pre LGD's) to a cat of some kind. Goat kid vanished out of the pasture. He was too big to go through the fence so something took him out over the fence. Later, had a doe killed less than 50 yards from the back door. "Something" came over the stock panel fence. This fence was taller than just stock panels - had 2 x 6's top and bottom. She was killed and eviscerated next to the fence. This may have been a bobcat because my guess is that a cougar would have been able to take her over the fence. Very clean kill too - unlike what I've seen from coyotes.

Big cats exist!
