Ya don't have to live in Saskatchewan.....

Big muddy it would no different than 100 degrees at 10:00 and humitity so high a fish could almost swim threw the air. Bein on a hot horse and when u get a little shade, the skeeters and yeller flyes tote u off. Or crossin a slough or a canal and haven a 12 ft gater gittin after a cowdog. And u tryin to get to the dog, beatin the gator off with a whip handle. Or gettin caught in a thunder storm and lightin strikin so close the hair sticks up on your arm. And as far as yankees, if they invaded your peace of paridise you'd feal about like we do. and if southern folks invaded your state, I garantee that they would not be a bunch of biggity, bitchin snobs.

Well, your half right BMR!!!! With the cold some of ya'll describe I'd probably try to whine but I'm afraid the whine would freeze up in my chest! I had one of my northern buddies come and visit with me and she was looking forward to our warm climate. It wasn't long before she started complaining about the heat. It's all about acclimation - takes a while I guess.

Alligators, cowhunter? That would make things a bit testy! We do have the moccasins though.
 
Your right big muddy. We'd also be wonderin why people talked so funny and were hard to understand. and how they aint had sence enough to stay inside when it was cold. I've had 2 close calls with gaters workin cattle. One when I was 16 and the other when I was 25. Both times over a dog and big gators. I have seen a 8 footer catch a cow but she kicked him off. We killed one 3 years ago, right after I found I had cancer, that was 13 1/2 foot. A rich buddy had him mounted whole. On a truck scale, he weighted 800 lbs.

You bring one of them big gators up here in early August Cowhunter. (It would be about as warm as it gets here.) I'd like to see a scrap between a grizzly and a gator. :D
 
On land, I don't think the gator would stand a chance. In the water. He might. It would sure be some good watchin. We got them black bears in fla. There's only a few around here but west of here, there thick. Now there small, a big one maybe 350 or 400. But to see what they can tear up showes how strong they are. We have hunted them with dogs and one slap and a dog is threw. I caint amagine how bad a grizzly would be. Are they bad on cows?
 
You could go back and check the archives for most of the bear stories. Between 2003 and 2007 there was a population explosion of grizzlies in this area. We lost 93 cattle to bear in those years, neighbors also lost cattle. There is no season in this immediate area so bears were not being taken out. The local Game Warden knew everyone was having problems and basically turned a blind eye until they were thinned down a bunch. The last two years we lost five head to wolves that were confirmed kills.

I have had two altercations with bear that were too close for comfort, coming in on the run and getting within 15 - 20 yards before they were stopped.
If they leave me alone I do the same for them. A big boar that is not a cow killer is a good friend to have as he will keep all other bears out of his territory. I believe that eventually all bears will become killers.
