[BFix] Re: OT- Wildlife removal/Identification

Oh, I forgot to mention this one.........Oh

When Donald and I first moved here in 94', one Sunday night when we were 
watching the Drag Races on TV, I had opened the front door to let in some 
cool, 
fresh mountain air. And sure enough, there was a Giant Cow in my front yard! 
Donald thought I was crazy until he took a look for himself. 

Long story short, I closed the door and called the Sheriff's Dept. and they 
said they would send somebody out. That Animal Control only comes to our area 
on Thursday's . Well.....they NEVER did. The next day, a woman and her 
husband 
who live a few miles up the road, came to my door looking for their Cow. It 
had escaped, it must have known what was in store for it!! The Sheriff's 
Dept. 
had told them that I was the only caller to report this.....Like I was going 
to 
trap it and keep it in my garage or something...trap it and keep it in my ga
found their Cow a few miles away like 3 days later.

This is why I never bother to call the Sheriff's Dept. or Animal Control when 
I have a wild animal come to visit me.

I would call Clermont County Animal Control. Then try to be there and watch 
what just incase this happens again. Also, ask your Dad to PLEASE stay away 
from them until the situation is handled (due to his medical condition). 
These animals are VERY protective of their Cubs.

I've had Bears, Coyotes, Foxes, Deer, Wild Everything come to visit me on 
many occasions. I just leave them alone and eventually they go home. 
Remember, I now live less than 10 miles from the Smoky Mountain National Park 
in the 
mountains (nothing like Cincy). 

LMK by PM how things go.........

HTH,
