We don't any more. I don't know if it's changing times or perhaps my Letter to the Editor stating the whole world is NOT their oyster.

A good friend found your blog for me while finding me answers to help with my allergies. Needless to say, I am thanking God for you and the wisdom you have of someone who has "gone before" me on this road. I have felt so alone and powerless...and then I am reminded that God is with me in the journey! Thanks for giving us a sense of hope! And best wishes to keep the prowlers away!

Scared the heck out of us both times, and instead of being smart like you, we went out to find out what was going on. If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to call the cops. Assuming these two were just poaching is foolish, they could be up to even more devious things. The morning we woke up to the police in the yard, was a few hours after I noticed a strange car parked in front of our across street neighbors, I didn't call the police and he snuck around our property and broke into a woman's house 1/2 mile away or so. Which is why I hope you at least file a report on this. Hope the rest of your day was uneventful.

We live in a rural area too and I have the fear of something like that happening around here. Its so darn dark at night you can't see your hand in front of your face. I agree... I would let the game warden know what's going on in your area. Take care, Debbie The nerve of some people.

We lost a calf because someone thought it was a deer. BTW that was great presence of mind to call your dog. I agree with the first commenter, keep a close eye on your animals.

You were clever to start calling your "dog" -- that delivered the message without you having to confront someone who already knew they were committing a crime. I'm not sure what I would have done in the same situation. And to answer your question, my morning started when I got up, took a shower, and had breakfast and a cup of coffee. Nothing quite so exciting as yours! That must have been very scary.

I hope that scares them off for good - and they pass the word around about your big ferocious dog :) Scary!

Seriously, you should check around to make sure the spotlight hunters haven't left a salt lick as bait somewhere on your property. And notify a warden just so they have it on record. They won't be able to do a thing, but if you have any other "visitors" the warden service might just take this seriously. This is a dangerous time for people who live in rural areas and for farmers, also with cows and horses to protect. Take care Shirley. Lots of people out of work looking for free food on the hoof.
