Haha...hope you're healing up! Crazy story! Too bad your little helper wasn't there to get after that coon for you! Already EXPANDING huh? Atta boy!
Eight shots total. Four in & around the bite. One in the arm. Two, on each hip/butt. And one in the arm. Then a tetanus shot in the other. Three more rabies shots over the next two weeks. Not fun!
Wanted to take her with me but was afraid she would chase and corner a bear. See black bears all the time, usually heading away from us which is good! Nothing scares ya like a bear dropping down a tree in a hurry, breaking branches left & right so its can run away, all happening in an instant about fifty feet from you. She has aready had her rabies shots though!

Hi Jay
Nice shots of those 2 brook trout. They're natives up here so we see them a lot. Browns don't have the red fins with black and white lines on the leading edges. Good thing you got the rabies shots after getting bit by that Raccoon... That must have woken you up in a hurry! A word in your ear... if you ever go float-tube fishing in a Beaver pond and they slap the water next to you with their tails it's time to get out of the water. People try to argue every year and get bitten. Have you seen how long and sharp a Beaver's teeth are?
Awesome looking garden too! Cheers!
Thanks Rick! I didn't even notice they were brooks. Those are the two biggest brooks i have ever caught. Usually don't see them more than five or six inches up there. Usually if I see spots it's a brown trout.
I have walked up on a few beavers up there, but never had a run in. Definitely am not going to mess with one of them!

Wow crazy coons!
I had to chase one out of my bow stand years ago, shot a beater arrow with a blunt at it, plus stuck two others from that stand. Wife was getting dog food, we keep it in a galvanized garbage can. One of us had left the lid off, coon was in it and came flying out, scratched the wife as it was trying to get out of there.
Glad to see you got your planting done!
Thank you Scott. Glad I got to it.
I have the shoot and kill mentality now when it comes to raccoons. I know that one was just protecting some young, but damn!

Dont even get me started about raccoons. They help dig up my yard every year because of those nasty japanese beetles that invaded.
Is that a scorpion in the picture? You could do a side-by-side picture with a moruga scorpion and call it "good scorpion/bad scorpion"
Nice to see you expanding! It is an addictive hobby.
Yes Stefan, a little brown scorpion. Was only about 1.25" long (+3cm ?). Would love to do a side by side. Im only going to eat one of them though.
Had to expand. Ran out of room in no time and I have the space. Didn't claim this area last year, as the garden was as big as the fence i bought. I just threw some chicken wire around the extension. I still need to mulch everything & get the raised beds cleaned out for the other veggies. Rained off & on all day, so didn't happen today. But the rabie shots would have slowed me down too. Soon i hope!
