It was being chased by what looked like a fox. I have learned to observe before rushing in to things now :tup:

According to scientific surveys, Racoons, Opposums and Bats don't have a higher rate of rabies than any other animal--it's just that there are so many more of them! I would be careful to come in contact with any animal, especially if it is acting strangely!

Post by: 7t9cobra on February 07, 2013, 03:32:27 PM: That's good to know. I had one run towards me and got within 10 feet then turn away. It didn't slow down or even look at me. It was strange. We were in the bottom of a draw in the timber line looking for a spot to put up a stand. It happened quick enough I didn't have time to draw my rifle up.

I've had animals do that to me, too. Turned out I was too near where their young were hidden. They show no fear when they think their kiddies are in danger!
