Wanted: log flipping/ rock rolling buddy to traverse the state of California to hunt and photograph Salamanders, perhaps help defend against large predatory animals or provide a distraction while I escape. Must run slower than me...
I'm tired of climbing down into a creek beds only to find huge cat prints in the mud or a huge feline scat and have to leave because I'm hiking alone. I'm all for mountain lions, but I'm tired of the paranoia. It's really hard to keep your focus on the ground when you have to constantly make sure you aren't being stalked by large predatory cats... this is happening to me with greater and greater frequency...
not to mention all the pot growers... Seems like if it's a place that is remote enough to have healthy ecosystems, it is also remote enough that growers think they won't be found... well I'm not even looking for you jerks and I keep finding your garbage and plumbing running through the woods all over the place. I don't even care about the pot, do whatever makes you happy or whatever... but there is no way they would believe me if I said that i wasn't after their crop and was actually looking for salamanders... (sorry about the rant...)
anybody else ever get the creeps while alone, waist deep in a bog?
any florida caudate hunters paranoid about gators?
ever search for salamanders only to find yourself staring down the business end of a shotgun?
I'd listen to those stories...
