Several years ago, Basil & I had been to Kosciusko one Sat or Sun. afternoon. On the way back home on 43 hwy. about 2 miles down, there was a bobcat going up the side of this hill. Just wish I could have got Basil to stop & watched it for a few min. On the Miss. TV news, heard where someone in South Miss. had killed a black bear. He even cut one of the claws off & talked about it. Now I think he is in deep trouble. I don't know if he kill it just because he could or in self defense. Ken, what would you have done if you had met that bear face to face? I know you would have made a path or you would have looked like Tarzan going from tree to tree.
