This sounds pretty darn close. They have regional call differences and each cat is different in the vocal range. I have one up at the preserve that I hear during the post sunset during the spring time. Seen tracks the other day up on a firewood sale as big as large saucer. There has been a population increase the last 4 years in Oregon. We have people in the summer cabins say they see the cats around the cabins more then years ago. We saw one three weeks ago behind the local dump dragging a full grown cow elk off to be eaten.

1, 3, 4, and 5 are not important to this discussion. #2 is what my mom sounded like when she found the frog in the sink. :biggrinbounce2:

My black lab faithfully carried the frog in, and dropped it into the sink. Best we could figure.

My brother and I were outside in the barn cleaning up tools, etc. and my dad was out in the garden, my mom was cleaning up a mess made on the porch by the dog knocking over a flower plant. Dog bring frog in house and place in sink. Mom walk in to wash hands in kitchen sink... screams. Us manly men rush in to see what the #### was going on. Laugh asses off at mom because she screamed at a dead frog. Mom get mad at us. We take dead frog out. Dog standing there wagging her tail, panting with the famous 'laughing lab' look. We continue to laugh. lol.

It aint the four leg predators I worry about it is the two legged kind. Had a person last year on the one timber preserve I manage try to run me over when I was clearing road, the guy got jail time for it. The mountain cat sounds like a woman being killed in some lame arse horror movie. We had a mountain cat kill a deer in the yard next to my cabin on the ranch last winter, scary part was how close it was to three different houses . Kinda eery when your fast a sleep and you hear strange noises out side your window.

Here we go again.

There we all are rambling along when all of a sudden we now have HBRN the " Manager " ! How someone with so many roles to fill can manage to lurk about on a web site is beyond me, wait a min I just remembered I have entered the "Alice in wonderland " life of HBRN....pure fantasy !!

Everyone knows about him but him! We all figured out he was full of #### a while ago. He still believes his own BS.

So wait, you're a Reverend and you're getting your swerve on at 10:45 AM

You just can't help it can you HBRN???

On a much different subject, one we fade in and out of. I've got a fairly large white oak (36" - 40") to take down. If it goes one way it will crash over a bank and land in the road. If it goes another it will damage a little dogwood that the owner wants to keep. Yet another way and it will mash an ornamental garden. So it has a very narrow landing zone. Would this be the correct time to use the world famous slopping back cut??? :msp_biggrin:

Just sayin.

You can only use the Infamous Slopping Back Cut if you film the entire process and then vigorously defend your choice of technique. You also have to insult and disagree with anyone who doesn't like what you've done. You're also required to use a saw that runs poorly and a very very dull chain.

No butt crack pictures, though. We do have our limits.


Or...you can post pictures of the white oak, get seventy three conflicting opinions on how you should drop it, and then go ahead with what your gut and experience level tell you. Me, I'd pick dropping it in the road.

 

[lfnh]

That there is a specialty backcut. Too many regional differences, to be exact.

...and probably ran off screaming. These threads in the F and L section are a lot like logger's conversations around the lunch log or in the tavern or the saw shop. They meander. That's good. Learn to deal with it. Relax. Enjoy.
