I have always had a great respect for wildlife, but I will never be up close and personal with any of them. I am no fool.
Even dogs cats and also fish are smart enough to know when they are on a good wicket… But they are animals. That will never change and I doubt any of us want them to.
I was chased by around 7 coyotes one night in the dark woods of east Texas. I still look back on that night and realize how lucky I was to escape. That was the last time I ventured into the woods at night with no lights, or phone.
