In my college years I had a 200 mile trip I'd make back home a few times a year. Most of the driving was late at night down a old 2 lane highway with little traffic. Usually drove with my low beams. If I went 10+ minutes without seeing another car I'd flip on my high beams. One night I randomly flipped on my highs and I immediately saw a buck standing in the middle of my lane. I didn't see him at all before I switched to high beams. I slammed on my brakes, stopping with about 5 feet to spare. If I hadn't turned on my high beams at just that moment I'm sure I would have either plowed into him and/or crashed into the ditch going about 60 mph.

I know how you feel after my run in with rabbits while cutting my lawn. I took out a whole family and still feel bad.No, Im not taking pics. I am seriously nauseous about this, and I dont want to go under the hood to clean it either.
With age Ive become sensitive to this stuff, and basically stopped hunting because of it too. I love animals.

Ok. So I drove to the local farms to see if anyone would be outside working, but I think the -25 kept them inside for the most part. So I pulled over beside one of their "portable homes" and knocked on the door. A man answered it and I asked if I could talk to them about some side work.
Invited me in and asked if I wanted a drink (Mexicans are seriously friendly), and I declined and I asked if anyone wanted to make $50 doing a quick cleanup for me.
Someone shouted, "If it's a body I want $100" and they all started laughing...
"It is a body" I said... "Of an animal"...
A few guys agreed to come with me, but when the one smallish gentleman asked, the other guys allowed him to go. No idea why.
Anyways, he hops in and I gave him the $50 up front, so he knew I wasnt gonna screw him. took him to my place, about 5km away. we talked, and he introduces himself as Icazbalseta (or something) but told me to call him Icaz. So I did.
I explained what happened and he laughed. "No problem for me" he said.. He was pretty shy but very friendly. I asked how life was, how he was dealing with the cold etc. He hated the cold, but loved Canada, loved the $, and wanted to move his family here... but with the amount he makes here, he gets to live like a king back home... here, he wouldnt be close to that, so he said he'd likely keep doing the 6mos here, 6mos there deal.
I told him I wont stick around for the cleaning.. didnt wanna see it. He just laughed and took care of it.. removed the mangled carcass and told me at -25 he wasnt gonna be hosing down the blood under the hood, which made obvious sense... he also told me it WAS a cat. ####.
I invited him in for a warm drink, so we shared a couple glasses of Crown Royal Reserve. Warms ya up real nice, and I rolled a joint and he took a few hits. Said he didnt love the weed in Canada as it's too potent (Jamaican farm hands here HATE canadian weed, claiming it makes them ######ed). we talked a bit, mostly him telling me stories. Genuine guy.
We got back in my car and I asked if he needed to go anywhere (in the middle of nowhere they only can ride their bikes, or they get a weekly trip via chartered bus to the grocery store) and he told me not to worry, but I insisted.
Took him to the drugstore for some chap stick, cough medicine and some gum. I took care of the bill, even tho he really didnt want me to.
Took him back and he thanked me profusely for the $50. I thanks him doubly for the cleanup. He then invited me for dinner this week, said they have a big "potluck" type deal on the weekend... I'll agreed on the spot when he told me theyd have mole negro on the menu.
Worked out great today, aside from killing someones pet.. That really killed my buzz

Can we get a title change please???
Something like, "I killed a wild cat, was too much of a ##### to clean it myself so I paid some local mexican to do it, smoked weed with him, bought him gifts and am now going to join him and his people for real mexican food"
Or
"I killed a cat" works too..

So how long until the missing cat thread arrives?

The guy that ran over a family of rabbits with his lawnmower still takes the cake when it comes to accidental animal deaths. I need to find that thread.

Sucks that it was a cat. I love animals too, but raccoons? #### those guys. Those guys can all die in a fire. They wear masks for a reason, you know. They're evil.

Shortly after I moved into this neighborhood I started riding my bike in the evenings to get some exercise. I had to stop riding on Monday and Wednesday nights because trash days are Tuesday/Thursday and the raccoons come out in force to root though people's cans. They are utterly fearless. Several times one would get in front of me and I had to move out of its way. Screw that. I just know they're biding their time, waiting for me to get a little too close before they attack.

back in November I was on my way to my deer hunting spot when a doe ran out in front of my truck. I saw her coming so I slowed way down. Unfortunately the Prius coming the other way didn't see her and plowed right into it. The deer tried jumping the hood and smashed the windshield. She hit the ground, barrel rolled twice, and hopped right back up. She U turned and ran back across in front of me back into the woods. I drove up to the Prius to see if they were OK and the look ofVrana said:
on their face was priceless. Crazy scene.

Ugh I fricken hate raccoons. I headed out early for a deer hunt after lunch and took a quick nap. I woke up and see this raccoon walking directly below my treestand. I forget what noise I made but the thing turned right around, backed itself up in a bush and was growling/snarling like a cougar or some big cat. I froze and he eventually turned and walked away. I swore the thing was coming up the tree after me to eat my liver.

If the mexican dude kept the cat you may want to pass on the mole negro.

If the thing was even owned by someone, they killed it by letting it out in -25 weather. A cat is basically a glorified hamster anyway. Just get another one and it won't behave any different.Soulfly3 said:

it was on par with American $ not 3 months back or so...
now its down... 91c on the dollar or so.
Anyways... I was gonna low ball on 20$, but I felt ####ty for doing that, as I explained earlier... 50$ was a fair deal for that disaster, and the fact he was gonna be on the ground on -25 weather

Did you throw the cat remains in your FILs lawn?

If it's a cat I'd feel a little bad, but would quickly shrug it off. It's a cat after all... Raccoon? Hell, I'll aim for those nasty bastards. Had a family living in our attic one year of this house we were renting. Quickly went from "Aw.. How cute" to "Get these ####### raccoons out the damn attic!!!"
Hate those bastards.
