On both sides of the family, when everyone sits down at holidays, conversation among the menfolk invariably turns to our struggles against nature and wild animals - somebody deer hunting, calves potentially being preyed upon by coyotes, foxes bothering pets in town, not as many pheasants around as their used to be, and of course the fact that Ks Dept of Wildlife and Parks is concealing the truth about vast mountain lion populations existing in KS so that the public doesn’t panic. Would post in the holiday tradition thread but we have the exact same discussion on both sides of the family year after year and I assume it is pretty common.
