OMGosh!!! SNAKES BY THE DOZENS. Well, maybe not THAT many, but there were more than two! They were coming out of a hole in a yard here in Eureka. I almost had to change my pants. I tried to hit them with my coil and those darn things would attack it. I ran to the truck as fast as I could. Never again will I enter that yard!
You be careful out there with the coyotes. They can be nasty and you say there's been rumor of a cougar. WOW! I think I would rather have that than those NASTY snakes.

In 10 years of detecting I have only seen one snake. My biggest fear is running into a skunk. Peacocks aren't too fierce,but those darn things are so noisy and LOUD. I haven't had too many wild animal encounters, but I do remember hunting a favorite wooded area in Kewanee and I was set on trying out a certain small part of it. So I headed straight for this small section, carrying my detector, not swinging it. Through the trees, then into a clearing, back into trees, and so on. Anyway as I cut across this one clearing, I heard a sound from the nearby trees, that sounded like the growl a big dog would make, if he had a t-bone and another dog got too close to him. I never saw what if was, but I held my digger firmly grasped, in case I needed it quickly.

About the only animals I've encountered while MD'ing are squirrels, the occasional friendly dog, and humans (some friendly, some not so friendly), but boy could I tell some stories about animal encounters while I've been in the timber.

A pit bull and a prostitute(both in the woods) but the 2nd isn't an "animal".

Was this in Peoria? If so, I think I know where.
