Critters on the course you ran into...

I saw a dude riding a bike, with a goat/ram on a leash at Veteran's park. It was the definition of awkward.

Found a dead cat :/. Eyes are gone, looks like it had been there for a little while
 
The most wild things i've seen at my local course are the Garter snakes during mating season, they're everywhere, you can't throw a shot without running into a few of them. I've also seen what I believed to be a spider dart from a drain pipe into some tall grass, it was black and about the size of my entire hand, it was so fast I couldnt tell exactly what it was.

I really enjoy seeing Alligators, from a distance. If you are ever in Charleston, take the ferry over to Bull Island and go to alligator alley. There are probably a couple of hundred in there and it is pretty intimidating. Alligators lay eggs this time of year in SC. That is one of the reasons I do not play West Ashley right now. There is one part of the course where I have seen gator slides in a transistion from 14 basket to 15 teepad and mounds where eggs may have been laid in the past.

Wish I had pictures...

Playing the 303 Ams, 2nd day at CHU in the middle of downtown Denver there was a big coyote running around the course. It was really scared with all the people around.

A couple days later, probably 75 miles south (at my local course) I saw another coyote, but it was sneaky and dissapeared real quick. Other than those, all I really see around here are snakes.

Bush turkey in Australia...shortly after we spotted a wedge tail eagle circling, but he left before I could snap a photo...rare to see at the best of times.
 
No pics...yet...but the rattlesnakes are starting to pop up in San Antonio. Already heard of two reports and saw one pic of a good sized one. :\ Hopefully, I won't be picking one up this year like last year. Picked up my Pure at the basket and this little dood was coiled up underneath. I should have been bitten several times, but wasn't thankfully. He just sat there. Never ever knew a rattler to be so calm after being picked up. Most likely won't happen again, either. Stretched out, he is about 15-16" long. Just a youngin, but still dangerous enough.

Edit...I should have said I picked him up along with my Pure....that would be more accurate.

Buddy and I were out practicing the other day and saw a group of 3 hawks across the field. My buddy started trying to mimic them and they came to check us out immediately. Having 3 hawks circling you while you drive off of a huge hill seems like good mojo to me!
 
Bald Eagle at Pinto Lake. (http://pintolakediscgolf.com). We didn't know what it was when we saw it, but it was a lot bigger than the redtail hawks we normally see, and not a Vulture. A smaller bird was dive bombing it. Then their was an article in the paper about them that weekend. BTW: The Bald Eagles didn't move in until the course was cleaned up for the 2011 Worlds.

I see a Bobcat once in a while at Delaveaga . Also saw a Great Horned Owl there once around twilight.
 
I was playing hole 5 at my local course and threw my approach into the woods, and on the quest to look for it I saw two baby skunks and a mama skunk, then i noticed my disc 5 ft away from them. Mama skunk didn't look very happy to see me either, but maybe that part was just in my head. Needless to say I cheated and I picked up my disc and ran out of there.
