Raccoons partying on the patio!
Have you ever wondered what happens on your patio at night when you are all curled up in bed, was there a party going on that you weren’t invited too? Well, I haven’t thought much about it either, until I noticed a flash of something running across the patio when I turned the light on to let the cat out. What was that? I’m not sure, but I decided to find out just what happens on the patio after hours. I set up critter cam, my night motion camera and placed a small amount of cat food near. Here’s what happened!
8:38pm and first out is a possum looking for the all you can eat buffet.
9:19pm our cat drops by looking for action.
10:38pm a cat tail.
4:51am three baby raccoons partying on the patio
5:03am the bouncer drops by and asks the raccoons to leave.
5:25am and the cleaning folks come by to tidy things up.
What happens on your patio when you are a sleep?

FISH TEXTING-A story about Buttermilk and fish texting.
Here I am on a Saturday night with heavy thunderstorms passing through and trying to finish a post named: “Georgia on my mind” which would have been better named “A rainy night in Georgia” except I’m now in Tennessee.
BUZZ BUZZ
8:28 pm--I get a FISH TEXT, a picture of a fish with no text. This text is of a nice catfish. It’s from Buttermilk (Buttermilk is my fishing buddy).
I figure Buttermilk has been fishing while I was in Atlanta and he must have caught this catfish yesterday. I texted back this message at 8:30 pm:
“Nice, 3 lb Blue Cat? Where did you catch him?”
BUZZ BUZZ
8:32 pm--“Shutes branch. No light. Forgot lantern gas. It’s raining, a lot.”
Hmmm, Buttermilk is fishing at nearly 9:00 pm, on a Saturday night, in thunderstorms without lights! For most folks this would be a predicament, but not Buttermilk. I thought for a minute-- A lot of folks fish at night, a few folk’s fish in the rain, a couple of folk’s fish without lights, but I don’t know of anyone that would do all three and in heavy thunderstorms for very long. That’s Buttermilk! Now, what to text back? .....Need Gas or you are a fool, or you are a Fishing Fool, I finally decided on this message.
8:34 pm “Buttermilk, you are a true fisherman”
What’s in your woods, river, lake or bay? Get away from the big screen and get on a big stream!!!!!

They're Here! PIRANHAS!
I fish in this locate lake and this has been in the news lately.
SMYRNA, Tenn.- A local fisherman's startling catch at Percy Priest Lake has people talking and wondering how and if an exotic fish from South America could end up in Smyrna. Bill Haynes says there is no doubt what bit his bait Saturday is a Piranha; Native to Amazon, this one somehow ended up in a Tennessee lake and Haynes says it was likely at the hands of irresponsible pet owner. He's been fishing his entire life and said even this took him by surprise, "You know what you're fishing for, but that doesn't mean you know what you are going to catch," he said. Never was that more true than what he reeled in Saturday night from his boat on Percy Priest Lake.
The Piranha exotic fish is known for its sharp teeth, sensationalized in Hollywood for its killer instinct and quick bite. And seeing it next to a Tennessee catfish in the catch bin shocked many eople docked at Percy Priest. Haynes said the fish tried to snap at him Saturday night and even ate the 15 blue carp that were also caught. "If you get them stirred up, they will probably bite you back. I know he was trying last night," he said. Haynes took a closer look at the teeth on the fish, many of which were broken off but growing back in. Bill believes this fish came from the Amazon to an aquarium before finding a home in Percy Priest. "People get them in their aquariums and they get tired of them or they get too big and they don't want to kill them, so they bring them here and turn them loose, and it's against the law," he said. What puzzles Bill even more than seeing a Piranha next to a catfish, is that they both took a bite of the same local bait. "This dumb fish bit a hot dog," he said.

Now Old Man Bill's got all of Dock C talking and watching the water for what exotic pet they might catch next. "I'm not getting in that water. If you see me in it, it's because I fell in not because I jumped in!" he said. A biologist from the TWRA is coming to take a look at the fish on Monday morning and confirm what species it is. This is not the first report of a Piranha being caught in Percy Priest Lake; a similar catch was made by a woman last year. It is uncertain if they are affecting the local habitat.

Bait Kissing?
Kissing bait for good luck is something a few fishermen partake in. I put a little humor in this ritual with "fench kissing your bait." Enjoy.
I normally do a few of these cartoons every week, if you like, join my blog or add a comment.
Remember: If you're going to bait, then BAITRAGEOUS!

What happened in the ten acre woods?
Not just about bait!
It all started yesterday, Sept 15, 2012 in the ten acre woods when two bodies were discovered……….
Mr. Bunny lived in the meadow across the road from the ten acre woods. He spent most of his days with his wife and 12 children in their beautiful two hole house, only coming out in the early morning and late evening to eat. Something was different about this day and Mr. Bunny could probably sense it. While Mr. Bunny was enjoying a second helping of fresh clover, he was suddenly and brutally attacked. The evidence indicates that Mr. Bunny struggled with his attacker but was not able to free himself. He was killed on the spot and his body was dragged from the meadow, across the street, and down the ten acre drive.
Mr. Gray was very cooperative and seemed to like the attention even suggested a suspect. Mr. Gray commented that he bet it was that mean cat Spot Nose that lives outside. Police have also concluded that Mr. Gray is a full time house kiddy and had no means of leaving the house at the time of the murders.
Mr. Creamy is an indoor/outdoor cat. He is a loner and kind of crazy. Police have determined that Mr. Creamy had the means and the motive to murder the field animals. In fact, Mr. Creamy was outdoors and no one had seen Mr. Creamy during the time of the murders. Creamy is a cat of interest.

The evidence indicates that Mr. Bunny struggled with his attacker but was not able to free himself. He was killed on the spot and his body was dragged from the meadow, across the street, and down the ten acre drive.
Forensic evidence suggests that Mr. Bunny died from bite marks around the neck area. Also, the time of death cannot be certain, but rigamortis had set in and Mr. Bunny was likely killed sometimes on the evening of the 15th.
While police were canvassing the area, another body was discovered only 25ft up the drive from Mr. Bunny. This body was that of a field rat that also lived in the meadow. It appears this victim was murdered in the same fashion as Mr. Bunny however, evidence indicates Mr. Rat was killed on the morning of the 16th.
Police indicated that four known predators of interest which are being interviewed.
Mr. Storm
Mr. Stormy is a grumpy 4 year old cat. It was difficult for the police to get anything out of Stormy. After interviewing Mr. Stormy, Police have concluded that Mr. Stormy is a house cat and has never been outside. Stormy commented "I did not do it, there is no way. I’m a full time house kitty!"
Mr. Gray
Mr. Creamy
Mr. Spot Nose
NO PICTURE AVAILABLE FOR SPOT NOSE
Mr. Spot Nose is the bully of the neighborhood. He beats up every cat that’s near and has even been seen chasing wild turkeys. Police can’t even find Spot Nose to interview. Spot Nose is a cat of interest.
Police have completed a profile of the murderer that suggests the murderer is a predator, likes for his victims to be found, kills in the early morning or late evening, is a pathological murderer who preys on small helpless field animals. A policeman was quoted as saying “we have a serial killer in our neighborhood” stay in your hole. Stay Tuned for more information on this riveting story…………….
