A problem I'm glad we don't have in Indiana

I'm thinking S would be better

Or perhaps S.

We were watching a show on tv a couple weeks ago that had quite a few scenes involving wolves. There was a fairly long scene where the wolves were howling. Our shepherd was laying on the couch sound asleep, but perked up when the howling started, then HE started howling! Our other two dogs got up and went in the other room.

When I was a kid, my parents had this album:



Our dog at the time (wirehaired fox terrier) would just tense up and shake whenever I'd play it.

I used to hunt a woods that wasn't far from a small private zoo. It was pretty strange to be sitting in my tree stand in the Indiana woods, and hear their big male lion roaring in the distance.

When the kids were little we went to a local zoo. It was in Northern CA. They had a huge male lion. On this trip he was roaring as loud as he could. I got up to the double fence, maybe 15' from him. It was an incredible experience. So loud I could feel the sound in my body.

I kinda wouldn’t mind a small pack of wolves. Coyotes up here are out of control.

There are more Coyotes inside the city limits of Indianapolis than most can comprehend.

Worked nights for years early on in my career and this is very true. There aren't any places in Indianapolis I'd be surprised to see one.

The big cat rescue near Brazil can provide the same experience. Been several years since were were there but you could get pretty close to a variety of big cats. I had to put a feral steer down on the SE side of Indy many years ago, it went out to the cat rescue to feed the kitties.

They have a small house you can stay in overnight. My wife loves animals and for her birthday I reserved an overnight stay there. This house is inside the sanctuary and you can hear the big cats all night. Awesome experience.
