In the same vein as the American Top 5.

What are the dangerous game species of North America?

Which animals would you rate as American Dangerous Game?

And have you tangled with any of them and survived?

A couple of questions:

1. Kodiak bear and Grizzly bear - aren't they the same species, even if sub-species, but from different locations? Kodiak from the Kodiak peninsula, and Grizzlys from Alaska, Canada and North West USA?

2. Bob cat / Lynx - how dangerous are they? Do they attack adult or child humans as prey or is it if they are wounded? Can they be legally hunted?

Redbeard

You are too cryptic! Please explain what you mean by "little american women" so a dumb southernor (me) (ie a real one not all you Northernors) can be educated. Thanks

Acctually to my knowledge the Kodiak is a different species of bear and not a subspecies,I could be wrong.As for the bobcat yes it is legal to hunt him.How dangerous he is depends on the amount of natural prey in his habitate.

So do Bobcat attack humans unprovoked?

Redbeard

If you look up on a clear night and can't see the Southern Cross, youre a "northernor"!

A traditional camp kitchen piece of equipment down here is the cast iron "camp oven". A large medium deep pot with a lid, the lid having a shallow lip. Also three or four small legs. The camp oven can be heated by putting coals underneath and for extra heat putting a shovel load on the lid. The lip keeps the ash from falling in when lifting the lid with a pair of pliers.

Used for cooking stews or Aussie bush bread "damper".

African also use nice little cast iron pots with longer legs. Nice little things. If they weren't so heavy and blucky I would bring a couple home with me.

What about "gaitors"?

The American alligator of the Florida Everglades and assorted other Southern states.

Should they be included as American Dangerous Game?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jaguar?

If we are talking about North American dangerous game, do the Jaguar cats still exist in Central America and Southern Mexico? Indeed I think there were reports of sightings recently even in Southern USA! Possibly a release or escapee of course.

yes bobcats do occasianly do attack people as far as gators go I do not know if it is legal to hunt any other than those that might be a danger to the human population in an area they were on the endagered species list here last I heard. and Redbeard the question was game animals not dangerous preditors.Soo femalesof the human persuasion don't count.
