I used to do a lot of night chores with the tractor, organizing stuff on pallets and then placing them accordingly along both sides of trail down the center in the thick pine tree wind break.
One night I notice a strange thing with one or two of the pine trees on the end of the row.
Being the branches go to the ground, there's no easy access to the base.
I get off tractor for a closer look, and wonder how is it possible that there is so many large branches (4 inch dia) ripped clean off at the trunk stacked up on the ground from pretty high up.
So I just shrug, and continue with the process of pallets for the next few nights.
A couple weeks goes by, and I ended up at the neighbors farm where we have been friends for 60 years.
Jim comes up to cab, and goes "Phil, did you see the bears that have been roaming your farm" I just about have to be rebooted, and then it all makes sense. I'm out there at night and stumbling into a big furry terrorist face to face is not what I had in mind.
Is this the only defense if confronted?
