Cool Or Creepy Things Found In The Bush Or On Your Property

[Peter 315]

We have the Exeter UFO Festival based on a sighting also..Exeter UFO Festival

 

[Runner]

In your yard since you've lived there? Or as you bought a property?
Someone lobbing arrows at you while you're cutting the grass or something?
Used condoms? Friggin' yikes !!

Yes, new-style arrows, find one every couple of years for 18 years. Never saw one land, thankfully, but they are in areas where I would be standing when taking the dog out or whatever.

Many low-lifes live in my area and all of them drive past my house regularly and dump their trash. Diapers, you name it....

In a park that was local to my old house.
We would go mountain biking in the woods all the time.
Would find little decorations etc. in the woods.

One day someone set up a whole "classroom" of dolls on little rough made desks.
It was there for many years, think it made the papers once.

No one stepped up to claim they did it.

Kinda creepy.

Same deal near me. People go out to the local trails and put colorful little gnome doors with rounded tops over holes in the bases of trees.

I took the pool cover off of our pool one year and saw a black ring about 4" in diameter on the bottom. It was a 9mm jacketed slug. The jacket reacted with the salt water making the stain. There was a small hole in the winter cover. It scrubbed right off.

But goes to show you what goes up... comes down somewhere.

Remember back about 30 years ago when a couple of guys stole a plastic gnome from somebody's yard and then starting sending anonymous pictures of the gnome with famous landmarks in the background from around the world?

They would get a snapshot with the stolen gnome at the Eiffel Tower or the pyramids or maybe Niagara Falls? They guys finally fessed up, returned the gnome and everyone had a good laugh. I think that concept is behind the gnome in the hotel ads often seen in print or on TV.

Couple time a year when walking the property, women's underwear and used condoms. Sometime surrounded by beer cans.

 

[MossRoad]

I posted this in the "Tell us something" thread but I'll post it here as well....

My neighbor told me there was an old septic tank between my garage and theirs "Right under that low spot in the grass." So I started digging. About a foot down under the grass I found a suitcase. Inside the suitcase was a metal doll stroller, and about a dozen empty plastic syrup, mustard and detergent bottles..... I stopped digging.

Not on our property, but about a mile or so away.

Gunshots, lady was walking her dog down the road, finds an injured Bald Eagle in the ditch.

What kind of JERK shoots a Bald Eagle?

Bird was transported to a vet that specializes in Birds, unfortunately the Eagle succumbed to it's injuries.

I Hope they catch this person. Will post up any more news on this, So far this does not sound like the Eagle was hit by a car, but was shot.

Vet pulled out ~ 20 pellets of Buckshot, the Bald Eagle had a broken wing and ribs.

I don't concider myself a jerk but if a bald eagle was threatening my pets..... And I'm not much of a pet man either.

Well shooting it next to a community hall, with a shotgun and leaving the National Symbol of America to bleed out in a ditch is chicken sh-- in my book and my wife's brother actually did have their little dog scooped up by an Eagle right in front of all of us at an outside party a few years back. Unfortunate yes.

No one in that area has complained of Eagle attacks the Lady walking the dogs does it virtually everyday, I hope someone's property camera caught video.

The Law on shooting Bald Eagles may be a bit different in Canada...

Sorry for the Rant, but I still think it was a Jerk Move.

ps. What the Law says:

Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act​

The Bald Eagle will continue to be protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act even though it has been delisted under the Endangered Species Act.
This law, originally passed in 1940, provides for the protection of the Bald Eagle and the Golden Eagle (as amended in 1962) by prohibiting the take, possession, sale, purchase, barter, offer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, of any Bald or Golden eagle, alive or dead, including any part, nest, or egg, unless allowed by permit Bald Eagle sitting in tree (16 U.S.C. 668(a); 50 CFR 22).
“Take” includes pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture, trap, collect, molest or disturb (16 U.S.C. 668c; 50 CFR 22.3).
The 1972 amendments increased civil penalties for violating provisions of the Act to a maximum fine of $5,000 or one year imprisonment with $10,000 or not more than two years in prison for a second conviction.
Felony convictions carry a maximum fine of $250,000 or two years of imprisonment. The fine doubles for an organization.
Rewards are provided for information leading to arrest and conviction for violation of the Act.
