We stepped out the back door at Medic 4 the other night to run a call, and a doe was waiting for us 3 ft from the door. We were all scared for a second.

I was glad to see you, if it was only passing by. I have missed you all while I've been away from the board. I have worked alot of overtime. I have finally slowed down, and got the fireworks stand going. So, I'm gonna "chill" for a week, then hopefully go to Pigeon Forge, or to the beach. I need a break from the action.......glad to be back among friends!!!!

Just a few deer. I keep hoping to see a coyote in the big field that the fireworks stand sits on. But, no luck so far.

Some people say they are but I firmly beleive they are NO mountain lions here. No body has been able to show any proof what so ever. My neice who lives over Macedonia way says she walked out in the pasture one morning out behind where she lives to see if there were deer out there (there usually were) she didn't see the deer but did see a "panther" and she would know and would not tell a fib.

My neice who lives over Macedonia way says she walked out in the pasture one morning out behind where she lives to see if there were deer out there (there usually were) she didn't see the deer but did see a "panther" and she would know and would not tell a fib. SC Dept. of Natural Resources June 23, 2008 SC mountain lion an Internet hoax Most people in this day and age get at least some of their news from the Internet and so it's not a surprise that a sizable portion of the information on the World Wide Web is incorrect. One such story floating around via e-mail is of a wild mountain lion being struck by a car and severely wounded recently east of Greenwood in Saluda County. The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has received numerous phone calls and e-mails regarding the so-called mountain lion and wants the public to be assured this is a hoax. The hoax e-mail says, among other things, that "Wally Tiernan" struck the mountain lion on Highway 178 and an officer from DNR was called to dispatch the animal. No officer or any other personnel from DNR in Region 3 (which covers Saluda) or any other region in South Carolina has received a call or dealt with any mountain lion. "The photo that was attached to the e-mail was also a giveaway," says DNR Furbearer Project supervisor Jay Butfiloski, "It appears to be taken in a taxidermy shop out West due to the types of animals mounted on the walls." It should also be noted that a wild mountain lion or cougar has not been documented in South Carolina in many decades. The only possibility of such an animal would be as an escaped "exotic" pet. The popular and reliable website Snopes specializes in deflating Internet rumors and lists the hoax with the same pictures from February of this year. It lists the story as "true," but with the twist that the original photos are of a mountain lion killed by a truck in Arizona. It goes further to note the story has been altered in numerous states to make it a hoax with the latest update from June 19 and the aforementioned "Wally Tiernan" addition. DNR protects and manages South Carolina's natural resources by making wise and balanced decisions for the benefit of the state's natural resources and its people. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Only way I will ever believe anybody seen one here is if I'm beside. Sorry.
