Spooky. Are you living out of town Lincoln? It’s kind of weird, you could say I live in the outskirts of a town, there are other houses though, not exactly nice people |

I recorded these sounds while standing behind my home i also heard an owl before I started recording Nice one Lincoln. This is almost "Great outdoors" content, but either way very interesting and cool. Occasionally I can hear red fox screams from my yard, different but also spooky and creepy. |

Spooky. Are you living out of town Lincoln? It’s kind of weird, you could say I live in the outskirts of a town, there are other houses though, not exactly nice people Some of my neighbours are anti-social and it's awkward, a real sign of the modern world how so many neighbours are now not friendly with one another. The more people in an area the less they recognize one another or connect. I'm recently back living in the country town I was raised, but before that was on a 130 acre rural farm. Wild dog was the baddest carnivora we saw at the farm, they sometimes targeted the calves. Some fox as well. I stopped on the side of the road for a large fox out there once that I thought was injured (it wasn't) and walked right up to it within 2 yards without it flinching. I couldn't believe how tame a wild fox was. But Australia is fairly boring for large carnivora, not nearly dangerous enough. |

Hope you don't mind, I did end up moving it to great outdoors. The "general forum discussion" is more for talking about the forum itself. I want the great outdoors subforum to have more content like this also. Extra points for members getting outside and doing some "naturalist" observations.

Most of them I’ve never spoke a word to, the way I see it is, you don’t bother me and I won’t bother you. When I say they are not exactly nice I am referring to the stuff they do |

I live on the kind of outskirts. I haven't seen a single fucking coyote but there were coyotes out in public that broad daylight waltzed up to a lady and killed her shitty tiny dog the town over. There's literally a bunch of patches of trees here, why can bobcats live here but not coyotes? I want to see them.

Most animals have shrinking ranges, but coyotes actually have an expanding range.  So they are kind of "new" to Florida and probably aren't dense there and haven't reached every nook and cranny. You could almost say they're not supposed to be there, kind of like an introduced species. I wonder if before it's extinction the Florida black wolf was naturally keeping coyotes out. Coyotes coexist with wolves but they may be better able to do so when the wolves are very large, a smaller wolf might be too quick and agile for them to evade. |

But the ones that literally never say hi I view as uncool dexter snobs. One of my current neighbour's literally never said a word, even in first introductions. That's just really fucking weird. |

My neighbors are nice but we don't talk and I'm shy. When it is needed, like in hurricane irma they kind of bro'd us up a bit and offered some help. And they help us catch Yoshi/they put him in a headlock like a bulldog catching a bull so we can leash him/walk Yoshi back home. |

We never got help for Ian but we never asked and never talked to our neighbors. Not their fault and not their problem. Everyone else got completely fucked though yet our roof stayed intact because we had just gotten a new one.

Out on the farm we had this neighbour that was infamous in the area, anyone that turned up on his doorstep are straight away greeted with something like "Now you can go get fucked". And true story, his last name was Looney. Old super-paranoid bugger in his 80s, funny as shit he is. |

In my area there are all these neighbours that are friends and go to eachothers houses but they are all white South Africans and they don't want to know me and the feeling is mutual. White South Africans kind of suck. It's like they don't really have senses of humour and are just off.
I've lived in both very upper class fancy neighbourhoods and pretty sketchy trashy neighbourhoods. This current one is the former, white South Africans in Australia are almost invariably rich and stuck up snobs and that's the kind of people I live near right now. When I was growing up with my dog "Ralph" it's a good thing he was such a maniac because we lived among criminal scum and he was probably the main thing preventing bad things from happening to us. He attacked multiple people for good reason (and some for no good reason), but you felt safe with Ralph around either way.
When he was older we moved to a better neighbourhood in my home town with rich-ish people who were Australians rather than south Africans. The neighbourhood had a fairly good vibe I guess and we knew a lot of people. Tbh now I really would rather keep to myself and be left alone regardless.
