In West Virginia, farmers are getting fed up with browsing deer destroying their crops at night; but maybe they should outlaw Windex during the rutting season, as another deer, this time in Nebraska, injured itself when it crashed through a window. Sheriff's deputies in California's Yolo County have had a couple of run-ins with local deer; while police in a Pennsylvania town were forced to shoot a frantic deer who was rampaging through town. The debate over Wisconsin's controversial 'Earn-A-Buck' deer-hunting provision continues; but Arizona Fish and Game's hunting raffle has reaped about $1.5 million for programs that benefit the hunted animal populations. A fawn in Rockland, Massachusetts, has a local resident to thank for rescuing it quite literally from the jaws of death. Coyote problems in an Oregon community have homeowners improving de-fences; but an Ohio couple had to be hospitalized after their car had an accident while avoiding a coyote in the road. One or more bears appeared in a Washington community, causing a bit of a stir; and rangers at Glacier National Park accidently killed a bear with a 'cracker shell' noisemaker while trying to drive it off. A new bear-proof cooler has been tested in Yellowstone National Park by experts (grizzlies) and approved for use in bear country, dispensing with the need to hoist food ten feet off the ground at a campsite; but a black bear decided to visit a couple of horses in New Mexico who were not happy to make her acquaintance. An elusive bear has popped up again in Arkansas; while about 500 school kids were in lockdown after a bear was sighted in a Pennsylvania neighborhood. A pesky grizzly was tranquilized and relocated to a grizzly habitat in Wyoming; and a black bear's odyssey continued in Pennsylvania. Residents of a Texas town that had another rabid animal show up earlier this month brought the tally of rabid wildlife in that region to over a score so far this year; and pet owners in Kansas are being advised to keep their pets' rabies vaccinations up to date after rabid wildlife encounters spiked in the area. A hawk that apparently was struck by a car last month in Massachusetts was rehabilitated and released into the wild; and a pair of red-tail hawk chicks were removed from Seattle's airport to prevent future bird strikes by the raptors. The Ottawa Wildlife Refuge in Ohio was banding eagle chicks today, an event that was open to the public; while a bald eagle in Tennessee apparently died from ingesting lead, probably from a carcass. A couple of articles from Down Under: a New Zealander was given a hefty fine for setting an illegal possum trap and catching a weka (flightless bird) instead; and a fairly interesting article about possums in Australia is provided next. The cougar in an Ohio wildlife preserve that bit a girl will be quarantined for 30 days instead of being euthanized outright; but the dog who tangled with a cougar in Southern California will be grand marshal at a pet parade this weekend. And finally, proving that it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog that matters, a pair of pups chased off a cougar in Oregon!
