We aren't supposed to have chipmunks or copperheads here either, but we do.
Yeah like someone already said, there are no invisible fences at the state lines!

Late 80’s up in Bruce/Red Bay at the tree farm . I’ve got some VHS footage of a big Fla. Red Wolf somewhere . When I reported /showed it to FWC , I was told it was a coyote . I showed him pictures of coyotes . Big difference in size , mouth , and colorings . He insisted it was a yote and that F.R.W. hadn’t been sighted /reported in a very long time . Right !At least now I know I'm not the only one that sees animals that "aren't supposed to be here".
I will try to find it . And take some stills to post .Late 80’s up in Bruce/Red Bay at the tree farm . I’ve got some VHS footage of a big Fla. Red Wolf somewhere .

Roger that . We know what we know . Hit me up sometime if you’re ever near Niceville. Would be great to talk things over breakfast , compare hunting notes maybe . Breakfast on me if we can make it work . Have a great one .They love to insist things don't exist that you've looked at with your own two eyes!
I'm virtually certain most (really all) of what I see in Eglin is the FRW and not coyotes. I see coyotes in BW (and out west), and there is a distinct difference that is pretty easily recognizable after you've seen a couple of each. I've been way too close to far too many of them in Eglin to be wrong on all of them. You'd swear a FRW was just some sort of Shepherd mix, if you didn't know there was a FRW!
you better not kill it to prove a point LOL

closer to some of the better areas
I've got three chipmunk families living around my house.We aren't supposed to have chipmunks or copperheads here either, but we do.

You grew up around here as well . I’m sure you’ve got some stories . Hit me up . Would like to swap tales . Always nice to talk to locals who have seen the changes around here .Eglin is a special place where I could see species existing that officials claim don't exist. A lot of the land is off limits to the Public so no wildlife cameras are in those areas. I have no doubt @WRM is right about the FRW on Eglin, lots of land for them to hide on not open to the public and since they're protected even if you see one you better not kill it to prove a point LOL!
Sure thing .Include me on that breakfast get together if you don't mind. With gas prices what they are and my hunting lease in Mississippi 342 miles away I'm most likely just going to make one long hunting trip there this year around Christmas time. With less trips I'm going to focus on hunting on Eglin again, been a while but now that I'm in FWB and closer to some of the better areas I'm going to start hunting it again.
Pm inbound .Sure thing .

Not quite a local but been here since 92
30 yrs. That’s local enough .Not quite a local but been here since 92. Air Force brought me here where I separated and stayed. Spent my first 6 years as a Telephone Maintenance troop fixing phone lines all over the Eglin Range at all the various sites! Most of my time spent on the range has been fishing these days but I have spent a good amount of time hunting it, just never had much luck. Never took it serious but ready to now that I moved into town and getting out there will be easier for me now!
