We have bulls at one of our best spots. Sometimes you just have to wait a while before you enter/exit the water...

We go cow tipping here in the Midwest United States. Kind of a Rite of Passage. Looks like those cows are going foil tipping, but got cold feet because maybe a bull was watching over that foil.

We had seagulls nesting at one of our launches. They would divebomb us and crap on us at every chance. Believe it or not, the seagull is the State Bird of Utah, so they are protected. We just had to put up with it for a few months.

Great stories! Reminds me of the greatest encounter I had with wildlife last year in Capetown. Keep those stories coming!

Re: How do you handle groupies at your spot?
Having grown up jn Wisconsin, I have done cow tipping a few times.
I never gave them any more than a bit of pocket change as generally the service was sub-par.
Consider for a moment that cows like music, so that might be a possible solution:
