What is the difference between a gulch and a gully?

I think you have to strap a 4 x 4 on your butt so you don't fall in a gulch.

gulch (glch)

n.

A small ravine, especially one cut by a torrent.

gully or gulley

Noun

pl -lies or -leys

1. a channel or small valley originally worn away by running water

2. Cricket a fielding position on the off side, between the slips and point [French goulet neck of a bottle]

The difference seems to be whether the erosion was slow or fast, with gully being the result of a slower stream. Extending that, I would say that a gulch would have a V shape, while a gully would have a U shape.

Depends on the redneck that's lookin down from the lips of the gulch/gully

What Is A Gulch

I think ms. manners hit the nail on the head. I also think this is a large gray area when it comes to dogs. I think dogs are possessive when they are 'protecting' from things that clearly aren't threats. Then again, it could also be that the dog perceives a threat where we don't--or that the dog is merely protecting themselves while the humans stand by. I also think that dogs can absolutely protect their owners and/or family members. I had an Aussie cut off a bull that was charging at me when I was younger--I certainly viewed that as protection. Same dog also 'protected' us from a dark object in the night once--she wouldn't let us near, and slowly and carefully worked out what it was. Turns out it was a grill cover that had blown over, but that's not the point :)

I think a gulch is larger.

the amount of pebbles at the bottom!!

all i know is that there is water in both.
