Thread: A new crop of wildlife...

Lots of ham & bacon on that beast for sure.

Takes a lot of concentration to rid an area of these destructive critters. A few are normal, but when they eat turkey eggs and decimate road runner populations and multiply
like crazy, you have to protect the edible animals and keep a moderate balance. Someone has to do it and I did volunteer to help. This is the largest group I've captured on
game cam. (7)

I have issues with them as well even though I live in a small neighborhood! A few years ago we spotted 5 of them going up a big willow next to my boat house. The lake was very low then and I also had 2 cocker spaniels so I didn't feel I could let them stay so I tried to take care of that problem, but there was one I didn't get, never could see that sucker! Now here I am and I have to bring my bird feeders in every night and ow as of tonight I will even have to bring in my Hummingbird feeder as he's even getting into that every night and I find it on the ground empty the next morning. I am not a happy camper and I will stay up one night soon to handle this issue!

Coons are rascals for sure , I read they are heck on quail eggs as well .....old smart ones are really hard to ketch for sure....had a run in with several of them on several occasions , they will flat out empty a fish feeder to .....
And yes sir I seen that monster hog somewhere before , what a whale he was ....lol

She has been watching me put the corn on the ground for a while and decided I'm not a threat while mowing her territory.

I do enjoy being able to be closer to the wildlife and them still keep doing what they were. I mean even when I go outside like this morning and I was going to put out my last suet feeder and noticed all flew off except a juvenal Red-bellied Woodpecker that stayed on the bard butter feeder and never did fly off. Once I cam inside I looked out the window and he had moved to the feeder I just put out which had some of their favorite stuff in it, lol! Last year I had one of the adult males that would come in close even if I was still out there putting their stuff out and once his babies were born and ready to leave the nest, he brought them here and he would let me walk out of my door and watch them only 10' away feeding his young.

Your doe maybe would get closer and closer over time. There use to be a guy that had several deer inside a fence area right on the Hwy on my way up here when I lived in Orange Texas. Sometimes on our way here or back home we would stop to look at the deer and they got so they would come to the fence and take cigarette out of our hand, lol! That was my only experience so close to a living deer and it's pretty awesome stuff.
