I feed deer - lots of deer. I feed lots of everything.
Eddy, here's a good one to show your wife.

[Bob_in_TN]

That's neat Nancy, but I'll stick with deer. My Doberman met one of your friends a couple of years ago and it took us days of cleaning her up, just enough that we could stand to be around her.

Nancy...

My wife concurs with Bob. She says that she'll stick with her squirrels! I also remember the last time our dog tangled with one of those black and white critters..... it took three large bottles of Hunts Ketchup to get her where we could even stand to be around her.

Awwwwwwhhh you just have to know HOW to treat 'em and know when they mean business.

We were in a Save-A-Lot in Tennessee one day last year and a guy came out carrying a box of fat back and bones. I asked him what in the world he was going to do with it. Seemed like a lot of pea soup and baked beans to me. He said that he feeds a pack of foxes that come to his back porch every night around dusk. I always thought that they were a solitary animal but apparently when food is invovled the rules change.

[Nancy_G]

We had just one red fox that came in early each evening ~ One grey came in too late to photograph

Gee Nancy,
You could rent out rooms in your house just to experience that. The photos are wonderful, and it looks like such a peaceful kingdom you have there.

I've had my own skunk experience that would never allow me to get that close to another one.
My own family banished me and the dog for 2 days. We had to sleep down by the dock and ride home in the very back of the stationwagon with the back window down from our little vacation in the woods. .

You must not have chickens.

[Nancy_G]

Thor We don't have chickens and ~sigh~ we don't have skunks or raccoons anymore. We stopped feeding them because we learned from MO Conservation that they were solitary animals and drawing them together in "clumps" like we did was detrimental and spread disease.
(And, boy, was it it getting expensive) But I miss those little rascals.

We still feed a lot of deer, turkeys and birds.

Yup, the government takes the fun out of watching animals.
Nancy, beautiful pictures.

I always take a camera when I am hunting. Yup, I am one of those bad bad "PETA" memebers, "People Eating Tasty Animals".

[Kenny_S]

Well, first time I have mowed in 37 degree weather. but the lawn looks nice for tomorrow, even if the Grandkids don't get to hunt for Easter eggs outdoors. Might be in mid fifties tomorrow.
