It may have just been coincidence or divine intervention but if I had not slowed down
Funny how that stuff works. I've lost count.

That's what anti hunting causes. Now try to keep the deer from eating your shrubbery and the turkey stalling traffic and the Coyote eating the neighborhood pets. I can't wait for the black bear in downtown and the wolves in the backyard.
Determined little buggers they are.Well, now I know who put the hole in the mesh of my composting box.............

That doe has a sad look. Maybe she doesn't like that city either.Driving through the city of champions this morning, coming up on a Honey Dew just past the Mall, and i see something almost ready to cross the road and i say to myself , " wtf ? In this dump of a city is wildlife ? " i turn around in the next parking lot, grab my camera, and drive back. The deer had walked back into a small patch of woods on the corner , but just stood there and looked at me. There was another smaller one about 10yds past this one. View attachment 331663
I love watching (and listening to) the turkeys coming down in the morning from way up in the trees. Clumsy bastards.
A doe and 2 yearlings Monday morning about 4 am
Lots of cottontail rabbit in the area that I like to hunt. Just means fewer rabbits for me. LolWhy unfortunately???
Ah. I thought you were one of those "the only good wolves are dead wolves" types. (same for coyote-wolf hybrids in this AO) I concur they CAN be a problem. But until they are, they are part of the food chain.
And not every time.
I watched a long vid on skinning, fleshing, and tanning yote hide. Yeah, no thanks.I passed on a coyote when hunting deer a couple seasons ago. He came out of a logging cut like 25 yards right in front of me. Stared at me......I raised my shotgun and gave him a choice......go left or right and your good.....come at me and take a slug. He chose wisely.
I took alot of crap from a hunting buddy of mine for not shooting it. I don't shoot what I don't plan to use....and I don't know how to process a skin for fur so I let em walk.
My concern like I said is he's competing with me for cottontail......and he is probably much better at hunting them than I am. Lol
Saw bald eagles 4 different days duck hunting this year.... and one was on the north shore.
