The Tuul Crib 7,336 #1 Posted July 29, 2020 I'm out in my front yard making the rounds on the tractor and I am coming up the pathway through the woods and glance over to my left to see this staring me down! This thing was not even scared from the sound of my tractor. Just laying there without a worrie! I hope he knows that by fall he needs to be getting out of the neighborhood because I will have them in my sites!! 8 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skwerl58 702 #2 Posted July 29, 2020 They are beautiful animals that browse continuously. One jumped my 6 1/2 feet fence and enjoyed some snaps (green beans), tomatoes and butternut squash. Added a little more height to the fence and have kept them out for a couple weeks. I have some venison in the freezer and just had some venison burger tacos last night. I am eagerly waiting for bow season to open in early October, my second season of bow hunting. I will also hunt muzzle loader and rifle season here in SW Virginia. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,279 #6 Posted July 29, 2020 With the amount of time that we spend outdoors in our own forest we've had quite a few wildlife encounters over the last few years. Deer, bobcat, moose, bear, and whatever else you can imagine that's smaller. Always interesting when it happens. Just last week we were on the backside of a fairly popular mountain where there was recent sign of a female moose. We heard quite a loud crunch not too far into the woods but didn't stick around to see what it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Such a wonderful animal to watch. Some years ago I watch a man carry his dog into the woods to look a a moose. This was in Yellowstone. I did not stick around to see the results as there were plenty of others watching him as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
