We live in the middle of 35 acres of woods in a very rural area and see all sorts of wildlife. We frequently have deer grazing in our back yard and last autumn had FIVE bucks, six points and up, visiting! Last spring a group of tom turkeys were strutting their stuff with their tails all fanned out and we've had whole flocks come through, sometimes with tiny chicks. Did y'all know that turkey hens do communal mothering? I've seen several hens cooperatively taking care of over a dozen babies many times. We also have grouse, foxes, and sometimes at night hear cayotes in the valley beyond us. I caught a baby rattler once and a few years ago saw what I think was a black bear at the end of our lane. Also, every time we have a good rain in the spring and summer the toads come out at night - I often have to shoo them off the lane ahead of the car while my husband is trying to drive up to the house. There are so many deer in this area that they are becoming a nuisance - last summer we saw at least twenty fawns when we normally see one or two at the most. Every fall I hope for a large deer harvest but it never seems to happen so the herd gets bigger and bigger.
