    A Neighbor Visits

    I'm looking out my shop door about Northeast. Sun just starting to brighten the morning.

    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    When I had my Cabin in the the mountains of Idaho, I had all manner of wildlife. Mule deer (I fed them carrots in winter), elk, Moose (Come right up and look in the window). Always something new and exciting.

    My long time friend now deceased, moved out of NY and bought a 112 acres in WVirginia.
    He house was an almost straight ride up a quarter mile driveway. He had a raised meadow on I dont know how many acres, it was huge to me, anyway he said when we go up to the meadow dont make alot of noise just sit in the 4wheeler.

    We got up to the meadow and he spread around a couple of bags of grain feed and put out a big salt block, he made some noises with his mouth that I couldnt identify and before you know it deer started coming warily but still coming until there was a half a dozen or more eating the grain and salt right in front of my friend, a couple came right up to him. I thought that was neat as hell.

    I love that. My family has a vacation spot in Allegheny National Forest in PA. When we go, a routine family thing do is feed the raccoons after dark. We leave out food for them and they come down the mountain. We then go out and give them marshmallows, which they love. Probably not great for them, but it's fun. They will literally come up and take a marshmallow from your hand with their paws. We've had instances where a momma raccoon will bring her babies down for the feeding.

    I was sitting near my fossiling area near dusk, I felt I was being watched and looked up to see a bobcat about 40 ft away, we saw each other at the same time (I was sitting quietly in the sand) He looked at me and trotted on, not too concerned.

    It made my day.

    I have 4 or 5 deer in my yard every day. It is why I had no big homegrown tomatoes this year

    I have a big field behind my house and a stand of woods beside me that are like a wildlife freeway as they migrate up and down the water. Not unusual to have a doe or two and their youngins spend most of the summer in the woods and then creeping about the field/garden when they think nobody is looking. Lots of raccoons about as well. Not unusual to end up with 4 to six at a time scurrying about driving my dog bonkers at night as they stare in the sliding door. Have a fat groundhog living out there, and a bunch of box turtles. One of the turtles hangs out in the brush and comes up an eats when I feed the stray cats. When I had a pitbull one day I noticed him standing in the rain staring inside his house. Went to see what was up and there were three turtles just sitting in his house. I guess he was too scared to go inside with them.
