    Default What critters do you see???

    Was watching "Zaboomafoo" with my son and they were featuring porcupines. I got to thinking that it would be cool to see one of em go waddling by my stand.

    Here's what I see during a normal season(besides deer):


    1. Squirrels(millions )
    2. Coyotes
    3. Racoons
    4. Mink(in one stand location only)
    5. Birds--Crows, Hawks, Owls, and millions of red-headed woodpeckers.

    We don't have feral hogs on my land or on our lease. We've got bobcats but I've yet to see one while on stand.

    I know I'm probably forgetting something.

    How about ya'll???

    Everything you mentioned, cats, dogs, turkey's, bear sign never the bear itself! All while being in the mountain! The house cat really got me that one day, he must have been at least 3-4 miles away from any house. If he only knew how close he was, had the scope on him for a few minutes!

    The givens I see are song birds,crows and squirrels/chipmunks. On occasion I see hawks,owls,eagles,mice,geese,and ducks. I have seen a bobcat once, and coyotes twice. Last year I had a porcupine around my stand for most of an afternoon during the early bow season. It was pretty cool to watch for sure.
