Wildlife
Late this afternoon I set and watched a flock of turkeys slowly make their way up a ridge less than a hundred yards from my easy chair. It was getting dark and several flew up in the white pines to roost. I thought back to when I was young. There was no turkey, deer or bear here then. The only game we had was squirrel, rabbits and quail. There are now more deer than rabbits. We have plenty of squirrels and no quail. I would love to hear a bobwhite calling in the afternoon this spring but I know it’s not going to happen. We know to never leave anything a bear might eat outside and never leave a trash bag in the bed of a truck you like.
I was wondering how much difference others have seen in the wildlife in your area. I’ve lived on the same little farm all my life so the change is obvious. So what change have you seen?
