Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 Well, I live in Middle TN, we don't have any bears in our region. I am sorta glad, I would probably have a heart attack if I was in my back yard and confronted one. lol. But we have had this doe and fawn grazing in our field beside us all summer long. We watched as the fawn grew up and now has just about lost all the spots. I can sit on my front porch swing in the evening, just before dark, and watch them graze. The mother will often look up and just stare at me, and if I'm still, she'll just start eating again. I find it soooo relaxing. We also have squirrels that run havoc all over the place. They are quite amusing. I believe I'm going to put out some nuts for them this winter though. My husband and one of my sons are really really into hunting. But I've already told them that the squirrels and deer in our yard are totally out of bounds. They will have to go back in the woods to do their stuff. We live on 30 acres attached to my cousin's 30 acres and Dad and mom have 52 acres right down the street. We live in a quickly growing yet small community. I've always lived here and know just about everyone, and lots and lots of kin folk, which made it quite hard in my dating years...hee hee, my sisters and I would go to mom, " Mom, are we kin to the ____Browns____? " Whatever the last name might have been? HEE HEE Our biggest problem since we've lived in the house we're in now, (Since Nov. last year) has been coyotes and skunks. A family friend has cows on this land and two of his cows are now missing tails due to the coyotes and we have had to shoot one since he was in our backyard at noon time one Saturday, all mangy and not scared at all of humans. THAT was scary. I still don't let the children go outside at night by themselves. AND the skunks. pewwwwweeee.LOL a Faye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 a, I live in a very small town in East Tn, and we have lots of squirrels. I guess we are almost neighbors.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 We have coyotes here, but they don't bother anyone. I would love to see them re-introduce wolves here as well, but it does not seem as though that is going to happen in the near future, as the only thing that they are re-introducing are more houses in the past decade Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
