Peaceable Kingdom

Turkey crosses our path in the woods
Turkey crosses our path in the woods

Deer are perfectly camouflaged in this gray brown landscape but something got a hold of one in the woods last night. We came across clumps of deer hair still attached to hunks of skin. And further up the path we saw some shit that didn’t look like it came from a dog or a deer shit because that looks like chocolate covered coffee beans and it wasn’t from a turkey because that looks like little blobs of dark pudding. We watched a coyote slink across an opening the other day and we were wondering if they might bother the deer. Our cat is not camouflaged (unless it’s snowing) and I hope they stay away from her.

  1. this is getting educational, it’s like watching an episode of ” wild kingdom” w/ Marlon Perkins

  2. Coyotes hunt in packs and deer are a prime target- they eat every part of the deer. The spread of coyotes in the Adirondacks has cut the deer population drastically. People who live up there can shoot coyotes without a permit.
    And yes, they will go after cats and small children.
