The only consistent wildlife around us are rabbits. My dog tries to chase and kill them.

Not intentionally. We do have a small garden and fruit trees.

If you do, you’re the problem.

I assume all of you with lawns or plants feed them all the time.

Wow, didn’t even know Albino squirrels existed.

We have a bird feeder that attracts all sorts of animals. Also have an apple tree that the deer from frequently. There are at least 10 deer a night in my backyard. If I was a hunter, I would have a field day. When I was growing up, there were 2 albino deer near my parents house. One is still in the area, but haven’t seen the other in probably 10 years.

I love the variety of animals at my house. Other than the groundhog. He needs to die…

About 2 hours ago I had a raccoon take a slice of bread from my hand. I don’t hunt and I enjoy all the nature that ventures along the creek. Everyday I put out corn and bread. Roughly 8 different dow with 3 fawn and had 4 bucks but have only seen 2 as of last 3 days. The Turkey population was decimated by the coyotes but roughly 11-14 at one time. Roughly 10 years ago in a deep winter I had 31 deer and roughly 50 Turkey in my back yard all at once, it was a mosh pit of animals. I could pour out corn and pet a 10 point it was so hungry. 50lb bag and I think 35kb block with bread all gone by morning. The block shocked me.


Since the coyotes are being scared away by the constant construction I have never seen so many rabbits, squirrels, ground squirrels, Blue Jays, Chickadees, Cardinals, gophers, crackles, a few crow, constantly spotting Gardner snakes in woods and a possum. Glad I don’t see the skunk anymore but at least 5 raccoons. I miss having the pair of ducks that would come from the creek. I love it and I’m in the city.

We feed the families of deer that come through our property. Apples, carrots and such.

Don't specifically feed the foxes or rabbits that are out there

This is a bad idea. Mostly for the animals.
