Title: And I thought the squirrels raided my feeder?
Post by: Jeff U on May 28, 2010, 08:45:00 PM
This afternoon I find new back yard pests:

The buck in the second photo looks pretty big.

To give some perspective the bottom of the feeder is 50 inches off the ground and the feeder is 20 inches long.

the only thing that would make that second photo better is if his ears were out, then we could really see!!!  Either way this is awesome!!!

I might be overstepping my boundries here, but.... I assume you will let me come squirrel hunt your place. To protect your very important bird feeder of course. That is a big squirrel and I think I could help you out with the "pest " problem.

That's sweet, I had two Does in my yard a few days ago, was such a nice sight I waited a bit till they left before I continued to my mower.

I would much rather watch them than the squirrels. Not that I mind watching squirrels either.
