Give them some corn and they will say out of your trees.

Moose occasionally drift into Newton and Lawrence Mass. Deer wander all the Boston suburbs, although they tend to be “people shy”. Whenever the snow cover gets deep, especially towards the end of winter, hunger drives them closer to inhabited dwellings.

She’s healthy-looking, too.
They are so common where I’m from, Mississippi, I’d probably see 20 a day on my commute to work. We don’t get to see them in the snow, though. Pretty.

At our previous abode, our pear trees and my garden peas were candy to those critters. At our current address it’s a major chore to zig zag through them on the way to work. Frankly, you can keep them.
Now, let’s talk about wild boars who dig up yards.

I feed feral cats on my porch. I live near a park and greenbelt. Periodically a white faced possum will come to the porch to partake of the cat food. Birds and grackles also join in and recently I was a hawk standing on my neighbors lawn.

Give them some corn and and pretty soon you'll have herds of them eating your shrubbery.

What kind of fruit trees do you have that produce in the winter?

I live in Michigan. We see deer as big edible rats.

Just chased 8 or 10 of them buggers from my yard this morning. They were having my new landscape plants for breakfast. The snow covers most of the upper elevations so they are coming down for food. Going to fire up the SUV, we need more global warming.

I had a bobcat a few yards from my office window last Fall and I’ve been told that there are mountain lions and bears in the area where I work.
I’ve also seen eagles, hawks, coyotes, wolves, skunks, squirrels, rabbits and deer out there as well.

I live in a suburb of KCMO (I say suburb but Overland Park is actually the third largest city in Kansas and our neighbor Olathe is moving up there too. I rarely go into KCMO. Anyway, we live one block from a greenway and frequently see deer, sometimes as many as three or five at a time, wandering through the neighborhood. We also occasionally see fox. We have hawks, and the usual pests such as squirrels, possum, racoons, woodchucks, ground squirrels, etc. Mostly they stay under control because we have two dogs and a cat. The deer cleaned out my husband’s giant zinias one year. He put in motion sensing lights but we think that they liked them so he started calling them courtesy dining lights. Other than that, they don’t do any damage and they’re fun to watch.

Anyone else have any critter sightings? Saw a carload of critters from New Jersey riding down my road last week but they were moving too fast and I couldn't draw a bead on em................

Lots of critters. I have a possum family that shows up every night in the backyard. My neighbor has an unsed shed where I believe they live. Harmless critters and they make great natural sanitation engineers.
Then there's the dozens of bird species, as we live in a narural migration path. Along with the songbirds come these guys--

We're overrun with mourning doves but we've got several types of woodpeckers that come to the feeder.

Live in southwest Ohio ... greater Cincinnati area.
Our home is in close proximity to a 375 acre wooded nature preserve. Our property, at least in the back of our home is wooded. We see deer frequently, the occasional eastern coyote, wild turkey, pileated woodpeckers, raccoon, possum and so on. We currently have snow cover in our area so it’s time to feed the birds.
