Ya think?
There are recent tracks and sign here from two mountain lions walking along the north and south boundaries of my place. There’s bear sign along the east and west boundaries (bears probably gone into hibernation very recently. It’s as if the creatures are patrolling here. :-) They haven’t come closer or bothered anything, BTW.
What’s really weird, is that some of the coyotes have been acting differently. Various lone coyotes have walked slowly, laterally across the place in daylight at about 250 yards while looking sideways at me. They don’t come any closer, either, but coyotes don’t usually behave that way. They’ve been doing that since last spring. Normally, coyotes would run straight away if seen during daylight and weren’t seen during the day so often.
