Sitting on my front porch minding my own business and this little critter snuck up behind me and ran between my legs.
Curious I guess when he came back and stood up to look at me!

I needed to trim some vine maples that were starting to overhang the roof. I trimmed out the tip branches that had leaves from the main trunks and piled the leafy tips up outside my office window. As expected, the deer herd found the leaves irresistible.
At one point, there were four does and two fawns munching on the pile. This is actually a traditional strategy to supplement grass known as "tree hay".

Both of us probably oughta’ start thinking about carrying Weasel Spray for protectionTrying to decide whether or not he could haul you off.I had 1 climb up on my boot & do the same thing one time. If weasels weighed 25# the woods wouldn't be safe.
Think thats called a wolverine. So ya, definitely not safe. That whole family of critters are bad ass.Trying to decide whether or not he could haul you off.
Wolverines are definitely foul-tempered demons. I've seen them 3 times, although I believe one occasion was a repeat. I was using a predator call & a Wolverine made a brief appearance. When I got back to my rig I spotted a Wolverine again. I believe that critter followed me for the better part of a mile or so.
My 24yo son, who leads school kids on nighttime bullfrog gigging expeditions, totally wanted to kill it. I probably should have, and eaten the legs.

I had no idea Blue Jays were so smart.
We have two suet cake feeders in the back yard. One is stationary and the other hangs from a branch. The Jays will not use the hanging feeder and they cleaned out the stationary one early.
This guy solved the problem by flying up and pecking at the hanging feeder and either eating what he was able to keep in his beak or dropping to the ground to search for what he knocked loose.
Impressive…or at least I thought so
