Welcome Visitor?

[Marc St Louis]

Pappy has a thread titled "life is good" and life is good but sometimes it can give you a kick in the pants. A couple weeks ago I had this guy come out on the road across from my house right at dusk. I took a picture, although the quality is low you can still make out what it is.



He came across, walked down my drive between my truck and the entrance stairs then went through my garden and into the swamp behind my house. That was nice to see, then.

This morning I get up and go outside and see a rather large hole in mygarden where I have Onions and youmg Spinach growing. I thought something has been digging, it happens. Not the case. This is what I saw



Fortunately his 6' gait was enough to clear the Fennel and Tomatoes but the Potatoes on the other side got driven down a few more inches into the ground



Now he is not such a welcome visitor but this Fall......................................

MMMM moose roast with onions and fennel eh LOL

[Hhop]

It is apparently a nuisance now, but still pretty neat, for someone like me that does not have those here!
It must be dry there. I see you are watering your plants. It rained here last weekend, but we still need more.

Your deer up there sure are awfully big and funny-looking..............If one of those came through my yard, it might walk right into the freezer 

[Justin Snyder]

They sure are heck on gardens aren't they.  Not much you can do to stop a critter that size either.  Wait for him with some blunts and put him on the run.  Justin

[Pappy]

I also have that life could be better,and this is what I am taking about,he could have just hung around till fall and stayed out of the garden.I agree that is pretty cool to see at least for us Southern boys.I have Turkeys doing the same thing and that ant to good either.

You forgot the Potatoes Dana

It was dry Harold but we just got rain and it's supposed to rain for the next few days

Ah Steve. If he hangs around long enough the freezer is where he will go. Wrong time of year right now and I still got meat.

No not much can stop them. I've seen them take down page wire fencing that will hold back Cows and Horses and just keep on going. I don't think they see stuff like that as an obstacle

   He looks like a tastey chunk of meat to me :PLooking at the garden though,you need to fertilize more.Those are small plants.

[Marc St Louis]

Gee Eddie. I thought they were doing pretty good considering we were getting freezing weather not much more than a month ago.

[DanaM]

That moose probably did fertilize the garden on its way thru

[Pat B]

Marc, Eddie lives in perpetual  summer. He wouldn't know frost if it bit him on the nose!    Pat

                                                 EXCUSE ME but I visited Eddie in Feb this year an it was 26 deg that morning. Went to knap-in  and it wasnt much warmer than that all day with wind blowin' ! Now thats cold and fer southern boys its hell ! .....bob

[mullet]

   Guess you're right Marc.I started my garden the first of Jan.I've already cut the collard greens three times,Picking tomatoes now and have 7 pineapples not far from picking.celantro,hot peppers ready to go.But then my garden will burn up in another month.

[Justin Snyder]

Marc, don't the bears get into your tomatoes?  Justin

[Marc St Louis]

And exactly where is it that you live again Eddie. I think I'm about due to pay you a visit .

I've never seen a Bear eat a Tomato. The like berries. grains and meat but not to big on veggies
