That's pretty cool Larry!

You always get that amount of snow there in the winter time?

 

[LMichaels]

I just love those little critters. I'm hoping they stick around and help get rid of Alvin and his little gang. Most cannot fathom how much I hate chipmunks. If they weren't so destructive to my property I'd tolerate them. But I am out there offing them any way I can

What about dogs or cats. Anything to chase them off?

This one is a little weird but lately it seems we'll get little bits of it between October and January and then starting mid Feb to late April is now when we seem to get "slammed". IDK where the photos are but I have pictures of my daughter and Blake making snowmen in the back yard in May!

Wow. Hopefully spring kicks in soon.

There are a few feral or stray cats around. Neighbors have dogs here and there. We also will see coyotes as well. And our DNR has confirmed we have 5 or 5 active bands of wolves in Cherry Valley as well/ And hawks (red tail and Cooper's) sometimes even bald eagles

I have a lot of squirrels and rabbits in Washington. My back fence is backed up against protected wetlands wooded forest. Also coyotes in there howling at night. The rabbits keep my grass down I don't notice the squirrel's doing much of anything other than running across my fence all day long.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Here is a squirrel I caught in action

 

[LMichaels]

Oh, yeah we're filthy with tree rats. Our big oaks are loaded with droops. If I wanted to eat them a good pellet gun could likely keep me in chicken of the trees year round for the rest of my days and never go hungry

I feel the same way about chipmunks and I hate squirrels even more!

 

[Josh Dekubber]

What do they do?

 

[LMichaels]

The tree rats don't bother me much because they've not been destructive to the house. Alvin and the gang however have cost me thousands in damages. And my mission is to eradicate

 

[JKalchik]

Predators only come around if there is a food supply. If that fox feeds itself, it'll hang around, and probably address the Alvin issue.

 

[LMichaels]

It's not like there is any shortage of Alvins here. The place is filthy with the little bastahds

Thankfully, we don’t have chipmunks around here, squirrels are bad enough. We do have fox, caught these critters on my trail cam a few weeks ago that I have mounted on the outside of my fence. One side of our property borders wooded area, it’s amazing what goes on at night.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

At my place in AZ. I have javelina wild pigs that like to chew on my cactus . They better be ware of owner lol. They may end up on my grill.

That's some pretty impressive wildlife.

Back home in MI where I grew up, we always liked to see small predators like foxes and the occasional coyotes, as they'd keep the small rodent population down (orchard damage.) There has been the occasional badger, though.....

Slight side note, at least 1 wild cougar cub has been spotted up in MI's Ontonagon County, first confirmed sighting in a very long time.
