kill spot...

[growalot]

I went down to work in the blind area...switching ladders and trimming tree limbs moving the metal ladder stand that was in front of the blind tower....

When I walked the lane way  I found a ripped apart raccoon,a skin bag from a rabbit.  parts of a squirrel and several voles...yuckkkkk needless to say maggot city and stink!...so later I return and their are 6 turkey vulture feasting....perhaps this is a good sign...by the way clover and the PT in the WW is growing like wild fire...also the local hawks are happy...they sounded off constantly as I worked...

So now I have to wonder what is doing all this killing...I went back down and turkey vulture were in the drive...a torn apart squirrel  I drive another 100 ft and a wood chuck missing it's back legs...neither were there yesterday...

I'm not sure, but it sounds like it could be alien dissections.

[growalot]

lol..... To see it one might ponder that ...I found back feet of raccoon the squirrel and the chuck gone when I went down and finished putting the deck on the blind tower...I was only here long enough to rip a piece of plywood...that didn't take long. rabbit and squirrel tails here and there...I wonder why the vultures got the majority of it.

Sounds like an old Hammer Films movie grow. Creepy.

 

Is all that normal for you to have happen? All the small game being torn up like that?

[growalot]

No ..I have never seen any thing like that actually...now the yotes and fox both have been taking up a lot of cam space...but our hawk population is wonderful...I haven't heard any owls this year...though we do get many passing through in the fall, Great horned in particular...

Huh.... now that I say that...I hope the lack of owls isn't  due to all the wind turbines to our south

[Sogaard]

Put up a cam?

[ny hunter]

Sounds like a hawk or maybe a falcon...

Be careful not to fall asleep in that tree stand.

I think you possibly live in the Twilight Zone.

I don't in all honesty know much about vultures...but wonder  seeing the squirrel and that good sized ,footless chuck disappeared so quickly... Do they or will they pick up carrion and take it to a different place to eat?... that lane way is now lush  and it is secluded and shaded.....Then again this is the first time it has had really good food in it for the animals...and it is surrounded by woods on either side easy ambush spot...it is now twice as thick than when I took that pic. a few days ago..what a good rain can do!

Yes, indeed a wolf released by the DEC to control the mountain lion abundance they released years back. Next is the release of Sasquatch's to control the wolves. A vicious cycle

aaahhhh Angels no wolf she's too small 60#'s...now if her son Dennis was in the picture...130# blk  shepherd with a medium coat... you may think that...he's twice her size.
