I'm Living in the Zoo!!!
We just made settlement on our house and we've been over there all weekend doing work. I noticed that deer use our propertybut , when I told my neighbors this they said they always called our place the zoo. We get deer, turkey, pheasant, fox, owl, rabbit, squirrel, racoon, possum and skunk on our property on a pretty regu;ar basis. Were only on a half acre in the suburbs so that's pretty cool. All the animals come from a 20-30 acre woodlot at the end of our street. The last 20 yards of our back yard is woods and we have cherry and apple trees as well as a 200 foot hedgerow full of berries. Our place is a magnet. I hope my 4 foot fence in the woods doesn't change things. Maybe some pictures to follow........

RE: I'm Living in the Zoo!!!
that sounds like a good thing .I built my home on 3 acres that are surrounded by approx 600 acres of great hunting land. I also feel like we live in a zoo. deer, turkey, raccoon, fox, bear. I do most of my hunting from my property. its nice to wake up and walk 300 yards to my tree stand.enjoy the new place.

I have to - and did already. I have two dogs and two small children. In the back it's just 4 foot wire fence. I'm sure the deer will learn to jump it.

RE: I'm Living in the Zoo!!!
The houses are too close together to hunt on my half acre. However, there is a huge chunk on unposted woods about 100 yards down the street. I believe it belongs to the school but the school is at least a quarter mile away from the woods. What's the deal with that?
