Still deer

We do still get deer through our back woods, as evidenced by pictures from the trail cam.

The raccoon kits are getting big! I pulled my trail cam photos and they are about half as big as their Momma, all six of them.

I think the number of kits explains Momma’s tail being thin and scraggly. I think I would give up and just let them play with my tail in order to get some sleep.

We have a couple of raccoon buddies hanging out in the woods. Rather than the opossums, who arrive individually and leave separately, the raccoons show up and head out together.
