I also live in the "boonies" and a lot of deer graze in my back yard. We have turkeys in open fields also. Nature is our gift from God. How beautiful is that? You have some great pictures.

When I look at your beauty, I feel like I almost live in a desert. I do live in a dry arid place that is worse now than usual because of the drought. Thank you for sharing. Jo

Great pictures. Michigan is having a problem with a blood disease that is killing a lot of deer.

These are the Elk originally imported to the USA by President Roosevelt, so called ROOSEVELT ELK. Hope it downloads and everyone will enjoy seeing the pic. It was taken 4 miles from our home at a state and national park.

watermelon shell-they break off pieces and eat it.

Thanks for the pictures. Sadly, our tree that the turkeys spent the night on last summer lost the branch they used. Now they are using the tree across the street, and we don't see them at dusk any more.

What a wonderful "back yard" you have and thank you for sharing the lovely pictures. We envy you, at least I do!

Thanks for sharing. They are great. We also have turkeys in our yard, but we are not exactly in the country. We live in a small retirement community which used to be pretty rural, but is now surrounded by new developments of mostly empty new homes in one community and another that they are building even though the community next door (same builder) is a ghost town. Because of the rampant building (according to the county commissioers that means jobs), the wild critters are loosing their homes. We have had trouble with wild hogs who feed either on the roots of grass or grubs that feed on the roots so they did up yards viscously. I like the critters, I just feel sorry for the reason we have them.
