Several coyotes that have started to make a home in the wooded area and field behind where I live. They have been starting to coming into the neighborhood Arbor Ridge at all different times. My neighbor had an encounter with one while walking her dog. It wasn’t scared of her and became very territorial. Usually coyotes in this area move on but never have seen them so consistently in the area I live especially leaving the field and coming into our neighborhood. There a lot of elderly folks with dogs and this could become dangerous if no one intervenes.
Coyotes seen several times in our neighborhood recently. The picture included is in the field behind our neighborhood but we have also seen them in my back yard. They approached me and my dog about a week and a half ago. We are usually seeing them at dusk and dawn.
I was walking my dog this morning when we noticed a deer ahead in the road, several hundred feet away. So we stopped and turned around to go the other way. I looked back after turning and realized it was aggressively running at us. Fortunately I am young and am able to run. But others in my neighborhood may not be so fortunate. This is completely unacceptable. I know that this is likely a doe protecting a fawn nearby, but I find this unacceptable as a citizen trying to use a public road to walk. It’s outrageous. Had I not seen it running at us it could have attacked and killed my dog, as they have been known to do, or attacked me.
There is a dead deer near the sidewalk along Moores Pike.
Dead deer near Moores Pike sidewalk. First seen and reported last Friday. 5 days in the heat and getting ripe.
Daddy personal living here has not mowed or cared for their lawn in an extended period of time. There are now two fawn who have taken up residence in the backyard. They are unable to leave the area because they are too small to jump over the fence. The backyard is becoming a literal deer sanctuary.
Two of these animals are living under our shed. They are beginning to chop away at the wood and foundation.
At 7am this morning, a racoon was eating the cat food we put out on our front porch. This has happened a couple of times in the past, but this racoon was acting different, staying in broad daylight and not running away when I yelled at it. Instead, it hissed at me.
Hi Folks...a buck with a wounded (broken?) back right leg in the Winslow Farm area of Bloomington. He can hop with a little pressure on it. Not sure if anything can be done, just feel sorry for the fella. Thank you.
