Wile E paid me a visit this morning.

...they just seem to wonder around except when a steady food source is located. Not sure if they can be patterned.

That's what I always figured too. I've since been told that trappers will use snares to target holes in fences that have seen regular use. Which leads me to believe that they might have a home range that they patrol.....and maybe regular route of use.

In the past a neighbor has mentioned hearing them...another has used mechanical calls, late one night....to no effect. I figure at least one has been around for a while and I had just never seen it. Now that I have....I think back to how the turkey being seen has lessened...not the deer though..the rabbit are being kept in check....I figured that was foxes.

Maybe I'm worrying for nothing.
