We usually see deer and other wildlife in the context of hunting, being in the woods, mountains, etc. Thought it might be fun to see some unusual pics. This photo, taken by my neighbor, is what inpsired me to post this thread.

Have actually saved and filed a lot unique whitetail photos over the years, and most of them I obtained from here or over on Bowsite...
Not sure the accuracy of attached photo, but best info I could find on it was - late winter 2008 near Jackman ME... If somebody recognizes it has better and/or more accurate info, please inform...

Short story long - A few years ago, I took my wife to Vermont where I was raised. She asked if we could show the kids a bear. I told her that was a tall order as I had deer hunted all my life and only had seen 4 or 5 bear. The next day in mid-July, I had a bear run across the road in front the van at noon so closely that I had to break hard to miss it. That evening on the way to dinner, she remarked that she had never seen a moose and wouldn't that be cool. Again, I told her the chances were very low. As you might have guessed by now, I looked out the restaurant window into the back 40 and was able to show her a cow moose grazing in a field before we had placed our dinner order. In the fall of 2017 she was complaining about all the grey squirrels in our yard and I told her that the Redtail Hawk out back would be sure to get a few for her. She asked if I could get a photo which I again told her was not likely. Turned out that I built an antler trap in the back yard after hunting season that year. The first photo I harvested was this not so clear picture of that Redtail hawk landing on one of these grey squirrels who was busy eating corn. As a result, my wife still thinks making game appear is as easy as "just add water and stir".

This is no pulitzer by any means, but I just filled the bird feeder for the first time this year, yesterday afternoon.
Next day............
How DO they do that? So fast? Lol. Between the deer & the squirrels every winter, the birds gotta wait their turn. Seed will be scattered all over in a few days, and the surrounding area will be covered in critters furred and reathered.

Filed a bunch of piebald photos through the years... This photo I took of a piebald fawn I actually ran down and caught on foot when I was around 18 or 19, and living in my first apartment, a garage apartment, $80 a month, ya never forget your first apartment...... Why I mentioned the apartment because of the putrid carpet and my age because I couldn't have caught him now a days...8^)
The fawn had short stubby legs like the one in Two-more-steps photo which are common with piebald along with Roman noses...

Speaking of flying squirrels, my backyard trail cam happen to catch this one in flight... Feeding year round, have them around year round... Have even had them run up my pant legs, and my coat sleeve while on stand and once while just walking in the back yard at night on hit me atop my head... Talk about a surprise, something hit you up top the head in the dark in the middle of the night will get your attention...8^)

Yahooty, the bedded muley buck in "Burns" with the "boat" behind it makes me laugh. For those of you who haven't been through Burns, Oregon, it is in the middle of the nowhere eastern Oregon desert! And if the pirate ship is for real, that's really funny. Just to tell how far back in time Burns may be (and maybe for the good!) it is the only place I have eaten, when passing through as a kid, that had a mounted vulture with its wings spread above tables at the cafe! That was rather classic.

barebow - I'm pretty familiar with flying squirrels, had them as pets years ago, so the ones around my treestands that touches me, wasn't so surprising because I was seeing and hearing them scurrying around me so was aware they were in trees around me... They live in colonies so there is usually more than one... Now the one that hit me in the head out in the open of the yard during the middle of the night this summer kind freaked me... Never seen or heard it coming... First thought was bat, and oh no will need rabies shots... After I got myself together, I stopped and stood there looking and listening... Then heard it scurrying around and chirping in a nearby tree... It didn't draw blood, but it kinda hurt... It was more of a shock factor though...

One more. This deer got its back legs caught in a fallen osage tree. There was a layer of ice and snow on the ground for a couple of weeks. This was on a hillside. I could see where it struggled to fee itself. I guess it couldn't get enough traction on the ice with its front legs. What a terrible way to go.

Did Buzzards nest in a barn? I take it they're Black Vultures because of the black faces... Turkey Buzzards (Vultures) we have here have red heads... My dad once came across a Turkey Vulture nest on a rock outcropping, in a big hollow... Said it was one egg setting on a rock...

Zbone, That is my niece. I think it was all she could do to not pick up that fawn and cuddle with it.
There are some old barns on the property where I work. The buzzards lay eggs in the hay lofts. They don't really build a nest. They just lay a few eggs on the hay. I've watched them go from eggs to full grown. The white fluffy babies in that picture were hissing and coming at me. They get more skittish as they get older.

That wouldn't happen Bearfootin. That bobcat was frozen solid! My friend trapped it and had it in his freezer. He was thawing it out to skin. I couldn't pass up the photo opp.
TrapperKayak: I watched that hunt unfold. The spider slowly crept up on the fly and then pounced on it. It was cool to watch a tiny predator in action.

I'm not sure what kind of vultures they are. We have the black headed ones in SE Indiana now.
The pee sack is the first thing that thaws out on a frozen bobcat. My shirt had a distinct odor after I put that thing down.
I did have a close encounter with a momma bobcat and her kittens. They were living in the attic of a partially fallen down house. I knew something was living up there and I couldn't leave it alone until I knew what it was. I stood on a ladder and made enough noise to bring momma out. As soon as I saw what it was I left in a hurry. Probably one of the dumber things I've done in my life.

Yeah why I ask, the Blacks are expanding their range and are more aggressive than the Turkey Buzzards and we're now seeing Blacks in my area of Ohio.. Buddy had two Blacks fighting with Turkey Vultures over a dead ground behind his house this past summer...

We see a few black vultures here in CNY too, more every year. Mostly turkey vultures though. Never saw any of them when I grew up here, in the 60s and later. Not until late 90s.

My wife and I hunt pheasants in Nebraska. This time of year, there are plenty of raptors in the area and I like to keep an eye on who else is hunting our spots. LOL
We see many hawks, golden as well as bald eagles, and even some falcons. I watched a shrewd jack rabbit evade at least four dive attempts from a golden eagle last year. It was better than Wild Kingdom. I am always watching the power poles along the roadway looking for these raptors. Tuesday I spotted something on the pole from quite a distance that just didn't look right. As we got closer, my suspicions were confirmed. It looks like the left talon on this hawk somehow got caught in the power line or top of the pole. I have a lot of admiration and respect for raptors and didn't like to see this kind of ending.

Oct 13 and I'm closing up the camp in Northern VT after the first week of archery season. Loading up the car I come across this guy in the middle of the yard. It's in the low 40's, he's not moving and a long way from the wood line so I scooped him up and buried in the leaf litter. Hope he made it to where he was supposed to be before the snow came.

A pic of an Eagle nest in the crown of a big White Pine on a local stream where I chase Steelhead. You can see the mature bird sitting in the tree to give you scale of the size of the nest. They’ve used it yearly and each year they pile more on it. It’s 10 to 12 feet high now, pretty remarkable birds.

Yellowstone fires were in '88. I lived downwind on the Bighorn at Yellowtail Dam. The sun was blotted from the sky to appear as an orange orb all summer long, and the smoke was thick in the air at ground level. Probably lost some of my sense of smell that summer. Nemah, is that something left over from Gary Ridgeway's murderous exploits?

This is only interesting as most leopard photos in the Serengeti are of the cat already napping in a tree. I saw this big male out on the savanna and have the whole sequence of him walking to us and climbing a yellow acacia.

Bears are deceptive, i think most people tend to overestimate their weight. That pic looks to be of a spring bear, they weigh a lot less coming out of hibernation than they do in the fall. My guess is around 390 lbs. Sandy

I own 20 acres in Upstate NY and hunt the same land my home is on.
About 10 years ago I was out hunting and noticed a rack moving in the woods - but it was tall and didn't go forward at all. Odd rack.
Then I saw the head - looked like a miniature elk. WTH???
The body was the color of a chocolate lab but with spots.
Finally, seeing no ear tags I did kill it. And immediately called the DEC. Not many "feral" fallow deer in New York State but I found one. ALL the meat tasted like liver. VERY disappointing on the table (for us, anyway).

Zbone- that is the same piebald with and without his rack. We have a doe on my farm that has more than normal amounts of white on her legs and undersides and she is the one throwing these piebald offspring. There are more. Some marked like her and some with even more white. Kinda cool

Thanks olboy… Me thinks same thing with white stocking deer, and even though some may be normal colored from that bloodline, they carry the recessive gene for piebald/albinism and can show in future generations... When carriers of the recessive gene for albinism breed, there is a one-in-four chance they will produce and piebald/albino offspring...
Neat tree frog photo, thanks for sharing Jim...

The DEC impounded it and ran tests for tuberculosis, rabies, CWD and several other diseases. All happily negative I got the rack back and the meat back. No hide.
It turned out that a farm eight miles away had an illegal 10 or 12 Fallow deer imported, but when they were confronted there was a "fence malfunction" and they all escaped. Only two were ever reported/killed/found (one other was a bow kill the year before mine).
The farm owner was a "different" woman according to the DEC Officern (who lives five doors down on my road . . . three miles away). She was found dead sometime later from an overdose of an animal tranquilizer that the DEC says even they are forbidden from using or handling. He said she had enough on hand to kill everyone in the county.

But that day we saw probably a dozen laying eggs in the soft trail dirt. Had to google them to ID. Aw never mind, cant find the cricket pic, heres a two inch garden spider.

Set a trail cam up behind my Father in-laws place a few years back. Suburban areas with several housing developments backing up to a woodlot of about 120 acres. Township Ordinance allows no hunting in this area and it’s the home of some real dandy backyard bucks. Got this shot and thought it would make a real good screen saver until I looked a little closer. Xbow bolt through the head.

They are common around here in MA and in VT where those pics were taken. Never saw them around here when I was a kid though. And robins didn't spend the winter here back then either...their return was the classic sign of spring around here. The other day was single digits and my crabapple tree was full of robins.
I had never seen that many vultures at once and so low and close and hung around long enough to get those pics and a few more as the flock drifted away.

Yeah Krag, same here and they usually start showing up around here in late February sometimes later (depending on the winter, or weather), early March... There's a whole big deal in our area (Hinkley, Ohio) called Buzzard Day in March where birders show up to view them at certain locations, and kinda a social event that been going on for years... Supposibly goes back to when pioneering locals sometime in the 1800s had a massive hunt and the buzzards showed up for leftovers...

Zbone, There is an annual hawk and falcon watch here in central MA on top of the highest point in the area Mt Wachusett a state park with an access road and hiking trails to the open area at the top which is an ideal spot and must be a landmark the birds use. From mid Sept to 1st of Oct the birders keep a count of hawks, falcons and eagles migrating through the area heading south with up to 9000 being counted in a day.

Yeah Krag, have heard about that hawk lookout... Heard it's one of the few places to see a rare "Golden" eagle in the eastern US as they migrate up and down the eastern shore to and from Canada... If or when of these eastern Goldens ever nest in the eastern portion of the US, it'll make big news... Whole different bird than the Bald eagle, which are now fairly uncommon around here, there's actually two active nest close to my house, one less than a mile away, the other is a couple miles away the other direction... Will occasionally see one soaring from my yard...
