More and more people can live a lifetime without actually encountering
any wildlife.


On this coast, more and more wild animals are coming back. I never saw
hawks in groups of dozen or coyotes and even bears and lot's of other
animals and I spent a lot of time in the woods and fields as a kid.
Now, coyotes are quite common all over the state of CT, I have been
face to face by the lake. Bears in in NW CT, and even Fisher Cats,

in the east are making a comback. Deer, and wild turkeys by the
score, are not uncommon in Essex, although I have not seen signs of
Fox since I have been up north, but I am sure they are still around.

I beleive hunting bans are hurting, not helping in many cases. And I
do not hunt. gut, clean, eat, sure, just don't ask me to shoot it;)


I'm apparently running a zoo here. I've got two coyotes, a huge fox and two
small ones, a skunk and some babies, a dozen deer, and a few turkeys (not
counting my neighbor across the street who's always trying to kill himself
with his extension ladder). I'm happy to have the skunks. I understand
they're fond of grubs, and better mousers than cats, something I witnessed
for the first time last week. Normally, they poke around the lawn at night,
moving maybe an inch every 30 seconds. But one night, I stepped out onto the
porch and a skunk came jetting out of nowhere, into the groundcover two feet
from the porch. I've never seen a skunk move that fast - like a cat. I just
stood real still until it left.
