Say it...

Gnarls.

I have, I will, I do, even in times where it is considered "politically incorrect". Whatever that means.

I love my country and what it stands for! But the stupid people gotta go!

I don't understand.

In the woods, away from my yard where they destroy nearly everything I plant, they are fine. In my back yard deer are vermin, destructive rats. What's more is if it's not something they like to eat they uproot it and it dies.

They mow my strawberry plants down pretty regular

Don't mind sharing, but if they take a couple of tomatos and a squash then uproot ALL of the plants in the garden they need to go. And persistant! 3 fences they have to get through or over, 3.

I need to get a big freezer.

deucie,

If suddenly there was a world-wide catastrophic event and I had only 2 choices to live - one with only humans and the other with only animals, I'd definitely pick living with animals.

If you don't like living with wild animal life, then move into a condo in the city.

Thinking that a little young deer is a rat is pathetically malevolent.

About 15 years ago I had some close friends. They moved from the city to a beautiful property in the desert right under the Superstition Mountains.

Soon he planted things around his house. The desert animals came to eat them. He decided to trap and kill the little ground squirrels.

But that wasn't enough. Then he started shooting and killing every animal within a 25-yard distance from his house.

In one final visit to his home, he showed me the traps and his rifle. I asked him if did not like living in the open desert with the desert animals, why did he buy a house in the desert?

I told him I would plant things that the animals liked and enjoy watching them eat it. Desert life for animals can be very harsh.

Needless to say, our friendship and relationship ended very abruptly.

Gnarls.

I have no fencing, other then my 2 veggie gardens, single 6ft fence, never had a problem. I feel like im living amongst the wildlife. They definitely have more of them then people where I'm at. On any given day there may be 50 turkeys, 10 deer, and a few rabbits wondering around. Most my neighbors have livestock of some sort. So food is easily available if I'm hungry. My closest neighbor has expressed a dislike for the deer. He put a secondary fence, approx 4 feet behind his original fence. Hasn't had a deer for 2, going on 3 years in his property. ( 20 acres).

Never had issues with wildlife before I bought this place. These rats seem to have some homing program to this yard. The neighbors have a lot of the same plants I have here, BUT, for some reason the rats prefer to traverse my obstacle course to destroy my yard while the neighbors don't even have a fence.

Cougar piss doesn't do anything other than make my yard smell bad.

ike I said, in MY yard......

The Cryptoblepharus egeriae, more commonly known as the Christmas Island Blue-Tailed Skink, once inhabited Christmas Island. The Christmas Island Blue-Tailed Skink was discovered in 1886.

The critically endangered blue-tailed skink became virtually extinct back in 2009, but a breeding program run by Parks Australia and Taronga Zoo has seen their numbers swell to about 1,500.

They are everywhere here. I'll run across 6 or 7 in a given week.

I saw what I believe is one of these: Blue Headed Agama

I have never seen any lizard like that here in Arizona, and I have spent lots and lots of time out in the desert.

I believe it was probably an escaped pet, as this lizard is from Southern Africa.

It was about 12 t0 14 inch long and the color was brilliant.
