Our new "neighbor"

[synoviaus]

Ok so, I now have proof the Blueticks won't run off game. If they did I wouldn't be sleeping at night. This guy has set up residence under my back doorsteps. He has quite a den hole. The funny thing is that my sister who lives a mile away has one under her steps too. Is this just an Alabama thing or are the Dillers taking over the planet?

He's kinda cute. He reminds me of a oppossum in a armored car.

Interesting. I've never seen one that close before. Usually when I've seen them, they've been road-kill. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Well, we sure don't have them up here

. He's so shiny, he almost looks like a ceramic animal.

I have seen them up close, but gun in hand and shot them. Hole diggers and tearing up the yard is what they like to do....and they multiply quite quickly!

Cute, yes however they are a carrier of leoprosy....sorry, but I'd get rid of it...

i always thought they were slow and clumsy........... until I saw one haul butt ! They can run. I know they can swim also.... they look like they'd sink, hehe

i don't think you'd have to worry about getting an illness or everyone in the south would be sick...... wait, is that what's happened to us down here..... he he

Wow! We are also in AL. I saw one today when out walking.

By the way, I looked up what they ate..and ants, and spiders are at the top of the list. They can eat a TON of ants.
