What are you feeding in that kettle/tripod out in the field? Is it for deer or birds?
 
Sadly no. I wish I could see snow owls in person. Though I've seen snow geese every once in a while. There's usually at least a pair to two pairs in every four flocks of Canadian Geese I see. There's a flock Mute and Black Swans just north of me. If I get a photo I will post it
 
A few weeks ago my dad took a friend of ours hunting and he got a deer. He cleaned it in our barn then put the hide and everything somewhere out back. Recently I found scraps of the deer right near the bird pen. I figure it is the coyotes. I don't worry about them getting my peafowl. We have foxes around here too but I only worry about the big raccoons. It was a bit scary when I heard a coyote calling in the daytime really close by. it sounded like it came from behind the barn so I got a knife and walked back there and saw a coyote by the woods looking at me and then it ran off. The coyotes here are said to have some red wolf blood. Old acounts of Florida say that we once had a black breed of wolf, mountain lions, woodland bison, etc. Pretty interesting to think about how wild it once was.
