Training Tale Critter Checker

A different kind of training tales. I am curious to see what kind of animal/wildlife you see on a daily basis. Racoons, Possum, rabbits are the norm. In the last couple of months I have seen a fox, and quite a few deer. The fox and deer were very interesting considering how built up this...
