Fearing vandalism I have not taken taken any pictures for a couple of years now and the salt lick is long gone, although I often think of hauling another one back there for the deer that pass by. I was advised by the game department not to leave apples on the ground as although the deer love them they could attract coyotes who sometimes eat fruit and and the rodents who are attracted to them. A human fed coyote is a dangerous one as they lose the fear of humans.
With all of the construction that has been taking place a lot of wildlife habitat has been destroyed in pierce county thus concentrating wildlife into smaller areas.
A number of years ago I sent for a package from the game department that gave me a couple of signs to post and taught me how to manage the wildlife on my property building nesting boxes bat houses ect, Don't know if they still have the program I believe it was called the Backyard wildlife program.
Being a Hunter and Fisherman my whole life, the diversity of the wildlife on my property gives me a small scale opportunity to enjoy at home what I have enjoyed my whole life.
When we have a wet winter the pasture sometimes floods bringing in the ducks and geese that attracts the bald eagles who go after the ducklings in the spring and our resdent redtail hawk who is always after the squirrels and rabbits. Over the years I have seen lots of things that most people who are not hunters or accustomed to the outdoors would not even notice. One year I sat still for an hour watching a weasel clean out a nest of mallard chicks next to my neighbors shed. It pays to slow down relax and notice small things unlike the fast paced world we live in.
