I’m feeling we don’t have enough critters here now. Coyotes we do have, though. They sit and howl about half a block away from us, on the edge of our hamlet. I have to admit, I love when the baby coyotes join in!

We used to have a cabin about 9 hours north of here, nwhere it’s still pretty wild. Lots of crown land. The cabin sits in the Montreal Rover, near the Quebec border and across the river it’s completely undeveloped. So lots of deer, moose, bears and beavers. Lots of foxes, bunnies, squirrels and chippers too. We’d get loons, geese and ducks on the lake and wild partridge on the driveway, with a few pheasant thrown in. I miss it! My brother-in-law managed to cheat his three brothers out of their shares. He “bought us out” for a fraction of what it was worth and “forgot” we’d invested in the property, making improvements. He threw out a bunch of the stuff we’d bought to use at the place and kept pretty much what he liked. My hubby and I used to spend the most time of anyone up there - his brother only goes for a week each year, while we’d be up about 5 or 6 times a year for extended weekends. Primitive - we’d take drinking water with us and I cooked on the Quebec heater or over a fire - but we enjoyed it!!

Yes Salt, prairie chickens are real!!
