Very cool stuff I find in my backyard!

[Turbo Beast]

Im located in somewhat rural Bulverde, Texas. About 20 minutes from the North side of San Antonio.
Im loving it, there's lots of wildlife here! And bugs, big bugs.

But there are lots of deer that I feed in my backyard.

I find Texas Toads when it rains for more than 5 minutes.

Non-city life is where it's at!! I live on 11 acres 30 miles SW of Cleveland OH and with woods on each side of my cleared land, I get all the local wild life roaming through. Today while cutting my back field, I saw a big Tom turkey and his hen just strolling through the north side of my property. It looked like he was standing watch as she was picking the ground for food. In the last several years, we have seen groups of wild turkeys numbering 26 to 28 at any given time. Deer traffic is real common, so much that I have to go out and sweep the back field at night with a bright flashlight for eyeballs before I let the Dobermans out to pee. We have seen a few red fox over the years and unfortunately, we have coyotes in the area.

Are you allowed to kill the Coyotes? Around here they are considered nuisances and are allowed to be killed without license.

You going to lick that toad? Don't bogart!

Same for us, I've seen foxes and coyotes too. Turkeys are crazy all around just haven't seen one in my yard yet.

I am, they are considered a pest and dangerous.

Hmm, i thought about it, but online it said they got hallucinative stuff on em. So i guess its a no-go on that.

No rabbits? No lizards? I know you've got Turkey, pigs and raccoon out there too. Any poisonous snakes yet? There's only like 4 different kinds that you're likely to find right there :)

This is the kind of life I'm used to. When I was growing up we had a massive wooded area behind my house that spanned for miles and miles. It was full of hills and creeks and all sorts of various terrain. I ventured pretty deep into those woods and scared my parents shitless a few times as a result (this was between 6-9 years old). :p I miss those days where I could just wander for hours checking out the wildlife.

The tarantula is impressive.
