Animals I've encountered:
In my field
- deer
- turkey
- field mice
- cattle (but my dad put them there, so I don't think they count)
In the woods
- deer
- turkey
- coyote
- squirrels
- chipmunks
- birds
In my yard
- cattle (sometimes they escape, and when the ground is soft after a rain, their hooves make a terrible mess)
- opossum
- moles
- shrews
- armadillos
- birds
And today: A groundhog!
I've never seen a groundhog around here before. I've actually only seen a very few groundhogs in our part of the Ozarks. I just couldn't believe there was one in my yard! To be quite precise, it is living under my house! I opened my curtains this morning only to see him walking on my sidewalk. I quickly grabbed my camera and got this picture (through the window, so it's not of a very high quality).What next!?!?!

I googled "small ticks" to find out what kind of ticks I am dealing with in my house and I found your blog while researching. Also living in the country, I just had to ask you why raccoons arent on your list of animals I cant believe you have never encountered raccoons.
Oh, Sarah... Not only have I encountered raccoons, I had a big boar coon getting into my house on a regular basis to eat my cat's food a few years ago. I'm not sure how I forgot to mention that in this post. I must have blocked it from my memory! It was a two week adventure trying to get rid of him (and his mate) I actually have video footage of it while it was eating cat food in my kitchen...with ALL the lights on. I'm pretty sure there is a post about the whole incident somewhere on here. It's quite the story!
currently I have an Opossum getting into the house.
