Remember
this: Pay attention to everything. Don't touch that tainted cotton ball. It could be covered with something you don't want.
I
ran amuck on a Wildlife Managed area for a couple of hours. I was
bored. I asked the dog did she want to go for a ride. We clamored up
in the vehicle and mozied on down to the river. After seeing many a
thing, I drove home while the dog slept. Figures...
I
decided to cut the grass in the woods. I care for this small
acreage, which has turned into a rather nice habitat. It has a water
source and lots of plants. There is millet and other plants
there for the wild birds, quail, and deer. I clean the paths and make
soft edges. I provide bird houses in the form of gourds, sugar
boards, and whatever else I can put out. Sometimes, I see this one
turkey that skulks around on his stomach like Count Turkula. That is
the only turkey I have ever seen that will stalk the person instead
of you stalking him.
I will say, I was ecstatic that I observed some bobwhite quail tooling around down there. Big win because you don't see them often.
On
my way down to the woods, I was looking at the high grass on the edge
of the horse pasture (see above photo), which is now filled with
drying corn stalks. I looked over and saw some cotton balls pinned to
the grass. I thought, “What is this now? It is not even September.
Someone is already doing naughty stuff.” Looked like a case of
trespassing and questionable behavior.
I
called my dad. He didn't know anything about it. I broke one off
without touching the pen. It looked like someone put something yellow
on it, even though it was out in rain. There was no smell either. I have no idea how long it has
been there. From the stain, maybe a week. It kind of grossed me out
that it might be human body fluids, but I hoped it was something else.
I
guess someone is either baiting deer to come to that corner of the
fence now, or it is something to run them off. Everything is dry as a
bone. There is no gardens in the area. There is soybeans, but
the deer can walk out from anywhere to eat them. I can't imagine
why Unknown Culprit would be putting cotton balls in my dad's field. The
neighbor was watching me. I proceeded to cut the grass.
Last
deer season, I did not hunt. I watched everyone else to see what was
going on. I know what the culprits are doing. I am going to have to
walk around looking for cotton balls or tampons around this property
that has been laced with God knows what.
Now
that I have clothes pins, I should have them fingerprinted.
People
are just spiteful and bored these days. Go cook some bacon, Man, if
you want to make bad-good choices. Watch Days of Our Lives if you
want drama.
Here
I am working on a habitat for things to live in and some evil person
is trying to undermine my endeavor. I shake my head at this. When I consider the world at large these days, I am not surprised.
It is July and August will be next month. Now would be a good time to do deer stand maintenance. You might would also start looking around to see if someone is doing things on your property they shouldn't. If
someone is baiting deer in July, they have a serious problem. Where
is the game warden when you need one.
I guess it is time someone goes to jail....can't say I didn't warn them.
