Do you feed them year round? I usually throw some food out dec to Feb here and there. This year I tried to place the food near tight trees so it possibly knock some antlers off when they ate it but had no luck. They are comfortable with the open field to escape I guess. I feed until they stop coming. Usually they are done coming by now. Once the snow leaves its rare to see them. Then late November they start coming around again. This coming winter should be the good one since the field will be corn again. The corn scraps from harvest bring them to the field all winter. Sometimes there will be 20 or more standing out there. I'd like to get a set of sheds. I've seen the antler fences in Youtube videos and considered trying it. I have lots of temp fence here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmo Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 We hear one at night around the house. He’s been coming around once in a while for quite a few years now. Never saw him but he has a big voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hear one too in the summer late at night but like you I'm sure it's bigger than this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted April 19, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 19, 2022 Not my photo but very cool….. World’s oldest loons again return to Seney From Damon McCormick of Common Coast Research & Conservation: With Seney’s pool system finally thawing after a lingering winter, yesterday the two oldest documented Common Loons, known as ABJ and Fe (“Fay”), were confirmed as returned to the refuge. ABJ was banded during nighttime capture as a five week-old Seney chick in 1987, and thus his age is known precisely: He will turn 35 this June. In contrast, his long-term partner Fe was first color-marked in 1990 as a successful Seney mother; because the youngest age of verified Common Loon reproduction is four, Fe will be at least 36 this season. While Fe was observed yesterday on F Pool, her long-term nesting territory with ABJ, he was feeding on an adjacent impoundment. It is likely, however, that the two will shortly recouple and undertake their record 26th consecutive year as a breeding pair. If this occurs, they will be seeking to add to their lifetime productivity of 32 hatched offspring, another record for the species. Some of these past chicks have later returned to Seney as breeding adults and subsequently acquired their own nesting territories; for example, as of last season the D Pool female, known as Z4, was a 16 year-old hatched to ABJ and Fe in 2005. The ongoing success of the venerable F pair is set against a 45% decline to the broader refuge Common Loon population over the past decade, and a pattern of very poor chick productivity in recent years. While periodic outbreaks of type-E botulism on northern Lake Michigan are responsible for at least part of the decrease in the number of resident adults annually occupying Seney pools, a project by Common Coast is currently examining whether this decline may also be due to on-refuge factors. Thanks to Jen Wycoff of Visitor Services, volunteers Jim and Jody Patton, and other Seney friends for collectively confirming the Easter return of ABJ and Fe.

I’ve watched some of the videos on there of building Chrysler building and chopping red woods down etc. Those guys we’re crazy back then no safety shit at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
