@TomEverson10 There is no mistaking that sign. Great photo Tom! Yes they are in a large stretch of the Menomonee River.

@TomEverson10 Tom that is the beautiful thing about the print product…people find multiple uses for it! Here’s hoping the little guy also becomes a reader like you!

@TomEverson10 Funny Tom. Be wary of Photoshop.

@TomEverson10 Great sighting and video. A predator doing its thing. Thanks for sharing.

White-tailed deer are impressive leapers. Take a look at the length and height this young buck covered trying to clear vehicles in a driveway:

Oh, deer! 🛻🦌

A man pulls up to a house to purchase a truck "as long as the body is as nice as it looks in the pictures."

As the man approaches the driveway, a deer leaps into the truck bed, smashing into the side and denting the vehicle. 🥴

@joethomas73 @Browns So sorry to hear this Joe. May the memories of better times help you and your family as you deal with the loss. Dogs are simply wonderful.

@TomEverson10 The city doesn’t but bowhunting is legal on private property in some suburban areas and under certain circumstances.

[Paul Smith @mjsps]

@TomEverson10 Hi Tom, yes, I observed bald eagles in 2022 in Brookfield and Wauwatosa. Maybe a nesting site this year? Let’s keep our eyes open and give them plenty of space.

[Paul Smith @mjsps]

@MinnWildlife Can you provide a link to the document that includes this mortality graph? It’s labeled Wisconsin mortality but includes hundreds attributed to mountain lions and grizzly bears. Clearly there’s an error somewhere.
