Possums aren't usually out that early. It wasn't at all interested in me, just continued trucking on across the pasture toward some bushes along the fence line. But honestly? The fact that it wasn't interested in me isn't that reassuring. Not sure how good their daytime vision is, but it should have been able to smell me given that I was upwind, and at very least hear me since I wasn't trying to be silent crunching along the gravel.
I'm very thankful all the critters have had their rabies shots. No sign of it anywhere today at least. Not thrilled about having possums around anyway given the whole EPM carrying business...
Yesterday must have been wildlife day, because the turkeys were out and about, as well. I've been hearing them almost daily and seeing tracks, but I haven't gotten close enough for a good shot.

Definitely a little creepy! Those are just strange looking animals.
We are seeing a lot of turkeys out and about now too. They seem to be everywhere and pheasants..
Aren't they? Definitely something meant to live in the dark!
Not seeing too many pheasants here - it was too dry for them last summer, apparently. Hunting profits really took a hit, or so I'm told...
