Found this last night:

And later at night I found this scumbag:

Dunno what they are called in english, but if I translate from swedish, it's called "murder snail". Hard to kill. You can put a can with beer in the garden, and the snail drown in the beer. They're like humans, to much beer kills you.....

Oh, and I also saw 2 badgers last night. Didn't had my camera with me at moment though..

about 3 weeks ago I was walking down a pretty wooded street from the store.. and there were 3 deer walking parallel to me.. about 40 feet back. They were all female so I was pretty scared about where the hell the male was that protects them..

was too scared to take a picture as well for fear he's come out of no where and knock me over.

haha

it was very cool tho

That's a slug! The mother of them all by the look of it... They're not too fond of salt, good way of saving your beer if you catch my drift :evil4:

You have badgers? Holy crap. They can be pretty nasty so don't piss them off. Luckily we have a fence in the backyard, so only birds, squirrels, and chipmunks to eat our plants there, but either deer or bunny rabbits ate our flowers in the front yard. :cry: So they're only our garden friends in the ironic sense. :nono: I do have a picture of a squirrel sunning himself on our deck though. Looks like all he needs is singlasses and a piña colada. :)

Yep, badgers are very common here. But this is the first time I saw them in the gardem. Use to see them when they got run over by a car on the highroad.

I friend of mine run over one some years ago. He stoped the car to see what he had hit. The badger wasn't dead, only injured. He took a big stone to kill it, and told me that it wasn't very easy. Badgers seems to be very hard to kill..

Oooh, don't think I could actually do that?? Do they pop or anything??

Maybe you could take photos of a 'murder snail' before and after salt treatment :evil4:

Living on 48 acres of wooded lands, means that I get deer, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, turtles, etc in my back yard.

I have had the deer as close as 8 feet from the back of the house, driving my two dogs crazy anytime they see them through the window.
