So, the best guess is the buck that was cleaning his antlers? Early summer I couldn't get rid of one particular buck. I tried EVERYTHING. Finally he left me alone, but I discovered fresh foot prints just before I found the damaged palm tree. Besides deer we have everything else around: bobcats, racoons, gators, coyotes, and even white wolf is repeatedly reported to the police
I've seen armadillos too, but the moles bother me the most so far.
...As for the link, it probably can be copied and posted, but it I do not think it means something to anyone but me. According to our traditions all unfinished business should be finished by the end of the year. So, I am busy-busy and a little stressed. I am also always hosting a New Year party.
I will post more about my crotons after the season is over
Happy New Year to you all!
