I feel very lucky. I'm at the tip of a 6-acre peninsula on the river with 1/4 mile of totally natural shoreline - heavy overgrowth - so there's no easy access from the water. The one lane dirt road coming into the property is gated, and the nearest "neighbors" (I don't even know their last names) are in some campers and trailers across the river and in a different county. No one lives there year-round.Sounds like paradise to me!
Because I don't hunt on these 6 acres, one half to a dozen or more deer graze in the yard most evenings. They will even go under the front porch to pick up pears that fall off the trees. During winter they will bed down at night among the huge hardwoods all around the cabin. They know my chained watch dogs and TK2000's keep predators away.
Coons, opossum, fox, beaver, egrets, cranes, kingfishers, bald eagles and waterfowl of all kinds are constant visitors. An entire flock of vultures roost 70'-100' up on either side the 1/8-mile driveway, because no vehicles ever pass there at night.
Thanks for listening to my ramble, and thanks even more for all the info, ideas and great advice on deliveries.
