Excellent picture... it is something how power equipment does not seem to spook wildlife. I have a friend who is a logger and he tells of one winter when they were cutting cedar, balsam, and spruce the snow was rather deep... They had skidders running, and chainsaws going, yet deer were standing around the outside edge of the cutting, waiting for their chance at the cedar branches.

He said you would come back the next day and the snow was just trampled and the branches from the cedar stripped. I even go out in hard winters and drop a few cedar trees on the property. In the spring you can bring them in for wood and you seldom have any green needles left on them.

He also tells about a black bear that followed him around for most of the day while he was cutting trees with a power saw. The bear kept its distance mind you, but was not afraid of him and the saw. You almost wonder if the animals are curious or just think there might be some food left open for them to find....
