I have a den site near where my tree stand is and I noticed through the last couple of years that there are usually about 2 litters a year that come out of that den. I don't know if that is normal or not but, it puts alot of dogs in the woods.

I have had them barking and growling at me when I was in my stand from just over the ridge and have had them follow me out of the woods just to see what i was before. Most of the time when they realize you're there they take of like a bat out of hell.

There are alot of them but they are nice to see in the woods and they're a blast to hunt.
