Saw one this morning and about a minute later saw a larger one following. The second one whom I presume was a male did something I've never observed before, he "barked at the female" low and soft and I swear it sounded like a turkey yelp. If I had only heard it and not seen it I would have been sure it was a turkey yelping. They trotted off and I heard him a few more times. After about 5 minutes I heard the sound my dog makes when I step on her foot accidentally, one sharp quick cry and that was it. Didn't hear the male anymore. I don't know but I'm thinking maybe he caught her, did the deed, and that was that.

I love being in the woods, always something new to see and learn.
