keith, this is
laugh a little........
what neil said. here in wisconsin feeding wildlife is legal but there are regulations. i guess different than in canada.
we do have trail cameras set up around our property for various reasons, but we primarily enjoy the pix we capture of all the different birds, raptors, wildlife. some critters we have never seen or never thought we had.
we don't feed any wildlife, well it depends......
we do feed the birds, other critters enjoy. no matter what i do to my huge bird feeder 10 to 12 feet off the ground, i get turkeys, raccoons and pheasants sitting in there and bears trying to climb up the post.
some other things we do, might include piling apples up that fall from the trees, or throwing some corn out in the winter for all critters. they have plenty to snack on in our gardens during summer months.....
winters are tough and i am a softie, especially for the species like grouse and pheasants that have it pretty rough here, and want to keep them prospering. we also do this by providing habitat for them. it's all about land management for us and we enjoy the critters.
EDIT AND ADD:
raccoons, even though many despise them or because they can be problems are incredibly smart and very adept creatures. i have raised many raccoons from babies and am simply amazed at what they are capable of good and bad.
