We have mistletoe growing from lots of mesquite trees...hasn't killed any of those that I know of. I keep checking for signs of GPH on mistletoe but never have any luck...then considering how abundant it is I assume it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack :o) - evenso, how come I don't see more GPH? Hmmmm????

We also get lots of deer, feral hogs, racoons, bunnies, coyotes and other critters out here. We put up some game cameras a couple of weeks ago and this is the first time we were able to get a photo of a coyote. We know they are out there because we see gobs of tracks and can hear the howling. Uhmm...we went out at 10pm on Friday night with laptop in hand to download the camera cards. We were puttering around in the golf cart with the lights off because my brother was sitting up on the back seat with the night vision monocular. We got to see lots of deer in the dark!!! Way cool!!! Anyway, we were uploading the card from the game cam by the pond and we could hear a pack of coyotes that sounds awfully close. My SIL is reading the Twighlight series by Stephanie Meyer and she was freaking out! HA! HA! Of course, me making scary comments about vampires and werewolves didn't help. ROFL!!!

We have yet to get any feral hog photos but here's a coyote. Mind you, this is in the area where I had my 'flower bed' - will add a couple of deer photos so you can see why all the flowers disappeared!!!
