Abstract:

In this article the author discusses what decoys to use depending on the season. The types of decoys talked about by the author are for turkey hunting. The author discusses using three feeding hen decoys in early spring. The author states that this represents a content flock because if the decoys was upright it would be perceived as the flock is alarmed. In mid-spring the author recommends using smaller number of decoys because this is around the time flock break up. The author states that in late spring that hens are nesting and hunters should use hen decoys but also have a Jake and strutter, male decoys, because a male would react to them because it will be seen as competition.

Stanton, Sean

Abstract:

Sean Stanton explains that feeding animals can create an unfeasible and unhealthy population for wildlife for several reasons. The primary reasons involve conflict between the surrounding wildlife and people, increased competition due to overpopulation, and a tasty, yet, unhealthy alternative to their natural diets.

Abstract:

Color is an important element in designing a wildlife garden. Humans have a preference for a particular color and so does wildlife. Winged creatures--birds and insects--will visit the garden looking for their favorite color and they will also visit other colors. Yoest lists several colors--red, white, purple, yellow--plants having these colors and what wildlife is attracted to them.

Abstract:

By making some changes in the backyard, homeowners can create wildlife habitats. Adding water will attract many creatures. A birdbath is the simplest way. Reduce lawn size and add more trees, flowers, and shrubs. Put out bird feeders and boxes. Stack logs and rocks to provide nesting places. Control the cat, so that attracted wildlife will not feed the family pet.
