what type of animals do you see on your course?

i usually see red tailed hawks, and the occasional deer. last year a buddy and me were walking off the a tee box and i happened to look over in the woods which were only 100 feet thick before someone's back yard started, and we saw the biggest buck with around 12 points laying down in the woods. he was huge! we made a noise and he looked right at us. it was quite impressive to be so close to him. we were 35 feet or so away from him. i have seen plenty of turkeys and a coyote one time.

Well the animal I see the most is the squirrel. They're always running around the course. I also see a lot geese , ducks, and other kinds of birds, also turtles lots and lots of turtles. Like twntywunz I've seen my fair share of deer. The oddest animals I've seen have been....a snapping turtle that for some reason was sitting on a tee box and wasn't very happy . Just this last weekend I saw a baby fox on the course.

Besides the usual squirrels, ducks, geese and rabbits. At my home course we have a nesting couple of Bald Eagles. They are pretty majestic looking, but I was shocked by the high pitch in their voices. We also have some blue heron on one of the ponds. They look like something out of Jurassic Park when they are flying around.

a lot of birds... ducks, mina birds, red-crested cardinals, zebra doves and those little java sparrows, and some white birds, I don't know what they are though, I see a lot of them everyday in the trees at the 8th hole. I always see a night heron on the 15th hole stalking some fish...
I saw some wild pigs at Pali once, that was weird. And there are mongoose at every course I've played here.

Yeah we've got the typical squirrels, deer, occasional turkeys, redtailed hawk, geese, and such. Two years ago we had a group of about 6 baby raccoons that lived on the course for a while. We never did see the mother though and without her they all ended up either disappearing or we found them dead on the course in the morning. Last year, we had 4 baby foxes that lived out there as well. As with the raccoons though, we never saw the mother and they all ended up dying. They were cute though, all the golfers enjoyed seeing them out there.

I've seen the usual squirrels, ducks, etc., but once Forged and I saw an alligator in the water at Oak Harbor. I'm sure he was welcomed to keep any balls that came his way.

I hope Forged didn't get too close!

Lots of birds...ducks, geese, bald eagles. Occasionally you'll see a deer or fox. If you're lucky a moose will wander out of the trees, and if you're unlucky it could be a black or brown bear.

back in high school when i went with some friends, we say tons of ducks, other birds, and about 50 beavers, beavers EVERYWHERE. the course was next to a river so they would come out of the river to the forest on the other side of the course for wood. lol it was funny as **** when you would see a log being pulled across the green when you were trying to aim.

Aside from the ordinary stuff(geese, squirrels, etc..) I've seen a couple of eagles & the birds with the very long legs(I'm not a bird afficiando) I thought it was some sort of water statue until I was almost on top of him and he flew off. A couple places have a lot of deer and one has a few fox.

Possibly a Great Blue Heron?



Not to be confused with Tim Herron...

...pheasants...here, there and everywhere. A decision was made last year that they can no longer be shot, so now the little fellas walk (no strut) around.... like they own the place
