I was out in the woods with Joe Wright and his son Joe Wright Junior,south of Carpenter Rd., in Guilford. The land was quite wet, and we saw many signs of wildlife. In a Hemlock stand, there was a deer kill, probably by a coyote. There were huge tasks hair.
Not far from there hemlock tree was completely denuded of its branches. There was a concentric circle of hemlock branches on the ground, surrounding the hemlock tree. We wondered, what had caused that and then noticed the porcupine scat,and just two porcupine tracks. We did find turkey scratchings on in all its blow down tree. there were several red cedar trees that were more than 12 inches in diameter. That's quite unusual for Windham County.
