I was sitting with my uncle in his garage one summer in Wautoma, Wisconsin on a summer day. He was sharing with me about his winter window entertainment.
He told his neighbor that he, and his kids could deer hunt on his farm all he wants. No charge at all. The only thing that he had to do was to leave the head, hide, legs and entrails on a certain spot. This certain spot was about 40 yards from his living room window. He explained that while the Wisconsin snows were blowing, he can view the entrails from his living room window.
He explained it like this: the crows find it first, as they are squawking and eating, the hawks notice it. The hawks chase off the crows to have a turn to eat. The eagles then show up. The eagles chase off the hawks to have their turn to eat.
After all of those birds are well feed, then the coyotes find it. The coyotes will eat what meat is left, plus the bones and hide. It's then all consumed. While all of this is happening over many days, my uncle is watching it all from his living room window. He says that this is his winter entertainment!
