For the past 3 weeks, he comes out of his den and lays at the entrance.
He's got a hole dug into the dirt in a wide open field. He's a big sunofagun. Guessing over 500#. I may try to get up close and take a pic one of these days?

They have been tearing down bird feeders for a couple weeks around here. Got my wife's feeders last week.
