Shadow's photo this week again shows him possessing and carrying a deer leg. He has had many more observations of feeding behavior when we feed deer legs or a torso, but something about competition with Malik makes him display some obsessive behavior. At this age, he can display whatever behavior he wants. We are very tolerant of old age quirks, and we modify our management plans accordingly. Shadow did eat 8 lb of chicken on Thursday morning, and while we haven't weighed him since the winter set in, he looks like he's filling out.
