To all the enviro-weenies who cry out that oil drilling hurts wildlife: I've cut deer and turkey and coyote tracks that went up to and around the fence at the base of an active pumpjack.
Couple of the leases I’ve been on have had deer on the pad. Routinely saw coyotes running within 1/4 mile of the rig, too. Had a night co man pay a landowner to hunt the lease. Stashed a bow off location and would hunt every morning. He could cook, too, and fed us several times from deer he’d killed.
