FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Denise Woods saw an unusual sight in the woods of her backyard last weekend.

She moved here from Florida a year ago and still can’t believe what she sees come out of those trees.

“The turkeys, the foxes, the raccoons. I like the deer. I see them every night. I watch them. I see them day and night,” said Woods.
