During the 18th century, Ogletown's mountains were an important destination for Native Americans. Hunting camps were scattered throughout the many valleys. White-tailed deer were the favorite prey, but bear and turkey were numerous as well. Red wolves were so common that the early Bedford County commissioners paid a bounty for their hides. Today deer, bear and turkey remain in significant numbers, but a smaller, clever red wolf/coyote hybrid has replaced the original wolf population. |
