The Rut is On

Last week the Frau and I spent the better part of a day killing invasive buckthorn.

It was also a good opportunity to do some deer scouting.

Oooh baby. There is sign everywhere.

Well worn trails like the one you see below and rubs everywhere. Why is it always the tamarack and walnut trees that the bucks flail on?

We moved the trail camera to a rub and scrape line to see if we can catch a picture of the perpetrator.
