Alarm!

More often than not if someone is walking in the woods they have no idea that the crunch of a foot on the frozen turf, the snap of a twig or the cow bells fitted on the e-collars the dogs wear are going to startle some critter as they are alerted to your presence.

By the time you show-up the critters are gone!  It's like you never even knew they were there as they have vamoosed.

The two pictures below were captured just moments before someone else showed-up.  

In this one a hunter was walking to his deer stand.  

And in this one (taken yesterday) the dogs and I were making a circuit of swapping out batteries and SD cards on the four trail cameras.

None of us had a clue that there were deer there just a moment before.

Cleaning-up a pile of photos that have been collecting on the laptop - including a rather sizable selection of the deer camp guys mugging for the trail cameras.

Here's a handful of photos.  Some deliberately taken and others on the sly...

Someone did this.

If the bullet hits a tree...

The deer will go free.
