Old Location As Predictable As Ever

The camera that hasn't budged from it's present location for a couple of years is as predictable as ever.

Deer and turkeys moving through here naturally on virtually a daily basis.

Including mama and last year's fawn.

The little one seems awful little for a yearling.  Must have been a late-bred situation.

Amazing the number of deer that are moving through this trail.  Thirty nine pictures over the space of six days.

Sure, many were duplicate shots of the same whitetails.  Nevertheless, that's plenty of critters.

Including this (yearling?) buck mugging for the camera.

It's going to be fun watching his antlers grow.

Kayak Season

As predictable as the blooming of spring daffodils, lilacs and apple blossoms is the appearance of kayaks on the roof of a vehicle running down the highway.

I haven't seen a single kayak on the water yet but there seem to be plenty of them racking-up the highway miles...

Rats

If I were a betting man I'd bet that a muskrat is building a home in my pond.

I have no other explanation for this unnatural structure.

The camera misses very little.  Deer movement patterns are not only during dawn, dusk and mid day. 

Deer are also moving through this location during we wee hours.

The weekend before last Girlfriend and I situated one of the trail cameras on a very worn deer trail.

Plenty of traffic at this location.

Interesting to note deer movement during mid day hours too.

Turkey Wing

The turkey wing is a strange talisman.

The deer have given it a wide birth.

This is useful information if I want to repel vampires or zombies.  Dead turkey wings might do the trick.

Not so much for Labrador retrievers.
