Mama and the Twins

The picture on the left appears to be a doe with twin fawns.

However, if you look closely of the two fawns one is larger than the other.

I wonder what the explanation might be?

Scouting

With all of the deer movement along this trail the dogs and I moved this bow blind to a spot where a patient hunter might just be able to arrow a deer.

We'll let it set for a spell and give the critters sometime to get used to it.

Deer Trail

Deer moving along the trail.  Same camera - two pictures taken four minutes apart.  Same deer?

Man vs. Mouse

The other day Lawyer commented upon how nice the machine shed smelled.  It smells of dryer sheets.

In my continuing battle with the mice that infest my boat every winter I'm trying out an idea I heard from someone else.

I scattered some very pungent dryer sheets all throughout the boat along with some mouse traps for good measure.

I'm told that mice don't like the smell and will not take up residence in a vessel filled with them.

The Frau thinks they're simply going to use them to build elaborate nests.

We'll see.

For sure I'll have the best smelling boat on the water.

Young Buck

Two and a half year old buck I figure.

First time I've seen this guy?

The rut should be kicking-in soon and more males will be dispersing.

Smile For TheTrail Camera

Plenty deer stopping to have their picture taken.

Is there something about the infrared flash that has caught the  attention of this doe and fawn?

I wonder.
