Game Cameras in the Late Winter and Early Spring

It’s been a while since I’ve post­ed any of the game cam­era pic­tures. Even when we are ignor­ing them they sit in the woods and on the dri­ve­way and qui­et­ly go about their busi­ness. Most­ly we get shots of deer. A few of which have iden­ti­fi­able traits. There’s Torn Ear. and one that I call Short Neck. …

More from the Game Cameras

June was a bad month for game cam­eras. One of the Brown­ings died — no idea why. And the replace­ment Bush­nells are tak­ing some time to get set up the way we want them. Still there were a cou­ple of inter­est­ing sight­ings and good pic­tures. Things we see dur­ing the day: We’ve seen both the res­i­dent does —  skinny …

Game Cameras Early Fall 2016

or… What’s Doing on the Farm We’ve had a bit of a fail. One of the cam­eras was hors de com­bat due to a mis-for­­mat­ed card. The cam­era locat­ed in the sep­tic field took no pic­tures dur­ing Sep­tem­ber and Octo­ber. Mean­while — here’s what’s been doing on the pas­ture road and dri­ve­way at the begin­ning of fall. Our bear …

Wildlife on the Farm — April 2017

The first real month of spring — as evi­denced by the vis­i­tor in our first pic­ture. The robins are back and hop­ping around the pas­ture look­ing for worms. This fel­low was look­ing to land on the fence post that the cam­era is mount­ed on. And they coy­otes are show­ing them­selves reg­u­lar­ly both at night and dur­ing the day. The …

What We Saw in the Woods in July

First up we have the bear. He’s been seen a lot late­ly — includ­ing destroy­ing some of the neigh­bor’s bird feed­ers. In this pic­ture I can’t be entire­ly sure that it’s our bear and not a small­er one. The scale is hard to judge. Next we have a cou­ple of the coy­ote. Sin­gles only this time. Not sure …

What’s in the Woods in August

It’s been a hot, dry August. And the crea­tures are very active in the woods.   The coy­otes are stick­ing to the path at the bot­tom of the pas­ture. Oops, that’s not a coy­ote. Ollie on the move. The deer have been scarce. This is one of the few pic­tures I’ve got­ten. She looks well fed, but …

Game Cameras — Highlights September

The month start­ed with some real­ly love­ly sum­mer weath­er. The deer are appear­ing; some look­ing bet­ter than oth­ers. There’s still one speck­led fawn — but there isn’t a decent pic­ture of him/her. The coy­otes are still around. Noth­ing of them on the dri­ve­way this month. But they made the oth­er two cam­eras.  Only one bear sight­ing. I’m …
