Had a visitor... *update

Post by _woods »

I've been watching the weather very closely for the past week, hoping that the cool down, and chance for snow would get the larger bucks active.
Things have been extremely slow around here with just a few does and small bucks making the usual rounds.

Braved the flurries this morning to check the camera, and found this...

Yes. About 50:50 any time it dips below 40 degrees. Have no idea why... Also run in to issues with it not taking photos in sub freezing temps.

It's a cheap cam that has done its job well over the past few years, but it's about due for retirement.

7:20 this morning. Came cruising though, nose to the ground, hot on the trail of something. Took all I could do to get him to stop long enough for a shot.
