Not Much Action

I was surprised at the lack of action over the weekend. Only a few videos of deer and no other animals. The hunters must have kept all the animals hunkered down. Anyway, I posted the pictures to Flickr and you can take a look. One of the deer may have been wounded, you can only see the left side of it's body but looks like it is panting or coughing and may have blood on it's belly. No hunters chasing it showed up on the camera. I looked around my property but did not see it anywhere.

Shotgun Season

This weekend is shotgun season so I am staying out of the woods for the weekend.  I see and hear a lot of activity out there and hope the hunters are getting a good harvest.  I enjoy shooting but I am not a hunter.  I understand and know the need for hunting and support it.  However, I get more pleasure out of "shooting" game with a game camera. It is exciting harvesting the SD cards from my cameras and going through the pictures and videos to see what new creatures are out there.  The camera has been shooting all weekend so I hope to post some interesting shots soon.

Coyotes!

I'm amazed how much wildlife activity is going on just a few hundred feet from my house!  I usually hear coyotes howling and yipping several nights a week but never see them.  These two videos show some live night action.



This video shows a coyote snooping around a treed raccoon.
