We had single digits this week, then up to the 40's, then back to the teens. I wasn't expecting much activity on the cameras. The shot counts were way down.
I expected more movement on the warmer days. This is 46F.
A button buck at 39F.
A girl party at 38F.
37F
24F
23F
19F
15F
Now we're getting hearty - 10F.
Some moving at 5F.
5F.
I always see a lot of in and out traffic here.
So I followed the trail in.
Found a couple beds on this knob.
I suspect this pricker and honeysuckle tangle nearby is a buck bedding area.
Still turnips in the field but it would be like eating rocks at this temperature.
Surprising amount of rubbing activity still going on.
I thought that they'd be over it by now.
Oh the joys of trail maintenance.
Looking for a place to have a 300 yard range. Most places with 300 yard line of sight don't have any backstop. This is a possibility.
Had the power company out to fix the yard light. It's been fading on and off for a couple years. Looks like they gave me a new one. I'm not sure why I expected more than wire nuts for the installation.
The bobcat - one image this week.
Red fox.
Cold doesn't bother him.
Or this grey fox. Not many coyote shots this week. I didn't bother to post the dogs.
The usual suspects - cardinals. Also get red bellied woodpeckers, junkos and sparrows.
I had this electronic mouse/rat trap in the barn. Hadn't checked it in awhile. There was a frozen desiccated mouse in there.
Great visibility into the woods.
This guy dropped (or broke) one side before Christmas.
Not much moving in the extreme cold - this is a brave (or stupid) one.
No evidence of them dropping yet.
I tried to do a temperature scale of me out walking. 23F.
23F
19F
11F
But I got out of order. 26F
19F
13F
28F - Heat Wave.
Polar Vortex event predicted for this week.
