Doe and Fawns

After a week of miserable weather we finally had a beautiful day today. I took advantage of it and zeroed in a new scope I put on my muzzleloader and rechecked the zero on my rifle. After that chore it was off to check my cameras. It's hard for me to find anything much more relaxing than walking through the woods on a day like today. Unfortunately I'm still having a dry spell on the cameras. Didn't get much to get me excited again last week. Seems the big bucks have gotten camera shy. Probably going to move a couple of cameras next weekend and see if that will change my luck.

I did like this set of pics of a doe and her twin fawn. The spots are all gone and the fawn will be on their own in another month or so.

Small Buck

Another slow week for the camera traps. The big bucks are still AWOL from the cameras. I know they're still around from having seen two last week as we were finishing the corn chopping. It's funny to watch the deer come out into a field that has just been chopped and stand looking around. They're probably thinking where the heck did all of our corn go.  I did get this small buck last week. One thing I really like about the Covert camera is it takes great night time pics.

Triplets

The triplets are getting just as big as the twins. They're still feasting on corn due to us not being able to finish chopping because of the rains we've had. Last year (here) we were done by the last week of September. Note the last pic. The bears ALWAYS have to get up close and personal with the cameras.

Red Fox

       Pretty slow week as far as trail cam pics went. Had one camera malfuntion. It went from 60% battery life last Sunday to "Low Battery" this week. Of course I don't have any spare batteries with me to see if that was the problem and it was too late in the day to go get some. The big bucks seemed to have disappeared. Did get a nice set of the triple cubs. I'll post them later this week because I got a nice Red Fox I want to post first. Looks like it is marking it's territory or it was showing me what it thought of my camera trap ;). The way my luck has been going lately it's probably the latter.
