Antler Shedding

Looks like most of the bucks are still tenaciously hanging on to their antlers in my area. The small 8 pointer up in the mountain has loss one side but the 8 pointer and a couple of smaller bucks at the power line still have both sides. This week and next should see the majority of the bucks shed their antlers around here.

Day Break

Day break has always been one of my favorite time of the day. Not sure what triggered this sequence right at day break. I'm guessing another deer followed about the same path as the doe in the second and third pics and jumped the fence before the camera triggered. One of the big disadvantages of the Moultrie cameras is their slow trigger time.

 

Mountain Turkeys

Got some nice shots of one of the big Turkey flocks today. I actually got to see them driving up the road to check the camera. They had stayed in the area all day and had a large area scratched up looking for any left over acorns, seeds, or insects that might have ventured out of their winter hiding place during the warm weather. The first set of pics were taken a little after 7:30 this morning and then they were back at the camera around 2 o'clock this afternoon. Couple of pretty good size birds in the flock.

Snow Squall

I thought these were pretty neat pics a good size doe feeding through a brief snow squall. It's suppose to get in the mid 60's here the next couple of days so the snow is a distant memory :).
