Critter Cams Update

We hiked to our two cams yesterday, as they have been out for the past two weeks up Boden Canyon. We had them positioned about 200 yards apart.  Deer seemed plentiful, but we believe we are seeing some of the same ones over and over. We were surprised to see two men dressed in hunting clothes, but without long guns or bows, approach the cameras. Thankfully, they didn't mess with them.  We have re-positioned the cameras in new spots.

Here are a few of the critter cam highlights:

"What's this thing?"

"Hmmm... it has one eye!"

"I'm out of here!"

Rare intruders into "our" special place.  

"Our" mountain lion making the rounds.  She (we think) seems to pass by about once every week or so. That's about how often they make a deer kill if deer are available.

Four minutes later she passes the video cam.

Watch the deer zoom by in the background.

We wished this striped skunk had shown its face!

Gray fox

 This Virginia opossum showed up twice.

 We had about 350 pictures of deer!  Handsome buck, here.

 Young buck.

This gray squirrel ran back and forth on the same path numerous times.
