1-15-12   Along toward the end of the deer season, Max Sanders had our skinner, David Gonzales, save a deer carcass for his use with his trail camera project.  Max just sent the photos below, and here are his comments:

This fellow IS a Big cat.  I must have about a 100 shots of this guy. 
He started coming in to the carcasses the first afternoon.  He wanders in from the north or northeast.  He comes early and comes off and on during the night.  On this SIM card, I had over 1060 exposures over 4 or
5 days.  The cat came the first day and then skipped a day or so and then came back.  We had no coons during most of his visits, although there is one shot of a coon and the cat, but it looks as though the coon keeps its distance.  There were the usual visits from red-tail hawks, crows, and birds.  adios. ms

Max also got a great shot of a flock of turkeys at a water trough.  The photo is included just to motivate all you spring turkey hunters to get yourself organized and get a date reserved to hunt with us this spring.

Finally, Max sent some photos of the snow we had recently.  Indeed, it was a super-wet one and will really help the outlook for the deer.  All our nutricious winter weeds will get a much-needed drink.  For sure, things are in much better shape now than they were a year ago.

11-15-11    Anyone who has ever run a trail-camera line knows that you get a hundred photos for every keeper.  Max Sanders, who has taken on the task of keeping up with the project for us, sends only a few of the many he gets. 

In this drought, Max has found a few skinny, distressed deer - of both sexes.  No one enjoys looking at any kind of animal which is in some form of distress.  So up till now, we have refrained from including any such photos in our collection.  But just for the heck of if, we included one below.  Poor fellow.  As we are now into the hunting season and actually laying hands on deer carcasses, most of them are in surprisingly good shape.  Even when times are good, however, you will occassionally get an image of an emaciated deer, not long for this world, from unknown causes.

Also, trail cameras are handy to monitor any kind of activity.  Below you'll see an image of a feral hog - an uninvited, undocumented alien in our part of the world.  And a couple of humans were captured by the cameras.  Who were these people?  They don't appear to be hunters since no weapons are seen.

As always, trail cameras raise more questions and provide few answers.

10-28-11    In addition to the photos collected by our amigo, Max Sanders, we also have some good ones taken by Doug Ridge.  Doug's family owns one of the ranches we hunt.   

The photos below will give you an idea of what the deer are looking like at this time of the year.
