120128 - Some more deer at the project




110418 - At the project today - there
were a few deer playing around by the gate - here are some pictures







From Ben VA7BKL



So the first night down at the farm the camera
didn't get a thing, no fresh tracks either so I don't think it
missed anything. I was disappointed, so I set up the camera in a
different location on Sunday.
Sunday evening I drove back at about 9 p.m. to check
on the camera and to decide whether or not to leave it over night.
As I pulled up to the gate I saw 2 does in the field. When I drove
into the compound I noticed 3 more for a total of 5 does. With about
500 watts of light shining on them, they looked up at me then
continued to eat, the light didn't seem to bother them. They are
city deer after all. I checked the trail camera and no pictures and
no foot prints, so I started to look for prints to see where they
entered the field thinking the camera is too good to have missed
them. I found a second spot where the deer are crossing the fence
about 20 ft north of the other crossing, so I decided to move the
camera to watch the second crossing and leave the camera for one
more night hoping it would catch something. The deer watched me move
the camera to within about 10 ft of the new crossing I had found, so
I was taking a chance (fingers crossed) that they would cross again
at the same spot they did earlier so the camera would catch them.
Here is what the camera got.
Me leaving in the Jeep

The infrared filter is on here cause it wasn't quite bright enough,
5:48 am on a rainy day. I see the time is 12 hour off...oops
See the other deer at the far left, at the end of the fence?
Black tail or mule?

very wet down there, gotta watch where you step if you want to keep
your socks dry.
