Got To Work For The Few Photo Opportunities

The title picture is an older doe who gave me about a 3 second window at first light before slipping away.

Trail cameras are still active. I was hoping to get a day time bobcat video...........

Quabbin Trail Cameras

Been Lucky With Trail Cameras

The title page picture  of the bear was on this blog a few months back, I  thought it was a good catch on my trail camera. At least I thought so until the I retrieved my SD cards from my trial cameras this morning. Two of the cameras were slightly moved on the tree, The video below shows why......

Any Idea Who This Stand Belongs To ?

While hiking , I randomly wander and bushwhack . I came across this ladder  deep within the watershed boundaries hanging in a tree. What an interesting find ! Taking a number of pictures and enlarging you can see evidence of where a platform once was affixed to the branches. The wood looks to be old and aged. My guess  this belonged to MassWildlife and a 16MM camera might of been used on this platform with Jack Swedburg filming Quabbin wildlife???

My trail camera activity slowed down considerably. This mornings check had a glimpse of a coyote a doe feeding and what appears to be a senior cow moose. In the next few weeks I will move the cameras to a different habitat.

Keep On Hiking !


  Recently I reached  2,100 miles on my ole' hiking boots in the boundaries of
The Quabbin Watershed. The equivalent of hiking from Fort Kent , Me. to Key West , Fl.

In addition to hiking " The Quabbin" with a camera I have set out a few trail cameras in my travels.

Enjoy !

Moose Are Very Active

The Bull Moose above presented a quick picture before slipping into the woods. I took advantage of the nice weather last Thursday hiking in hopes of seeing a bull. The effort paid off !

My trial cameras have been burning the midnight oil with moose activity. Below is a mature cow using her nose to detect scent.
