TC's Continue To Do Well

Picture above was taken about 100 yards form last weeks bobcat cover picture. This cat appears to have a spot on its lower jaw that may be unique . I will review other recent cat videos and see.

The only reason I checked  TC cameras this morning was the recent high winds we had the last several days. Figured this was a good excuse as any (lol) one camera did have dead batteries and 100+ videos of a grass swaying.

With my TC card review last week I did get a nice piece of  a picture of a noble bull. Camera was set to low ! I also raised several of the cameras in hopes of getting a decent picture /  video of a daytime bull.

Trail Camers Doing Well !

Its been almost three weeks since checking my trail cameras. This morning I put some miles on the ole' hiking boots changing out SD cards and relocating several cameras. The moose are just staring the rut and I was lucky to get several more daytime bobcat pictures. Also had a camera in the right place to catch a cow and calf moose.

Since spring I have hiked many miles  through all types of habitat searching  for tracks and animal sign in hopes of locating areas that might give up day time pictures of  Quabbin's wildlife. My trail cameras have taken many night time pictures and videos of bobcats. The bobcat pictured on the cover page was a welcomed surprise with the effort put into getting a day time picture / video of this elusive cat.

Bushwhacking is the norm looking for new areas to set out TC's. Yesterday I was rewarded with a deer antler pretty much chewed up by a porcupine.
Also stumbled onto this ..... Appears to be an old gas tank. Given where it was located Ill bet its been a while since being seen by anyone.
Any ideas as what this tank belonged to?

Won't be long now before the moose start rutting. Below find a short video with a young bull. It will be interesting to see if this TC can capture the dominant bull in the area. Stay Tuned !
