Nice Morning To Be Out Hiking !

Just as the sun was coming up this doe appeared in this small field. I watched her for a while before she noticed me. I was hoping to see a fawn.
Hiking along I came across a snapping turtle laying eggs. On my return trip she had finished and covered the hole. I'll bet if I were to go back this afternoon and check some critter would have already consumed the eggs.

Check this video out. Be sure to turn it up ! This trail camera would of been ruined if not for the metal case.

Been A Good Few Days Hking

Above are me and my grandson. He made his first real hike at 31/2 . He hiked from the orange gate to Soapstone Hill and back ( approx. 3 mile round trio). Not bad ! for those little legs (lol) My wife also  also came along taking pictures of him holding a toad and touching a ribbon snake. He truly loves nature !

This weeks hiking was eventful seeing a mature bear, bobcat and red fox. The bear didn't present any pic opportunity. Did get a pic of the bobcat and fox.

Spent a considerable amount of time tweaking camera trap sets hoping to get more bear pics and maybe  a moose with a calf.

No shortage of skeeters this weekend!
