did get some hiking in last Sunday checking trail cameras. Dressing in layers made for a comfortable outing. The hope was to find some early sheds. (antlers) . Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, but did find three moose beds. The size indentation in the snow would suggest two full grown moose and a calf. The video below shows some mid- winter animal activity in the area the moose beds were found.
Recent extreme cold temperatures in Massachusetts have iced over swamps giving me access to new areas that were tough trying to scout late last year. I have located one new area with a beaver dam that looks promising. Plans are to set two camera traps on each end of the dam come spring.
I hope to find one more dam before winters out.
