A mild December morning , pack full of trail cameras and a
short visit from a cow moose on my hike in, made for an enjoyable morning in the Massachusetts woods yesterday. With winter
approaching it’s the ideal time to start making winter camera trap sets. I’ve
been seeing numerous bobcat scat piles in one area and thought it would be an
interesting winter project to focus on bobcats. A break in a stone wall and
several log bridges had fresh sign on them. Last week I also located two beaver
lodges with food caches piled in front of the lodge entrances. This indicates that the beavers will use that
lodge once the pond freezes. I have found active winter lodges catch the
attention of predators and they will investigate, most likely from caster scent
and the possibility of a meal.
