Persistence pays off!

 I continue searching new areas looking for trail camera locations. A second “Gem” was located this week. It’s secluded but not all that remote. No trails or roads access the area. There was plenty of scat from deer, moose, BEAR and one raccoon. What’s unique about this spot is the small land area in the middle of the beaver dam with swamp all around it. I guess technically it could be call it an extremely SMALL island. (20 x 20 yards square) It will be an ideal spot to setup several camera traps this spring. I did set one camera to see what winter wildlife activity might be around. Once the small pond is frozen most animals will cross the ice.   There was moose, bear and raccoon scat on the island. Finding the numerous bear scat deposits of different sizes in the area suggests maybe a sow with cubs. The moose scat was also promising. You could see were the moose have been browsing on hemlock sapling branches.
