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 !
