Wet Hike ! Well worth the effort.

I have been camera trapping a several acre beaver pond in effort to capture a picture of a daytime bobcat . I also was attempting to add a bit of composition to the picture.
Very pleased with the result !!
 It took about four weeks to capture this picture. Patience and persistence payoff when camera trapping.
It amazes me hope well a bobcat is camouflaged
Tomorrow I'm off to scout another area and make a few camera trap sets. Weather will certainly be much better than today.

Neat Early Winter Find

There is still at least one bear out and about. Whats interesting is the pole the bear decided to chew on, is the exact spot I rest my mono pod  with my weekly hikes to this area. Coincidence , maybe !
Last Saturday there were no bear marks on this pole. This pole is several miles from any sustainable food source. So it appears this bear is traveling from deep woods to the boundaries of  homes & woods to find food.

Lots Of Hiking With The Holidays

The time off has allowed me to put many miles on the ole'hiking boots. Still carrying my SLR on weekly TC camera checks. Been slow with any decent SLR pictures. I like walking shorelines and with the water levels this year, it's been a challenge.
I have many trail cameras out with no snow ( Yet) to hinder checking them, Activity has been slow and mostly night captures, This weekend I did note a number of bobcat scats while hiking.
I have been saving my gift cards for a while and decided to cash them in at Cabela's,  purchasing a higher end TC. I hope to continue improving the quality of the videos and pictures which will enhance future presentations.
