The last couple of days I checked my four bear
den prospects with no takers. TC’s were set early October, not one bear checked
out any of the sites which rather surprised me. Camera traps did show bobcats regularly
visited three of the four locations. Given that information, I’ll set cameras
out mid-February and hopefully one the locations will be used as a bobcat or coyote
den site.
In December I bring in all my trail
camera equipment to inventory, clean and check that the cameras are functioning
properly. This year there are a few need to be replaced. As far a losing stuff,
I’m only missing one padlock (that’s a good year!) Unfortunately one camera,
cable lock & trailcampro mount were stolen. All in all a good year with
equipment and wildlife captures.
Late fall scouting has given me two new
areas to set (camera) trap lines for next year. The holidays will give me some
time to set out a few winter sets
