I've been on a mission the last two weekends setting out camera traps in anticipation of bears coming out of hibernation. Skunk cabbage is still several weeks from sprouting or at least in the areas that I have trail cameras
The pic of the coyote above is from a new swamp I located late fall last fall It looks promising with pics of bobcats, coyotes, otters and deer throughout the winter. Hopefully tomorrow I can get a few more cameras out.
No ticks yet!. I'll bet by next weekend they will be a problem.
My plan this year is to be a bit more patient and not to check cameras weekly. I'm setting trail camera in a much larger area in North Central Massachusetts and I couldn't possibly check them all each weekend.
Tomorrow I'm of to another new spot . I typically set a minimum of two sets in each area. This makes the time and effort worth it.
