Turtle Time !

 


With gas prices being a concern, I’m trying to be more mindful about travelling around the state checking trail cameras. I have a couple of options

  1. Change the frequency of trail camera checks to every other week This would help offset fuel costs.
  2. Find  camera trapping areas closer to home . I did this last weekend and through a bit of effort located a new area.

This new area initially shows some promise. A lengthy beaver dam stretching a long distance through a grassy bog caught my attention. It’s not as remote as I would like, but certainly appears to be an interesting location to set several camera traps. A steep climb up an embankment revealed a small area with sand that showed  evidence of turtles laying eggs. Also, something has been digging and eating the eggs.

Long Shot !,  why not set a few camera traps and try to capture a turtle doing its thing and hopefully  capture a predator  robbing the eggs.

Stay Tuned

Jim
