Trail Camera activity continues to be slow. I have been bushwhacking searching for new bear dens while checking old den sites. None of the old dens had any bears. There is still a little time left. Years back, a sow with three yearlings used a fieldstone den late December. Fingers crossed!

I set out two moose camera trap sets this week (pictured above). Best case, I can check them in January, worst case, late winter. Both cameras have external battery packs. Lithium batteries were put in both the camera and battery pack. It will be interesting to see how they hold up throughout the winter

While bushwhacking this week, any tree cavity caught my attention. I do not have many Fishers captures on my trail cameras and this winters effort will be focused on tracking fishers, and if all goes well, identifying a fisher scent pole to setup a camera trap.


Pictured above, fisher track and scat I located late last winter.
