I’ve
been scouring topo maps looking for new areas to camera trap in Massachusetts. Don’t
get me wrong, my current spots are working out well. I really enjoy
bushwhacking looking for new terrain and camera trap possibilities. My research
and efforts paid off! I identified two new locations that looked good on the
map and would require a bit of effort to get to. The most promising spot turned
out to be nothing more than a large vernal pool. That’s not quite what I was
looking for. The second location appeared the least promising on the map and
turned out to be a homerun. Actually I stood in amazement for a moment. A
Beaver pond, 1-1/2 acres with a nice dam on it. A camera trappers dream! There
are no trails or easy access to this location and there were plenty ticks. I’m
looking forward to setting trail cameras in the spring.
