It looks
like a bigger bull showed up last week. Comparing pics from last week’s cover
picture to this week’s pic it looks to have a bigger rack. A bit tough to tell
though.
The weather
has been great this week for hiking and even got a morning of kayaking in
retrieving trail cameras. Last week while checking trail cameras in another
area I noticed the beaver pond was losing water. Yesterday I hiked in to check
it out, the beaver dam had breached from the recent heavy rains. This is the
second beaver dam to let go in my camera trapping areas. There were two active
lodges on this beaver pond. It will be interesting to see when the water flow
slows at the breach if the beavers repair the dam. My guess would be yes. I
will check it out in a month or so. The low water level provided an opportunity
to hike the shoreline looking for tracks. A small bear had left decent tracks so
yesterday I hiked back in to cast those tracks.
