Last week
after watching two otters preen and rub their scent on top of grass hummocks, I
repositioned the trail camera just in case they returned. My efforts paid off with
two minutes of wonderful otter footage. I included a snip below.
The cover
pic is a young bull. I’m surprised to see he still has his antlers this late in
March.
I’ll be
pulling the Fisher sets this weekend. Scent post activity has stopped. A female
really worked her scent back in mid-March I thought for sure a male would have
responded to her last scent post coverage.
A hike this
week to check the ledge camera trap sets turned out to be quite an eventful trip.
The SD cards had two bobcats passing an opening that possibly could become a den site. Or
at least that’s what I thought until I saw bear footage. Not that a bear would
be out of the question in this spot, I just didn’t think I would ever capture a
bear along this ledge transition line.
Camera traps
also videoed deer mice , chipmunks, and several gray squirrels. A paradise for
a bobcat.
