Moose Trail Camera Pictures - Best Yet !

 

The moose above were the biggest bulls my trial cameras videoed the last few weeks in Massachusetts. The trail camera used  for the night video was a Gardepro White Flash and the daytime bull video was taken with a Browning HP5. TC’s captured a total of six different bulls. I found a sizable deer scrape last week and set a TC. A very respectable 10 pointer has stopped by once. Hopefully as the rut heats up there will be more bucks visiting this location, Next week I’ll start looking for more scrapes to set TC’s on

 

Just when I think it is time to move on from bears an opportunity presents itself. More on this next week.

Bear Activity Slow - Beaver Chew Project

 

The picture above was a surprise ! I was hoping to video ( trail camera)  a bull moose walking through the old log cut in front of the sapling pines. This sow (has two yearlings ) shows a nice contrast against the green background. Bear activity is winding down quickly. Pregnant sows typically den mid-October, then shortly sow with cubs are in dens by the end of the month. Sows with yearlings will den early November. Males will den when food availability dries up.

The beaver chew tree looks like a good trial camera project. Beavers have been busy gnawing away at night. I went back yesterday morning to make  adjustments to the TC’s . More on that in the coming weeks. While bushwhacking out I came across a deer scrape. It didn’t take much convincing to set two trail cameras.

 

I’m still hoping to get another daytime bull moose before the rut is over. TC’s did video one new moose running in the dark.
