Trail camera issues fixed, now pics from them ...

my BIL raises goats for market. When one goes 'bad' he put in the tractor bucket and takes to the 'graveyard' in the woods. Walking around there at sunset is pretty creepy.

Hung a stand and one of my cams right next to it on a 400 acre property about 12 miles from home on Monday morning. Didn’t take long for some pastrami to walk past.

gonna have to get a camera out back towards the river.

So far in about 30 days:

otter
ground hog
Pileated Woodpecker (and a sh.t ton of other birds- merlin cant keep up)
'tree rats'
three diff breeds of geese
mallard pair
stray orange cat
deer in our yard and on the island (five is most at once)
raccoon
possum
armadillo
green snake of some sort (let him be it was a warm but early spring day so he needed the sun)
Skinks everywhere, replacing deck so less moisture for them hope they hang around to control the ants

oh, and chiggers. Have not had them this bad since i lived in MO. Hoping new deck and a couple trees out reduce their habitat a bit.

I have one doe that keeps tripping my cam..... Fawns should start showing up.

Our development is being overrun by rabbits ... wife is having a fit about her flowers ... too many houses built up now to hit them with the .22. Might have to get the bow out, but then I run the risk of an errant shot and the bunny takes my arrow through the development getting the neighbors upset. Maybe it is time for a pellet gun purchase ...

pellets are just about as strong as a 22?

A good pellet gun is pretty strong. I’d imagine you could find one you like and compare the specs to an equivalent.22 and make a decision. A neighborhood kid was messing with one and blew out my car side window by accident, from 40 yards away.

I have a Ruger Airhawk Elite 2 that will dispatch small animals like squirrels and rabbits pretty well. I’m very happy with it.
