Getting Back To The Trail Cam

While in the hay fields, it was tough getting enough day light time to make a trip into the woods to the corner where the trail cam has been situated.

Now that the hay is done, the equipment put away and worries about fire danger going up without reprieve from some rain, we are again going into the woods each day to get a few more trees logged before we are run out of the forest.

Knowing that the trees and ground are already very dry for this time of year, we are more vigilant than ever about the property. We make it a habit to check the skid roads daily to check for signs of critters and/or humans that are not necessarily welcome. It is not a worry that an elk or deer will start a forest fire, but I still have those tender cedar and fir seedlings that I want to watch out for. The humans on the other hand can be all kinds of trouble.

Fortunately, only critters were found on the trail cam during our absence from the forest and so I thought I would share a few with you. We saw elk during the day and elk at night. There were deer in the daytime and in the dark. The coyotes tripped the cam several times throughout the hay season at all times of day and night. Even the dogs were caught on camera when we were driving the skid roads. And then there was me when I walked into the brush to check the camera!
