Critters captured on camera

[NSBound]

Ian, that is a brilliant photo of the dolphin!

Thanks, Jimmy, that one is my favourite too. Do you know how hard it is to predict where a dolphin will come back up out of the water? Almost impossible! All I kept getting was their dorsal fins and splashes!

More activity in the upper driveway. I believe this is a gray fox but only speculation as red foxes in my area are very rare. With the game camera strapped to a tree and left alone over night I'm finding out that the animals travel the graded roads as much as they do the game trails.

Looks pretty dark for 10:52 am.

Ya got me. I was hoping to sneak that one by. I guess I didn't see the button for the am/pm switch.

No harm, no foul. I found it kinda humerous. I did double check to make sure you weren't in Alaska or something though.

A few recent pics from my Game Camera. For the past couple weeks, it wont' hold it's settings. I thought it was the cable from the battery in my feeder, to the cable, but now I'm thinking the battery just isn't holding a charge any more. I forget how old it is, but think it's close to two years old. I'll replace it in the next couple of days and see if that fixed the date and time settings.

Nice pix Eddie. I assume that must be some kind of feeder in the pix.

At first, I was thinking it was some kind of stand and you must be knife hunting to get them so close.:laughing:

Cyril,

The feeder is from Cabelas. What I like about it is the stairs to get up and fill it. I can put 200 pounds of corn in it and not bother with it again for two weeks. I've replaced the timer a bunch of times, the spinning tray once and now have a nice 12 volt solar cell on it from Northern Tool that is great!!!!

I watched that middle buck this morning. He was following a doe around, then ran off a spike that kept coming around. Technically, I think he's a legal buck, but too small for me to want to shoot. In a couple of years, he'll be a keeper, but for now, he's just something fun to watch.

The other buck is a 4x6. He has a unique rack, but it's very imature and I guess he's under ten inches wide. To be legal, then have to be 13 inches on the inside spread, or outside their ears.

I've been getting pics of bucks like this for a couple of years now. What happened to last years bucks? or the years before that? And the year before that, I got two pics of a couple of bucks that were well outside their ears. I figure there are a few good bucks out there somewhere, I just need to be in the right place and the right time.

I lowered the trail cam two feet below the last setting and look what passed through. I don't use bait or other animal scents and it isn't set up on an established game trail but on the other hand it dosen't let anything get by. Three triggers in three seconds and reset in one second. The third photo was in the second burst.
This is the fifth bear caught on camera this year at our place and I've only had the camera since mid April. That is pre-Thanksgiving snow on the ground at elevation 2500 in the central California foothills-global warming?:confused3:

That's a good mystery as to why you get so many animals on your camera. Surely there is a reason they come by the camera. Great shots of the bear. It's sure chubby.

I talked to my neighbor yesterday about deer hunting here this year. On his 400 acre lease, they have not seen but a couple of small does all season long. He says that it is the worst year ever. There appears to be too much natural food for the population to care anything about the feeders, except for the squirrels and raccoons, of course.

About a week ago, my wife and I were visiting TBN member mikim to see his new house in progress of being built. He's near Bastrop, TX. As we were driving along a wooded gravel road, a beautiful buck crossed over in front of us in the middle of the day. It must have been an 8 or 10 pointer. That's the only buck I've seen since last spring when we had a young spike running with the does. I'm pretty sure deer hunting has been a bust all over north and central Texas this year.

The camera's first bobcat in color-we do from time to time hear them yowling in the daylight out in "the lost" but never see them as we are working outside, making our own noise, etc. then leave for our home 2-1/2 hours away and the critters come out...

Love the Bob Cat pictures, $.05. Thanks for sharing.

 

[nickel plate]

I'd like to see this young doe in the daylight as she has some interesting ear and muzzle color.

I woke up this morning and went and checked my game cam to see what was on it.



To my surprise.................................











Merry Christmas everyone!
