All I wanted (expected) to find were a few deer!
« on: June 21, 2011, 02:52:58 PM »
Long walk in, just set some cameras up at a random bottom-like area.  No real game trails.  You can see the blacktail tracks i found on the way up (biggest I've ever seen).  Took a guess on a location.  1 month soak.  The month prior to this I captured a rabbit and a rat.  This month I fared a little better.  In order of appearance the blacktail track, the tree that i hung my cam on (apparently bears and i have the same taste, cause he mauled this tree after I put my cam up), Forest Grouse, Deer, Cougar Cubs, Bear (that attacked my tree), Bobcat, Coyote.  Again, I was HOPING to find a few deer.  No track, no bait, no scat, just luck and apparently a downed tree that every critter uses as a super highway.  What luck!  Who knew?  :dunno:

Very nice pics!  The long tails on the first kitty pics threw me--Juvie Cougars or Housecat/Bobcat cross?

Those little Cougar kittens are to cute.  I don't think I have ever seen trail cam pic's of Cougar Kittens that small.  That is a nice Bobcat to.
