Trail Cam Critters

I sorted through around 2,000 trail cam photos just for you.  My blog followers.  Actually, it was kind of fun.  When you quickly flow through all those photos it becomes like a movie.  The deer's ears twitch, their eating and frolicking comes to life and then they suddenly disappear from the frame.  Just like magic.  Well, I picked out an assortment of night critters, day trippers and anything unusual.  Like this deer kiss.  How sweet.

For those of you uninitiated with our trail cam, it is a camera that snaps a photo when it detects motion out in our woods.  So far no yetis.  

A great coyote capture.

Turkeys galore.

A flashy close-up.

A fisher cat!  This is an amazing capture.

Take a gander at another turkey.

A monster deer.  But not in size.  If you look close his head looks right out of an alien movie.

One horn during the day.  He looks pretty beat up.

Buck beauty shot.

I wonder if she's saying, "No more photos for God's sake" 

A blurry Bobcat.  It is not a good shot.  But it is still pretty cool to capture one roaming around.

The snow looks like shafts of light cutting through the night.

A post snow frolic.

A snowy dinner party.

I hope you enjoyed our nature photos.  It is fun to catch animals unaware.  And you never know watch you'll catch.  Big foot?  He's on our bucket list.

Fisher Cat!

After fishing through thousands of photos, a fisher cat turned up. (click to enlarge) Unfortunately these predators from the weasel family actually have a taste for house cats. Gulp. And they are tough enough to take out a porcupine. Another reason to be glad for remote photography. If you have a little time on your hands and a healthy curiosity about animals be sure to google the fisher cat. There are plenty of hair raising videos of the fisher's eerie cry. Yikes.

Where wolf?

We caught some spooky creatures of the night on the haunted trail cam. Wild meat eaters that scream and howl in the night. We used to camp in these woods. (now we stay at the Comfort Inn) And we loved hearing the wild dog's cry. But we'd never captured any wolves on the trail cam until now.



But the first photo is something different altogether. You'll have to enlarge it to really see the weird creatures. First there is what appears to be a deer head peaking out low behind the tree. Then look up the tree to see a long tail and foot. That's what we think is a fisher cat. And from what I hear they mean business. Scared?

Here we have what appears to be a wolf. But maybe the poor creature turns back into a tortured human by day...

Nope. All wolf.



We think this is a coyote. Only 50% as scary as a wolf.

And this is pumpkin pup. Graphic, Frightning, pee my pants scary I know.

Happy Halloween!
