The Joy of Checking the Game Camera

Part of the fun of living out in the country is the chance to see wild animals. My hubby has several game cameras set up around our land, in the hopes of seeing the "BIG ONE" on camera. Here are some of the photos he most recently got, along with my color commentary. :-)



















Most deer have twins when they have babies. This is a rare photo of a mother with just one fawn. It cool to see the lines that the spots make on the fawn.
















I think this must be the equivalent of getting caught picking your nose!















And DRUM ROLL!!! This is the photo that my husband was waiting to finally see! I have caught him practically drooling over the set of photos of this deer. If you look closely, you can see that this buck still has the velvet on his horns. Eventually, the closer to the rut, this velvet will come off.

I will occassionally post photos from my hubby's game camera. I find them interesting and I hope others do also!

Deer and Raccoon hard to see

In the following photos, the deer and raccoon are a little hard to see but click on the photo and it will get bigger. The are down in the front by the date stamp. Read the following post for info on the pictures.

Game Camera: How Cool!

So we have 17 acres of land. Our land used to be a former apple orchard. The last owner took out a lot of the apple trees, but quite a few remain. Our land also has a creek running through it and a lot of wildlife. My husband has a game camera set up to see the different animals we have down there. He got the memory cards today, and we have a really cool set of photos.

I guess I always thought out in the wild all the animals got along. I grew up when Bambi first came out, so I apparently thought that they all went around whistling and such. Here is a doe who was eating when a raccoon came along. Apparently she wasn't finished eating and didn't want company the first time OR the second time the raccoon tried. Keep an eye on the time stamp for how long this took. I will post the photos right now from Picasa.
