Was out yesterday and dumped the beaver fleshings on one of the best bait sites here and wouldn't you know it a pair of wolves were in checking the area out. Yep that's why the coyotes are out of the area. I stay on a 400 acre area and there was no fresh coyote sign any where. Need to go check a few different spots.

I decided to pull logs instead. I did empty the freezer of beaver and hauled it back for the kitties to enjoy. I need to keep them fat and healthy for next year.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Someone dropped a deer rib cage along my parents road a few days ago. My Dad went to get it today and take it back in the woods for the critters to eat. When he pulled up there was a bobcat feeding on it. He decided to leave it in place and hang a camera instead. I guess he is just fattening it up for next year.

Great pics, Rick. Get some 8x10 glossies made up for the grandkids, they'll appreciate it down the road.
