Glad weather is improving and you’re starting to get the activity you want. You seeing any big Toms on cam? That last one might be a tom looks like a bigger one.

Flex-m, very good camera choice. I got 2 more coming in the mail tomorrow.
If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

Flex-m, very good camera choice. I got 2 more coming in the mail tomorrow. I’m adding some fiberglass poles with a booster antenna on the top to 2 of my cams they get between 50-90% signal strength and work great just trying to get closer to the 90% consistently on all of them. Will see if the 10 foot cable and pole improves it any. I’m surprised I’m getting any signal where they are at but they work well I have 4 looking at getting a few more.

Porky and another bird probably an owl. It’s been slow with the snow being gone setting traps on the 26th.

How often are you baiting, LD? Every 10 days I’ll walk in with the kiddy sled tomorrow not as heavy and replace any missing or low amounts of bait. I made some antenna booster poles just to see if they gain any more signal that stuff came in today. I need to pull the chips on the 2 east River cams also and rebait them planned on doing that today but got busy.

Good pics. Maybe that the owl is getting rid of the mice that are going in and out for the bait That’s probably it, the old chip cams did take mice pics they can work on that bait pretty hard.

Pulled the chip cameras today because the critters slowed down but by looking at the SD cards they kept the coyotes away but the cats or cat is still hitting the baits no problem. I need to go through the cell camera pics later tonight and check the cameras East River for activity tomorrow. It warmed up after lunch and was getting soft on the top soil so I didn’t want to rut things up. Same cat different cubbies on the same creek? Tail tips look different it could be the angle.

I think a lot of the pics might be the same cat working that stretch of creek even that off colored cat might have been this one also just with shadows or the way the photo was taken. Could be a shooting star thing boom then nothing but time will tell.
I put in that 2nd cubby like Bob suggested instead of moving the one set close by the cameras cover both so it worked out. Did not freeze last night it should freeze tonight then I can check the other baits then.
