Let me start by saying that 90% of these pictures are behind the farmhouse, in the back field. An occasional food plot picture shows up, and never mind the dates on the camera pictures. They are are in the last two months. I do not waste my time trying to reprogram cameras every
time the batteries go dead. So, here we go with 'Growth'.
This guy below is at a mineral lick 100 yards from our back door. By a mineral lick, I do not mean salt. I mean essential minerals for maintaining bones depleted by growing LAST years antlers. Read up on it. Fascinating. Also, the lactating does crave these essentials and use them regularly in the summer. By this time (first week of September) interest in minerals of any kind, including salt, completely wanes.
Nice gray fox below.
This one will be a taker. Of course, if as usual he is as smart as he is handsome, we'll never see him.
Two daytime pictures of a doe and buck behind the homestead...
Four buck shots below, three different guys.
Gray fox, turkeys racoon and woodchuck at this cross roads.
Turkeys everywhere. It is hard to believe that they were once extirpated from New Hampshire. Thank you Ted Walski, you have a real legacy.
The next pictures simply demonstrate antlers in pure velvet. Beautiful.
Woodchuck, deer, racoon, squirrel and possum. They ALL come to this intersection.
Shots below are thrown in from the upper Far field, a very busy wildlife place. Not many coyotes here these days, but the few that are left love this field.
I love the snout below. They know the camera is there, but cannot figure it out.
A shot of the East plot, just after seeding...(stand by)
This pretty much catches us up on summer pictures. Fall is about to start along with bow season.
Hope to get some good stuff to you soon! Jack
