Deer Cam photos

It's hunting season.  Our neighbors, River View Farms, is an 832 acre hunting club.  The members of River View Farms have become good friends over the past 8 years.  We sure lucked out buying property next to them.

Our neighbors to the west are also hunting properties.  So, our little 42 acres is surrounded on 3 sides by hunting property.  Which is nice because that means we actually live surrounded by over 1300 acres of forest.  Nice!

Anyway, one of the ways hunters know what location is best for finding game is by using a game camera.  These cameras are strapped to a tree, and are triggered by movement.  They take color photos during daylight and black/white photos after dark.  We've gotten some very interesting pictures on our cameras in the past few weeks.

John was hoping to get this big guy, but our friend Joe Barnett of River View Farms got him instead.  That's ok though.  There's plenty more out there.

Here's who came to visit the camera yesterday.

But here was the real surprise!
Bobcat 

Do you see the bobcat, center frame?  Notice that's at 3:04 in the afternoon. 

Who else have we seen in the past (not our actual photos, since we didn't save past years images)?
