i wish I could hunt off my back porch.

Evil Kitty's tracks in the fresh snow criss-crossed very nicely with these:

.....across our yard and our neighbor's yard....no coyotes on the camera, but the tracks were JUST far enough back from the camera that I can believe the camera didn't sense them. At least 2 'yotes too.....

 

[ruthcatrin]

I had to go back out with the tape measure.

Coyote 1's tracks:


Coyote 2's tracks


Arty's tracks


Apollo's tracks

Great pics ruth. I now have 4 cameras in various locations, one I affectionately refer to as the coyote cam as it is on the path they take almost nightly. It is funno to download the pics after a week and have to wade through 3k pictures to get the one or two good pictures. The rest of them don't often get much. I need to train one at the island to see if I can catch the goose eggs hatching.

 

[ruthcatrin]

Oh yah, warching goose babies ought to be fun!

We had to send one back to the manufactuer for warrenty repair, we should be getting it back tomorrow. That coyote has a regular path across the back end of the yard.....

Yes it is!

 

[ruthcatrin]

For comparison, one more picture of the coyote (he passed RIGHT next to that tree, didn't even trigger the camera right above him):

And two of Apollo (118lbs 28" at the shoulder) in as close to the same location as possible:

Basically, Apollo's an inch or so taller, and a bit bulkier, but not by much....

 

[Smart_Family]

Dang! I'm always afraid I'm going to take the dogs out at night and there will be a coyote.

 

[ruthcatrin]

SO FAR, we've not seen any coyote sign close to the house, fox, but not coyote.

I can hunt off the back porch with a bow only and it must be daylight

 

[ruthcatrin]

Thats the 2nd time that doe has wandered by (well, it looks like the same one anyway). I can't figure out where she's entering the property, but she looks like she's starting to waddle....

 

[ruthcatrin]

we were apparently quite busy last night lol

 

[mx5055]

Wow Ruth, that is busy! Also, if you can't hunt off your back porch, you might try some "troll" hunting here on the site...seems to be a plentiful supply today

 

[ruthcatrin]

Haha, don't tempt me....

We had a Snapping turtle in the yard this afternoon....thankfully hubby didn't try to mow it and we found it before the dogs did.....

 

[mx5055]

I miss all the turtles that use to hang around my place in Florida
