On April 2nd I pulled the memory card from the game camera in my back yard. During the coldest days of winter I put a little bit of grain out for the deer. Technically this is illegal, but I'm not hunting them. I just want them to hang around, and have a little easier time of it on the tough days. Some say this attracts predators, and it likely does. We have had a cougar in our yard once or twice over the years. But, I always stop feeding in March, as the bears are coming out of hibernation, so that I don't attract them.
This time around the camera ran from February 28th to April 2nd. Over this brief period it took just over 3100 photographs. Mostly this was of the deer. But there were a few others, of the fox, the ravens, Hank, and me and Margarit. Back in early March some of the bucks still had their antlers. By the end of the month they had all been shed, and the little nubs of next years growth had already started. I've attached a handful of images here for reference.
I've got so many game camera photos over the years that I've stopped saving them. This time around I planned to save just a handful of the best ones. But I accidentally deleted a bunch before I got around to saving them. It's not really a big deal, as they are very repetitive. But sadly I missed the opportunity to post a few more here.
