Here are some recent visitors to one of my game cameras.
(Click on images to enlarge)

This looks to me like a young deer that's about 1 year old (born last Spring):


If you look closely, you'll see the antlers are starting to grow in for the season:


This is Waldo the Jackrabbit:


Big Bear:


This is the first time I've gotten a picture of a fox in the daytime around here:

Thanks!
And we don't have burros over here.

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife

I think it didn't like the little wire fence we have at the top of the steps to contain our small dogs.

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
MrOwl, Mon Jul 02 2018, 04:11PM


Ahhh, I didn't notice that until you mentioned it.

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
HazMatMind, Fri Jul 06 2018, 02:44PM

Trash pick-up was pushed from Thurs to Fri due to holiday. I groused, but lugged the bins back in. Neighbor did not. This bear strolled through my yard and had a party with neighbor's garbage.

Something's been triggering the cam but no captures. Set the cam a bit lower last night. Looks like Ol' Bob?



Re: Fawnskin Wildlife

I used to set mine for 3 shots

Looks like Bob

Great pictures! Is that the young, not full-grown bear? That one came by our place in Fawnskin a couple nights ago. But the more I look at the pictures, the more I think this is a full grown bear.

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
HazMatMind, Wed Aug 29 2018, 06:15PM

Could well be your bear although it looks fairly broad across. Many of my cam bears seem to stroll down from upper Fawnskin Dr (West) and then go straight across into the lot next to my place below the Oakglen split. We call the space btwn front house and back cabin -- The Bear Corridor.

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
©ammy, Thu Aug 30 2018, 09:23PM

Ya... that's close enough to our place that it could easily be the same bear.

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
©ammy, Sat Sep 01 2018, 06:20PM

Last night, we had a bear come visit. The bear didn't realize that Indy was sitting on the porch. Indy is our neighborhood wild kitty.



Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
©ammy, Sat Sep 01 2018, 06:32PM

It's been a while since we've seen a tree squirrel around our place!

There is no sneaking up on Indy.

Hey, what is my squirrel doing at your place? He gets around!!




Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
HazMatMind, Mon Sep 03 2018, 11:26AM

©ammy-- This critter strolled through last night on the way up to your place. Looks more like your (posted) bear than the bruiser on my cam last week.






Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
HazMatMind, Mon Sep 03 2018, 11:29AM

Also, have any Fawnskinners seen day bears?

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
Lumber Jill, Mon Sep 03 2018, 01:53PM


A few years back we had a bear that would come around during the day. It was rather nerve-wracking because he'd just show up, and didn't like being chased off. He came around for about a month, then stopped showing up. All other bears we've seen have been at night.



Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
HazMatMind, Mon Sep 03 2018, 02:14PM

Thanks, LJ! Was thinking about early morning walks and wanting No Surprises. Is that an actual photo of the Day Bear?

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
Lumber Jill, Mon Sep 03 2018, 07:51PM


Yes it is! I have another somewhere of him on our deck railing. Now to find it...

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife

I still can't definitely prove if a bear poops in the woods, but I can tell you that coyotes like apples:

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
HazMatMind, Mon Sep 17 2018, 09:29AM

©ammy -- thanks for the capering coyote! I had no idea. Going to reposition my cam to capture apple tree views. Do bears go after the apples as well? My tree is full of chipmunks and birds.

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
MrOwl, Mon Sep 17 2018, 09:57AM

Hazmat, the bears used to eat apples on our trees.

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
©ammy, Fri Sep 21 2018, 07:17PM


Here's your answer!
(click on images to enlarge)


Notice the apple in the bear's mouth


See the apple on the tree just above the bear's nose?


Now you don't!


A couple more bear pictures




Re: Fawnskin Wildlife

Yogi doesn't need a picnic basket when he has an apple tree.

I lost almost the entire crop of apples from my two year old trees to chipmunks. Had 9 apples, harvested 2.

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife

Are those coyotes or foxes?

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
HazMatMind, Thu Oct 18 2018, 08:07AM

Twin foxes. Have had a lot of foxes lately. One swiped an apple.

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
©ammy, Sat Oct 20 2018, 09:33AM

Oh cool! Well, not the apple part though.

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
HazMatMind, Fri Oct 26 2018, 08:38AM

Earliest evening bear since I've had the cam. Left a HUGE calling card in the middle of the driveway.

So a bear doesn't always leave his "calling card" in the woods?

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife

A couple blocks away. Pretty cool sighting. I've seen them in the ANF, but not down here in a residential area.

We have them at our place, but only during the night. I have never seen one in daylight!

I will next time up. We also looked east, where the 84 meets the 20, or E Gowen Rd, up by the Simplot Sports Complex. Several spots overlook the river, but are a bit pricey!

I read that they mate in June/July and give birth in Jan/Feb. Wondering if this is a pregnant sow. Very girthy. Over 100+ captures as it harvested the apple tree.

Yep, that's the Fawnskin Mama & twins who came through my place the other night. No wonder they're hanging at your house -- so much to explore! Great vid!

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
Lumber Jill, Sun May 19 2019, 10:46AM


But not a thing to eat! I stopped feeding the birds months ago. I do put out vegi waste in a compost pile, but they have no interest in that!

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
HazMatMind, Wed May 22 2019, 05:47PM

©ammy & LJ--do you do the fades and edits? Is that a YouTube function/tool? How fast does your cam eat the batterie$ when set to vid?

Re: Fawnskin Wildlife
©ammy, Thu May 23 2019, 08:29PM

I use Windows Live Movie Maker to put together the videos and do the fades. I think YouTube used to have a simple editor, but last I looked (~ a year ago), I couldn't make it work anymore. My camera takes 8 AA batteries and I use rechargeable batteries. I have it set to only record videos at night, and they're only 15 second videos. I think I can get a couple hundred videos over a month or so before I have to recharge the batteries.
