Kayaking, Looking for Deer and Checking Cameras

September 16-18

This was the first check of this camera location, the camera watches a trail through a skunk cabbage patch.

I’ve had the camera below in this spot for a few years, it’s set to watch where a main trail crosses a creek

I set a camera here to watch a split in a main trail coming down the side of a mountain.

This was one of the first spots I set a camera in this area several years ago, it watches a main trail that runs along the base of the same mountain.

This is another spot I’ve been using for a few years, it watches a trail between a couple big muskegs.

Hiking the Wolf Lake Trail

The Wolf Lake Trail is a primitive trail that starts at Harriet Hunt Lake goes over a ridge then drops into the valley where the lake sits. It’s a hard trail to follow after you cross the ridge as it has become really over grown and shows little sign of use.

I decided it was too windy to fish for trout effectively so instead of going all the way to the lake I wandered around the woods looking for deer and deer sign for a bit before heading back out. The deer sign was a little sparse, but the best I’ve seen it since about 25 years ago when wolves wiped the deer out.

The Trail

From here the trail goes through muskegs to the lake, I headed into the woods from here and wandered around for a couple hours before heading back.
