First sparring match involving a mature buck this year, if you look close you can see some scraps of velvet still hanging from his antlers.
Hiking and Kayaking, August 29-30
Of course I checked a few cameras while I was out
I’ve had this camera here for several years. It watches a main trail that follows the base of a mountain.
This little buck probably broke his antler sparring while they are still soft. I moved this camera.
I moved the camera I mentioned above back to this spot.
This camera watches an intersection with lots of deer food.
This camera didn’t get a lot of action, but these two guys showed up and butted heads for a while, pictures weren’t very good but it was enough to make me leave the camera here for another month.

I created this little feeding area by chopping down a thicket of 10 foot tall salmonberry and elderberry bushes. This area is also a wide funnel formed by the beach on the left and some steep ravines on the right, my clearing gives the animals a reason to stop by my camera as they pass through.

I switched this camera to record video, and next time I check it this creek will be full of salmon, and bears and eagles will be the main critters.
Kayaking and Hunting for Deer while checking Cameras
(Found one)
This is my best spot in this area, I got over 1700 pictures from Late May to Aug. 21. It’s an intersection in some dense cover.
This camera did pretty well, lots of different animals. This is a trail following a swampy creek that cuts through some muskegs.
This is the only camera I’ve left in place since last year, it watches a forest intersection.
Set a camera to watch this beaver dam, it was okay but I moved it and set it on the gut pile of the deer I took home with me.
This camera watches a trail that follows the edge of a muskeg.
