Setting 4 Cameras
May 14 Set a camera here to watch where several secondary trails cross this main trail, it also looks like the type of area bucks like to push each other around to build their neck muscles before the rut.

Highlights from a few Hikes
For the first time in a few years I’ve been taking down most of my cameras this winter to dry them out for a month or 2 before I find new homes for them this Spring. Some of my cameras have been attached to the same tree for so long the strap is growing moss.
