I’m not a deer hunter or any kind of hunter except with my camera. And I do like to take pictures with my phone. But sometimes when I’m walking back in the woods, I wonder what might be watching from the shadows. And so, I borrowed my husband’s trail camera and set it up out in those woods to see what I could see when the critters knew I wasn’t around. This spring I caught some pictures of a deer and her fawn. Spots and all. In the first picture it looks as if the deer is very new to the world and even seems a little wobbly on its feet. Then a little later, if it’s the same fawn, you can see how it has grown in a few weeks.
But I see more than deer. There are wild turkeys.
And raccoons come in the night.
And sometimes even though I try to sneak up on that trail camera, it catches a picture of a two legged creature with her dog buddy. Of course, I have been known to delete those. But I save the ones of Frankie and Marley sometimes.
And now and again a deer wants to get close to do a selfie.
Have you ever played with a trail camera?
