First card of the year

I put a trail cam out April 26 and pulled it yesterday. I had 886 pics on the SD card, but lesson #1 was that lot's of things change in Iowa during that time frame. The brome/orchard grass grew up in front of the camera around the last week and a half, so many of the last 200 pics was grass moving in the breeze. It was pretty cool to see the trees go from bare to blossom to leafed out.

Last year I ran a trail cam over this area where the horse's mineral block has sat. There hasn't been a block there since maybe July of last year and there was enough salt leeched into the ground to keep them visting (and force of habit). I don't recall seeing this gal before and it looks like her right rear leg has been locked for some time now, I'd say more than since last fall.

This guy appears to be taunting the camera.

She looks pretty rough Randy...

200 pics of grass...makes me think of the old "film" trail camera days. 36 pics of grass was always dissapointing... /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Well, the crippled deer I thought was a she turns out to be a he. Got a bunch of pics last week and "it" is spiking. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

Hopefully the coyotes that I heard at 4 am this morning doing the death howl got him, though I doubt it. Sounded like they
were over in the neighbor's hog lot. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif
