Guess I'll start a petting zoo

Try this again..tried to post too many pictures in one post, almost crashed my I pad last night. Last Dec, we bought a 12 acre parcel in a 30 year old subdivision up on Hells Gulch creek. Figured to park trailers, store junque that we moved up from Wyoming, and have a little out-of-the-way spot to hide out. End of the road, ends in a 100 yd long rock pit (landing) overlooking the creek (we own to the creek). Lots of critter tracks up and down the road, above the landing and on the old skid trails below down to the creek. Set out two trail cams last week. Here's what's on the parcel. Upper camera:

Still a Wyoming resident, so it would cost me a fortune in tags to hunt these critters this fall, but next year LOOK OUT!

There's nothing like a place of your own that's away from the idiots of the world. Solitude sure has its qualities in keeping a sound and relaxing mind.

Pretty cool Les......and turkey season is right around the corner......get that 32-20 ready!----6

I hit the "submit" button and an elk comes up.....very neat indeed.

You know of course, that come hunting season, all those critters will be down amongst the houses in the subdivision... right?

Clearly that's a nice piece of land to be host to all of those animals--even if only part time. I like those Stealth Cams--inexpensive and they take good pics.

Congratulations on your place.

Les,

One question: did you have the date set correctly for the bear pic? Seems like the bear should have been in hibernation and there should have been some snow (maybe?) in early January.? Of course anything's possible these days with our screwed up weather.

I forgot to set the date and time of the lower camera. It started out 1-1-15 . I got to get up there and set it up right.

Very nice,
and plenty of back stops in place to catch the spent bullets too.
