Gimlis Ghost:
The pose of the buck reminded me of two amusing incidents.
A family friend had a cast iron statue of a buck in just that pose in his yard a fair distance from his house. One evening a nimrod in a truck stopped short and jumped out with his trusty deer gun and blazed away at it. When the deer didn't go down said nimrod realized his error.
On another occasion my neighbor had trimmed some trees and being of an artistic bent used some logs and limbs to create a neat wooden deer. My old Plot was mystified by it and would go over and sit in front of it staring at it for hours.
Not much wild life here recently but years ago the cops busted a smuggling ring who as a sideline smuggled rare animals. When the cops came in all the exotic animals were ejected out the back windows.
For months weird looking jungle fowl haunted my back yard. One day I pried open an old storm damaged steel shed and found a huge nest at least six feet across containing scores of eggs.
Three fine looking fighting birds also took up residence for awhile, two fighting cocks and a hen. Beautiful birds they were and left to themselves very peaceful.
Something huge and round that grunted like a hog spent several nights high up in one of my walnut trees. Never found out what it was.
Digital Caveman:
My brother has been trail caming for a year and a half, it was really neat when we found some porcupine dens :). I need to see If I can get ahold of some of the shots.
@OO, Was that vehicle supposed to be there? We've caught many trespassers on our cams.
Those bird shots are spectacular, how does the camera do there? We stay away from open areas because we get to many false triggers.

That's me and my family in the truck. That camera does great there. I've had it on the same tree for years.

If you are referring to the black wire square in front, it's a spider web catcher. Spiders like to build webs across our trails.
