This critter I've identified as a badger, from the short legs, and face markings, as well as not having a ringed tail like a raccoon. First I've seen or caught on camera.

Interesting to see the doe (?) going after the decoy stake, and the other 3-4 deer visiting at the same time and gathering around the hanging licking branch (hanging for the third year).

Caught on camera on mid trail heading towards the fuel tank stand.

Three tom turkey spending better part of an hour strutting and gobbling in front of two trail cameras. Act like they know where the camera is at and putting on their show. Late in the breeding season, and would think the lone hen would have been a bit nervous but did not appear to be.

One of the better trail cam videos of a hen with her chicks foraging near the deer blind.

Preparing ground for planting forage oats and some other seeds for food plot near the walnut plantation. Forage oats grew well near the walnuts when planted in August last summer. Will try them again this year, but planted earlier. Ground dry but some promise of a bit of rain soon. Rototilled, spread seed, and rolled in. May brush over to covers some of the seed, depending on rain.

Appears that a doe has twin fawns, and another doe wants to take one away. They duke it out three times, once off screen and can hear the fight. The mother wins the first two, but loses the third round a week later. Still ends up with her two fawns seen in a later video. Interesting to see this behavior take place.

Early June bucks on lower trail. Potential for good racks before fall hunting season.

Stopped by to scout out the rental for July, and find it is on its own small lake so nice friendly beach and space to hang out at two levels of decks. Just a quick video of the surroundings for some ideas what to bring along for fun.

Greats Audra and Bram on a hike through the woods.

Fourteen deer show up together on trail cam during a 7" snow storm. Just worth recording the event.

Through the woods on a deer trail to the lower trail.

Spring walk with Grandma in the woods in April.

Two snow days that needed plowing in March, caught on video at mailbox.

Early April tom turkey display and strut. A bit of do-si-do.

March trail camera action which includes coyotes and 12 deer filing by the Browning trail camera.

Moving middle March day past the trail cam at the walnut field at blind end.

Different bucks to evaluate/estimate age from their size. Now have to shoot one to age it from the teeth to check on judging skills from these videos.

This buck hanging out with 4 antlerless deer near the Wally stand. Looks like a wide 8 pt. Stood on alert for unknown reason.

Just prior to a 10" snow storm following day in just 5 hours.

Happens sometimes when coyote sees infrared glow from trail camera when passing by. This coyote made several attempts to get past the trail cam. Browning model BTC-5DCL

These four bucks, one has shed one antler and another shed both antlers, show up early morning at the blind stand.
