above the apple orchard where i have been poking about .the deer travel i think nocturnaly
so i thought a little higher up the trail would give me a bit better handle on what time they were moving .

i settled on one trail that had with a bit of hard looking various sets of animals traveling in both directions .

i set up

then wandered about 70 yards down hill to find a spot where two trails come together ...
hmmmmmm ....what to do /?
i went up and shifted on to the double trail as the second had a bit more traffic .

spot the camera///?

being in a bush fire burnt area a black camera blended in well


the deer wander down lower ,i have pictures in the wallow at about 2am ,i went right out to the paddock and found fresh mud that had been "shook"/.
so

im assuming that if they are in the wallow at 2 am then wander to the paddock to feed ,for at least a few hours then they should in
theory be heading back past the camera at about 5-7 am ...?
what do you think .

i recon i shall have to climd the tree at the camera

They are a good thing these cameras eh Gav! I went out and grabbed mine today, it has been in the bush in 3 different locations with the same battery. It still had 44% life left in it. Here is one of the better photos from it.

I also had a heap of 'roo photos it, inquisitive little buggers will come right up to have a look at it, then the flash goes off and all you get is a photo of their heads from the eyes up, they must see stars for about 10 min's I reckon! Keep at it Gav', the good shots will come. Dale.
