Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cookie's Oct/Nov: Boatload of pics

Cookie hit the trail for right at a month this fall. Thirty days out, and she went through about 120 gallons of fuel. While the primary goal was mule deer, if it walks, crawls, flies, swims, digs in the earth, or gets in her way she will take its picture. Humans are an exception.

A slightly more extravagant camp established Oct 21 with both the travel trailer (sleeping) and 12x14 wall tent (cooking, eating, and evening socializing in a warm environment). Much superior to huddling around a campfire on windy evenings.


About 3 weeks later conditions had changed (tarp on tent so snow will slide off), and she had a few campsite visitors around. Seems the does were fond of Halloween pumpkins, and the bucks tracked the does.


Now a sampling from the thousands of images captured:
A 3By in the early morning shade.


A slightly larger version.


And a 3 by 4.


Then a 4 by 3.


Caught one crossing the river behind camp leaving her with only a rear view.


Will add to this tomorrow, as it's been a long day, and I think one is only allowed 7 or so images in a single post. Have a good one,
