Wildgame Innovations x6c
Been using my newer trail camera out behind the house this fall. The question is always . . . . “do the deer see the camera” . . . . without a doubt they do and I am sure many deer are camera shy!! Will not upload every video I capture but from time to time I will let people see the good ones!!!
Happy Thanksgiving 2010
I would like to wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Neighbors Problem Dogs
I have been having a hard time at the new house with the neighbors hound dogs hunting rabbits behind the house. Almost two weeks ago they were yelping and howling for almost 8 hours before I captured them and called the neighbor. Sunday night they returned howling and barking around 3:30am getting my dog all worked up where we couldn’t even sleep because of all the activity. Yesterday I observed a few Red-tailed Hawks hovering above the scrub shrub area probably searching for the same Eastern Cotton Tails that those dumb ass hound dogs have been chasing. I do know bunnies are back there because yesterday Patty and I watched two Eastern Cotton Tails hopping around the barn/shrubs for a short bit!! I even captured on the trail-cam Sunday morning those dogs running around on my property! Would love to hear suggestions on what you would do to stop the neighbor’s dogs!!!

beautiful is bliss
This photo is from 2002 but looked similar to the Pearl Crescent that I found flying around today here in Allegany State Park. Kinda worn but also later in the year than I normally see them. It is a very warm day today with many other Sulphurs flying around with the Crescent.

Administration Building in the Fall
I know the leaves are gone here in Allegany State Park but this was a photo I took in 2003 and one of my favorites of the Administration Building. This year the Administration Building had the new slate roof installed and should be completed this week sometime. It will be nice having our parking area returned and the building looking normal again.
