Now I think the big buck has returned with his herd.
(Then again maybe just big hoofed)

Lots of disturbed areas from eating the acorns laying about.

Maybe it's time to set up a few cameras again.
Got tired of looking at thousands of pictures of a raccoon. 🤣

More of the tracks followed can show foot dragging in the shallow snow and duff.
Chest width. And stepping into front tracks by rear feet , or not doing so.
Out of which more speculation can be made.

But following tracks enough to find a deer standing in them can be another!

Great stem density in your picture. With maple a great winter browse.
But acorns (and whites are a bonus vs reds but both great for deer) are as indicated the draw at the moment. While they last.

Deer tracks followed about one near knee deep snow day found deer entering an area of recent oak blowdowns and crawling around in them. Not to lay low or bed but to scavenge acorns on the downed tops.
All tracks had to drag in that much snow , vs a buck dragging without it.
But the wider track and not stepping in fronts kept me on one set of slots through those tops until finding antler imprints in the snow from working lower than limbs off the ground.

Your pictured tracks look interesting.
If a doe she's a biggin.
But the borealis strain are bigger than others too.
If I could see detail I'd look for more wear on inner toes up front than on outers.
Yours are trying to show that but might have melted a bit also.

Got those cameras up yet? You had an hour or so already!

I'll get right on it sir, I actually know where the cameras are, chips, trees,,,,,,,,,21F feeling like 16F, sun setting.
I'm feeling stressed out now-then again I'm quite comfy in my chair-thank you.

This is industrial/manufacturing type Stuff, and has been all safely done.
Just totally out of date.
You have to live in something that isn't safe.
Now I'd be looking for somewhere else to live.
Getting your own detector alarms is a good thing.

Hi, yeah I got extra alarms. There was only one here when we moved in, there should by law have been at least 4 given the layout of the home.
The housing issue here has got to crisis level (ill get my post deleted if I say why) I look and this is the only house that came up for rent in this town in 2 yrs.
Our last one, zero, one before that none in 3 yrs. Mate for all the issues here im grateful we have a roof over our heads considering the options are zero.

I feel sorry for many here about to go through Christmas with extreme losses incured by the 2 back to back storms which has yet to be cleaned fully up and will have lasting effects for some time to come.
So many people here are displaced with no where to go.
So many homes and businesses have closed the doors.
So many with damage that cannot be replaced due to rules and regulation of 50% rule which prohibits it...
This basically says that if the amount (cost to fix) your structure exceeds 50% of its value it cannot be repaired and must be demolished.
Insurance companies are bucking all over.
Fema helps but only a fraction of what is actually needed.
Already 1.2 million metric cubic yards of debri has been removed YET no one i know has had any removed.
Its a F-ing mess.

Mate that's terrible. It's amazing how quickly the media latch onto a story then turf it so quickly whilst its still actually unfolding and getting worse by the sounds of it. At one stage it dominated the news then suddenly vanished.
That 50% thing is stupid, id prefer to live in 50% of something than nothing.
I feel sorry for the homeless, there must be thousands? From a nice home to nothing overnight 🙁

You need to move to Florida. We're far from perfect but we are free.

@releventchair
I sat and pondered the camera, chip, tree, the 40% slope up the hill.
Got the camera-on.
8 AA later, chip, boots, hill climb, the tree is girdled with camera.
Just as get to the slope I hear.
Hey 🌶

They don't care about anything but the $$$.
The urban puts them at the feeding troughs, while the rural go fend for themselves.
Same flies around here it seems, we see stuff all the time that we know won't pass the sniff test 20 years ago.
