TIN CAMP - This is the Last One...

Beginning of Life-> Estrus-> Easter
Estrus-> Eggs

Therefore, Easter Eggs.

Not certain how the bunny comes into it, unless it has something to do with the rabbit test. There’s an old expression- “The rabbit died” used to tell s women she’s pregnant. Blood drawn from a woman and injected into a rabbit. If the woman is pregnant, her blood will have a hormone in it that will kill the rabbit. I have no idea if this is true or not. It’s just a wild hare brained guess on my part.

Been a while since I've posted deer in the pasture but saw this clip of a pretty big group making their way through it and thought it was worth a share

Looks like they ate everything already. Still cold out there?

LOL - that's what I was thinking but they keep coming through. In another clip, I could see them making a stop at the pond to drink and think that might be a reason for them being here.

Things are starting to warm up but we're still getting an occasional snow storm here and there. Fortunately, we're on the western slope and whatever does fall seems to be melting away in about a day. About ready to get back out and de-winterize the place.

Drove past your new place coming back from Moab. Still in winter mode over there.

Not sure if it's just a spring thing but a herd of deer decided to make our pasture their home. Our game camera has been going off like crazy for days now. Here are just a few pics of what we've been seeing.

Is the coast clear?


They seem to hang out most in the later afternoon or early hours of the morning.




Here are some in the morning before sun up.


A pair of does just dancing around.



Might be the same two girls later on in the day.

 

[wayoflife]

A few more at the crack of dawn.

 

[TrailHunter]

That's Really Cool.

Keep an eye on their bellies.

You might be a "Grampa" soon and that is their chosen nursery.

 

[WJCO]

Very cool.

I see that size a herd and all my brain thinks is ticks, ticks, ticks, ticks .....

This gal came by just a few minutes ago. Check out the big ass scar along her back.

That’s is a big ass scar, maybe was able to escape a cougar? Barb wire fence? Cool shots though.

 

[Jeeptime]

Eddie, they sure enjoy eating at your house.

That a girl or a button buck? Hard to tell for sure.

 

[WJCO]

That a button buck?

Had a herd of 4 come through the other night. Didn't even catch it at first.

 

[Jeeptime]

I have a few that come down for water.

Yeah, I tried downloading the video to see if I could get a better look but it always starts later and it didn't help. Wouldn't surprise me though. It'd be hard to imagine that all of the deer out there are does and more than a few of the ones eating our tulips in Carson City are buttons.

Things are greening up in the pasture and this time around, a herd of elk came through the pasture. Here's a shot of a good size group just lounging around from this morning.


And, here you can see them prancing around.


Here's a video clip of them.

And, here's one of them taking a long draw from the pond.
