A Murder and twins (pic heavy)
A murder of crows of course. Took a side by side ride this morning to pull the SD card from the game cam. Neighbors had let their dachshund out so I had two riding with me as we traversed the hay field and woods. They would follow me if I didn't take them along. I fear a hawk would get them or they would get lost if allowed to roam into the fields and woods.
Returned without spotting any wildlife. The game cam though has provided a bit of entertainment. Still haven't spotted ole one eye. With me just now resuming the placement of edibles it may take a little while for him to appear if he is still around. First time around all I got on camera was does, crows, racoons and a spike. This time provided much more. Crows, squirrels, racoons, rabbits, a cardinal and more bucks. There was a button, a spike, a weirdly shaped four pointer and a nice ten pointer. One of the does is supporting twins.
I notice every summer that the deer pick up ticks on their ears. I'm wondering if I could put up a cattle rub for them in the woods if I place it along one of their trails? Anyone ever tried this or thought about it?
So for your viewing pleasure:
This is why they have spots:
Growing a big one this year. I counted ten points:

and of course, required pic of Shiggles checking out the scents.

Great pics! Thanx for sharing. I saw a beautiful bull elk yesterday and was surprised to see he had shed nearly all of his velvet.

Great photos and vocabulary lesson.
I never knew that "murder" is the collective noun for a group of crows.
Thanks for sharing on both accounts ! ... 🤗
