The guilty have been caught on camera!

[Renthorin]

Nothing as dramatic as car theft I'm afraid. I have been feeding the birds, squirrels, coons, possums...you name it...even the neighbor's dog at the bird feeders in front of my living room window.

At night all the corn in my tray vanishes and sometimes the tray is moved out into the front yard.

Last night I put my game camera in front of the feeders, 5 feet from my window and I caught the guilty party(s).

C'mon... tell the truth.. You're just fattening them up for next season arn't ya

Sounds like it's time to test out your new friend Mr.Ruger you picked up last month. Venison anyone? MMMM good.
Guilty as charged.

Sweaten them up a bit and put some suger out there too!

 

[Renthorin]

I don't need to shoot them...I can lean out the window with a bat and whap them over the head they are that close to the house!

I have the camera in a different location tonight. I am hoping to get a buck on film so keep your fingers crossed

Is that the camera with the funny horizontal and vertical lines that intersect in the middle???

Sometimes I miss MI.... nothing like seeing a heard of around 30 of them in a big field...

Actually, they are good looking animals... too bad they're soo tasty:tongue:

 

[Renthorin]

No....that optical device is on my Ruger .22 target rifle and I don't think that would do the job. Of course with the Bull barrel I could thump them over the head :biggrin:

My 30-30 has no scope at this time.

This is a boring little 'wildlife' game cam. Motion activated.

Cool. I put one up this deer season, but I forgot to account for the angle of the trail. I got 17 pics, 1 had one gigantic tine in the very bottom corner of it, I overshot every deer.

This is from last night (Tuesday). :biggrin:

Everything was covered in snow but they still found the corn.

Cool Pix... That wildlife camera is a cool thing.

I'd get one down here, but the only thing that'd set it off would be the mosquitoes.

Da$% things are rats with Antlers. You cannot drive back roads in Southern Michigan anymore during certain times of the year. On the drive from Fenton to Okemos I have seen 100's of the things. Who needs a gun, just hit them with your truck.

Hi Doug

When my wife came home last night about 10pm she said there were about 8 of them standing in the driveway blocking her path.

Had she been in my truck instead of the minivan my dogs would be eating fresh meat today!

I have a well-worn path through the front yard now. Seems the word is out that I have corn on hand.

 

[GNflyby]

Looks like the beginning of a future petting zoo...lol.

 

[Renthorin]

My dogs would prefer less petting of the wildlife and more feeding of them.

I had one in the back yard last year and when I let the dogs out they all just stood there staring....and maybe drooling.

These are in the front yard that is not fenced so I can't let my kids out to 'play' with them.

I think it would be cool to eventually tame one enough to be fed by hand but what's the point.
