And most of that wood came from northern Michigan. My camp is on land that was once a Henry Ford logging camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also a few saw mills that are museums just south of La’nse. The ford family still owns large tracks. One of the bars in Big Bay, was his mansion and ball room. That’s my H3 in front of the old factory in Big Bay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted February 5, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 5, 2020 I bought a trailcam a few years back. Never could get it set up right and never got any animals in the pics so I stashed it away. Came home at night last week and seen a couple of deer out in the field behind the house. Not a big deal. Seen them out there a couple times before. Then the next night I was looking across the field again and saw a dozen and a set of tracks right into my backyard. So I went and bought some deer feed and set up the trailcam. They come every night, usually around 9PM. They walk and scratch the cornfield behind the house for most of the night. As few as 3-4, up to 20+. The little buck showed up last night for the first time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted February 5, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) We have a few video cams around the house for security. The cam on my shop that looks back at the house caught this. It’s the same deer in the 3rd pic walking past the trail cam. So yesterday I moved one of our other security cams back to where the trail cam is.

smokin george Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 On Mon night around 11:30 the driveway alarm went off and when I shone the mag light there were 4 sets of eyes . I yelled at them and they took off and a split second later 2 sets of eyes came back. I fired off a bear banger and they took off. Fkn coyotes!

We have a fox go by every night and some asshole cat setting the alarm off as well. There's tracks in the snow everywhere and hope to get something on the trail cam.
