For those wildlife people

[Xp29h]

This is a live stream of Brownsville, Me. Every year they fill the troughs with grains and fruits and the deer and turkeys come running. Several times of the day there are many deer here feeding.. neat to see the big bucks come in.. and the fights and sparring.. click the “live” button lower mid/left for real time but you can scroll back through the day and see what’s been around..

There are several views. Here is what they call the road view.. the cars will pass in the distance..

Way cool. Coincidentally we had deer for supper tonight.

That's awesome @Xp29h Thanks for sharing that and for providing those animals a nice treat.

How I watch deer....

Sorry for the sick sense of humor.

How I watch deer....

Me too! But when we can’t grill em’ I do like to watch em! Beautiful animals! I don’t find it necessary to shoot one every year either. Probably one of RC’s favorite lines.... I like to look for the rack!

It is like my backyard. Over the winter it is not uncommon to 15-20 each of turkey and deer feeding.

Yep, we get the whole Dr. Doolittle show out here daily, just waltzing through...
if it's a critter native to this region, it's here somewhere.

I lived on my property in Alberta for a few years, until I moved back north. I’d see deer, bears, elk and moose pretty much every day. It wasn’t until years later that I put up a few cameras and discovered just how much game I had. It was mind boggling. I had no idea.
I put a salt block at a trail intersection by my creek probably thirty plus years ago. Once I moved we forgot about it. While walking the trails one day we discovered that the animals were still licking and rolling in the spot, so every year I toss a couple of salt blocks there. Nobody is allowed to shoot there, and the animals now kind of treat it like the neighbourhood pub. Got lots of amazing pix. The record so far is 1500 pix in a week. Took me five hours to go through them all. One pic had 22 elk in it, it was like a school class photo. And cammo paint on a camera only fools people. Animals always find it. Always.

Took this on holidays a few years back. South west Montana.

We had five moose on my place this year, including one nice bull. l think they all survived hunting season. I just shoot deer and elk so spent many hours this year watching my moose, waiting for an elk. One big cow moose has been there for years. She has twin calves every year. Harming her is verboten.

here the easement next door, several nice bucks a day
a lot more doe & fawns, that was a young buck & a fawn

another nice young buck

the back 40, usually like 20 or so daily,
with an occasional buck chasing a doe
there is a great bachelor herd of bucks too, like 6-8 of them that roam together
I can't find the recent photos

here's the daily route of the wild turkeys, like 40 or so
out on the back 40

in the easement nextdoor

I cut a hole in the fence put in another fence post
at the end of the chainlink fence section, on the hog-wire & barbwire back fence
so the deer & turkey can migrate back & forth easier

I'm guilty of throwing out stuff/veg trimmings, oats, grains, dog food etc.
for the animals to all eat

I do love hunting, but love seeing wildlife too, part of why I live here
I tell the deers (yes I talk to them often) & to the turkeys
"they don't know how lucky they are", especially around holidays

a few are hand-fed too, not by me, I don't condone that
but some are really friendly
you can tell they aren't afraid of humans & some people feed them

there was a young buck I saw regularly,
had an identifying black spot on his rump, so I knew it was the same buck
since he was a lil' fawn
that'd come right up to the fence, that wanted attention regularly,
(as long as the dog weren't out)
he lived to about 9-10, got to about 200# nice 8x7/tines rack
truly regal looking buck
