Paul has now brought home all of my trail cameras for the season. Hopefully, next spring may see me able to do some of that again myself. Activity at the bear tree had slowed, with only one bear recorded by the cameras. He, or she, was obviously in fine fat condition for a long winter's nap and the attention paid to the message tree was minimal https://vimeo.com/192578845

Several whitetail bucks had also visited the Bear Tree. It is ideally located beside a trail, just where bucks in the rut like to post their messages. It appeared, however, that the strong scent of bear may have been a major deterrent!

The first snow of the year seemed to bring out the play behaviour in three sparring bucks https://vimeo.com/192580427

One of the bucks that visited the area carried a set of antlers that would make any hunter proud.
