Dog Driller,
I hadn't checked the trail cameras since the 1st, which is very unusual. I usually check them daily, but it's been cold, and snowing here for the last several days, so I didn't bother. The farm is so wet that I can't drive to the cabin. I have to walk over 300 yards to the site from where I park my truck, and I just didn't bother.
A bobcat showed up on the early morning of the 2nd. He pulled at and ate some of the meat on a leg bone I had wired to a stake. He also circled the whole area, looking for small pieces of bait I assume. He found one or two here and there.
What was also interesting was that the cat stalked the crow decoy I had placed there. He lingered around the site for quite some time, and he continued to go back to that decoy to check it out. If it had moved a bit, no doubt he would have pounced on it.
Also, a possum has visited two nights and a skunk early this morning. Crows and hawks are daily visitors. But, no coyotes in over a month, and only two coyote visits since September 24th. That's not good.
Get that Driveway Sensor up and running and you will drop that coyote. He'll be back. Just keep him fed.
