Pics from the "Petting zoo"

Recommended Posts

I pulled my card today from a spot I call the "petting zoo" because there's always a ton of activity on this salt lick. I had over 5,000 pictures between April 18 and May 2. Not sure why but the camera just quit and I have nothing from the past 3 weeks. The batteries were good and there was space left on the card.

 

This spot has elk all day, every day so here are some of the non-elk activity. Funny part is, I took my boys here April 18 to set up for turkeys. We didn't get any shots, but if you look at the time stamps, had we just kept hunting this spot, we could have killed toms with a spear, lol. Ended up killing 3 birds for all three boys in a whole different area.

 

This is what comprises most of the pix out of the 5000+ in a couple weeks.

Here are some cool turkey highlights. Most of these pix came in the 24 hours after we took down our blind and headed to a different area.

Both of these strutting gobblers are less than 10 yards from where our blind was set up.

Nice bear - she's been here for a few years, sometimes with cubs.

Some great pics. That reminds me, I need to go out and check my camera before the forest gets shut down.

Unfortunately, it looks like the petting zoo is now reduced to ashes - a casualty of the San Juan fire. I expect the next time I see it my trail cam will be melted mess of plastic. Bummer, that was a great spot.
