Signs of Spring



I took this photo while taking a break from shed hunting
with my dog. This is a stream in Grey County, Ontario
and we where following a deer trail along it for 2 miles.

Ontario Deer Clear of CWD

The Ministry of Natural Resources reports they have tested 633 deer samples for chronic wasting disease from the 2007 fall hunt. Since 2002, the ministry has tested approximately 5,000 deer and 100 elk and all results have been negative. The testing will continue.

The Deer Look Healthy


I've had my trail camera set up in the woods since the first of January and the deer are in good shape. Entering into February, the toughest month of the winter for deer here in southern Ontario, my trail cam pics show the deer looking pretty healthy.

Backyard Deer

The highlight of the month in June for me was the visits of a whitetail deer in my backyard. This doe would drop by in the morning or evening to check out the garden and bird feeder. She would then cross the street and disappear into a wooded area. I live in a subdivision and the neighbours had indicated that this doe was seen with a fawn.One day at noon, she was standing in the middle of our driveway as we drove in and of coarse we didn't have the camera with us. This is the second year she has returned to that section of woods for a birth site. I spend a lot of time in the woods a 1/2hr from home, watching, studying, hunting deer, so it's kind of funny to have one walking through your backyard. I'm looking forward to her return next year and will be ready with carrots and camera.
