Hi all, just compiled the trail camera pictures and data from a 6 week deployment ---- Feels like I need to add a few more cameras to this location to better track movements.
The breakdown:
Sundays: 15
Mondays: 10
Tuesdays: 5
Wednesdays: 10
Thursdays: 1
Fridays: 15
Saturdays: 11
Find it interesting why Tuesdays and Thursdays get so little activity. Maybe deer day at Canadian Tire?
Only 1 visit on a Thursday in a 6 week period. Wonder if there is elevated logging/traffic activity on that day or something -- know that drops off [logging] on the weekend, hence more camera activity(?).
The next check should be in 2.5 weeks [5 week session] and by then I should be able to "name" the specific deer(s). Already the "big split guard one" I can ID has shifted to a midnight-2am visit. So need to find where he hangs during the day.
A few fires are in the area and more traffic is on the roads fighting the fires, so not sure if that will alter behaviour on this current session. Hope the firefighters are safe.
You all seen any similar trends in your monitoring?
Currently I think there are 4/5 bucks and 1 doe in this area -- but hard to ID the doe(s), so difficult to say.
Cheers, VFX
