Hello All!

I had a visitor this morning:

https://kolico.ca/mpg/a-deer-VID_20210410_075723.mp4

There were actually two of them, but I only had the mind to try
and film something when the 1st one had already walked by.

Hahahaha that is great.

We have foxes and boars but they don't want to be filmed.

My higher vantage point (and dirty window) probably helped to
prevent the animal to notice me and get spooked. Wild deer,
unless they are feeding at a purposful feeding station, are hard
to film.

I have an old clip from the 80s where I filmed some things
around the farm early one foggy morning. And in EVERY scene that
had an animal, be it dog or bird, seemed to NOT want to be
filmed and just disappeared from the scene. That seemed pretty
funny to me. It was converted from its original 8mm to VHS, and
then I converted it suitable for DVD. I'll have to dig that up
and see if I could share the clip.

Meanwhile, I produced a smaller version of the deer clip, only
5MB, instead of 15MB.

960x540, Data Rate: 2462kbps

https://kolico.ca/mpg/a-deer-VID_20210410_960x540.mp4

I think it's a pretty good compromise without loosing the
smoothness of motion. The details of the wave motion in the lake
are still retained.

I'm impressed how some feature films that run 90 minutes look
good at 400MB in their mp4 recreations. I suppose they reduce
the data rate.

Ah.. a turkey with character. They are nomadic.. so it probably
found a new place to hang out when the food source dried up - or
it eventually went to seek the company of its own kind. I'd
usually see a bunch of them hanging out together and crossing
the backroads in my area.

my neighbor is a cop and he tried to shoot a raccoon that was destroying the roof of his porch. he got in trouble for discharging a firearm in city limits. he probably lied and said it attacked him. i saw the raccoon on my cameras this morning. it has a wound on his right hip but walks fine and eats fine.

there's a nature preserve near me and the DRN decided to introduce wild turkeys into a busy city. i didnt know turkeys could fly but they can and one time when i was snow blowing he attacked me because i was all bundled up. i had to take off my mask and hood and he recognized me and stopped.

I thought you were in NY. I have a friend that lives in Saratoga that has a cam in his back yard. He has all kinds of critters back there. Deer, racoons, fox just to name a few. ;-)

I wonder why it is cops who are always messing up with guns.

In the local target shooting club, it is always the cop who steal Santa Figurines and use them for target practice in CHristmas, or make illegal modifications in sporting guns and end up blowing their noses up :-(

I've imagined setting something up too. I'd love to have several

have full-time internet service.

i have his number so i sent him a pic of the raccoon. i dont think he liked that. i bought him some predator urine. he had a squirrel in a trap and i released it. ever since i let the squirrel go, he didnt trap any others.
i think they passed the word on

it is kind of scarey being attacked by a turkey because they do have those 2 inch spurs on their legs and they make themselves big and they fly right up into you.

OH! That's different. I thought you were being facitious.

Growing up on a farm, we'd feed the chickens and "talk" to them
while doing so. They'd get used to your voice or the sound of
the grain in the bucket.

May your turkey was a more visual kind of creature.

turkeys also can remember complex geography and information about it. if there is one week out of a year when there's some fruit bushes that are plentyful, that turkey will be there at the right time each year.

they're not stupid animals. i'm worried about the one i'm talking about because i havent seen him in a long time and the people around here are shitty.

I've had a recurring problem with skunks living under my house, a year ago, one of them got tracked inside by a raccoon and the skunk later died under
my house of its injuries. Worst smell ever.

I've managed it by, instead of throwing my dog's poop in the garbage can
after our walk, occasionally I'll leave one where they're coming into the basement area. Keeps them away.

Tough little critters, they keep tearing holes in metal screen foundation vents. I'm going to have to get solid metal vented plates and get one of
those one-way gated vents so I don't trap them underneath the house. I do
NOT want that experience again...

i've never seen a raccoon fight a skunk. usually raccoon just want food and dont have any conflict with any other animals.

get some coyote urine and mark the areas. that should keep the little critters away.

I assumed it was a raccoon, as they're small enough and brave enough around here to take one on.

Gophers are my next project. There's a power called Critter Ridder that's mostly capsaicin and cayenne pepper that is supposed to work well.

I've used mesh bags full of moth balls to keep them out. It usually
works unless they are in "ignore all" mode.

I once had a skunk that was walking around my driveway as I was
approaching it. I looked at it, it looked at me, I backed up, and the
skunk took off into my neighbors yard. Thank god!

Nice one. Quite relaxed, perhaps because it has not spotted you ;)

In my neighbourhood I see a lot of deers passing by.

Actually I helped small pack to get out from a dead end with fences to private plots that they tried to tresspass almost killing themselves while trying.

One morning I had a fun moment while checking post mail in the morning and on the road I saw 5 of them running on the street from right to left.

But deer is all cute and so freaking when they see/smell you that you barely have a chance to shake hand.

It's totally different game with boars and foxes I also spot occasionaly near by.
With these you must be careful and keep your distance.
