The closers shall be the spirit animal of this half of CTC, the gray fox.
Very common to the Northern California camera trapper, these guys are usually the first to the scene, eager to sniff and rub any foul scent concoction laid down by naturalist/fauna.
This set had foxes coming in for a drink
Foxes screaming
Foxes leaping, running and knocking the camera 'round
One thing that would be neat to capture is their true leaping and climbing ability. Gray foxes have been observed to jump 4 feet high from a standing position, and have been seen denning 30 feet high high in trees.
Perhaps a goal for this season of trapping !
Hearing those noises out there, I would never have guessed they were coming from foxes. I hope I can remember your video if I ever do hear it.
ReplyDeleteNice. What's the clattering noise? A lock? Or a mounting strap dangling?
ReplyDeleteMy guess would be a secondary lock that I put on the door... I am having trouble visualizing this set atm...
