Yup, I'm still living out here in my coach. Started my third year here in September. I'm well set-up and quite comfortable. I will take some current pictures tomorrow and post them. It's about time I updated.

I said I will take some pics and post and I will but it will have to wait until the weekend. At this time of year up here it gets dark very early and is currently dusk when I get home from work.
I bought a new game camera last night that should take clearer and brighter night videos or pictures. After work tonight I swapped I swapped it into the location where I got those great cougar videos. I put the other one up the trail about 50 yards and closer to the trail. We'll see how they work out. Fun stuff. Like I said it is nearly dark when I get home so I rode my quad (oh yeah, I bought a quad) over to the cam location so as to make some noise, lol. After seeing those four cougars on video I am certainly more wary around here. I had a flashback to those old "Far Side" cartoons and thought there should be one showing four cougars sitting around checking the pictures and videos on their "human" camera! Hey, look at this idiot- Dinner time! HaHaHa!

By the way, for those interested I own three game cameras now. The one that took those cougar videos is a Bushnell Trophy Cam HD Aggressor No Glow (nearly invisible infrared light system). My new camera is a Trophy Cam HD Essential which is classed as a low glow camera I believe. The infrared bulbs clearly glow red when the camera is taking video or a picture. Wildlife can see this glow and will sometimes spook them but the picture quality and infrared coverage is better. Camera placement is a big factor. My third game camera is the one I bought first a couple of years ago. It is a Moultrie--880 I think. It is doing a terrific job as a security camera out by my front gate. It is well hidden but placed very strategically so that it even can grab license plate numbers of vehicles near my gate.

Apparently I have missed posting stuff to this blog. I hope Scott doesn't mind. I bought my own website and tried to transfer everything over but it wasn't working out too well. Let's wing it still on this one, shall we? smile

Ok, I promised you some current pictures so I took some today but first I want to show you a picture of a massive cougar that was hunted down and killed very close to my place only a couple of weeks ago. I saw one of my neighbours on my access road when I was coming back from the city today and stopped to talk to him. I told him about my cougar videos and he showed me this on his ipad. This beast was taken down just south of the highway from my access road. It is eye-popping huge!! 181 lbs.

Yup, I'm going to get the license needed for a gun. It's time.

I jumped on my quad and headed over to my game cameras and pulled the SD cards. No action on the cards really but I adjusted the location of one. Pics....

Look for the camera in this pic

That is my new one that I placed in the same spot as the other one that took the cougar videos.

This is my new quad I bought back in the spring as a "end of alimony" gift to myself. It is a 2016 Yamaha Grizzly Special Edition. I changed up the tires to Kenda Bearclaw HTR radials after purchase. It is a very nice machine. smile
