This morning I got got dressed watched some TV ate some breakfast while watching TV then I got ready and left for dads place.
It was sunny and cold out. When I was on my way to dads place I stopped and looked over the bridge to see if the otter was down in the pool below the bridge. I did not see it so I went onto dads place.
Once I got there I went up stairs and got on the computer for a little while. Then I went down stairs (after I was done on the computer) and did some stuff in my room for a little while.
A while later it was time to eat lunch. Rowan had made the lunch this time, so I came up out of my room and went into the kitchen, and sat at the table with Rowan and waited for dad to come down stairs and eat. Once he was in the kitchen we ate lunch.
After lunch I went into my room for a few minutes then I got my trail camera and went up Gavan hill to set it up.
On my way up the trail I saw some deer tracks that had been made with in the last day or so (since I had been up there the day before last and had not seen the tracks). I went off the trail and started following them through the deep snow. They went up and around through a kind of muskegy area. Then they intersected with another set of what looked like fairly fresh tracks and I was temped to follow the other set of track (since they did not appear to be doing small loops every so often and going through thick trees branches and brush) but something told me to stay on the set that I had been following, so I did and a little while later I had gotten to a creek in the edge of the forest and I was getting ready to creek it when I heard some crashing in the brush just a little ways away. I looked up and few a few seconds I saw a big deer moving through the semi out forest. I watched it go up a small hill then disappear into the forest. I then crossed the creek and went to look for it’s tracks. I was able to find them and I was able to follow them for a little while, but I was never able to catch back up to the deer. I followed the tracks around and then I ran into a spot where I was not sure where the fresh tracks went because there were other tracks around there. I had gotten on a set of tracks that I thought might have been fresh from the deer that I saw, but if they were the deer had just done one big loop because I ended up back where I had first seen the deer, so I just went and set up my trail camera and headed home.
Once I got home I when up stairs and did a few things on the computer for a little while then I left to do my paper route.
When I was on my paper route I saw and took some pictures of a river otter just below the road bridge. After I was done with my paper I headed home.
Once I got home I did some stuff in the living room then I went p stairs and did a few things on the computer then I started doing this blog.
- Question where did the deer go?
- Question did it really double back and just go in one big loop?
- Question was the deer that I saw the same one that had left the tracks that I had ben following when I saw it?
