Welcome to the project!
Some photos and notes from the field.
With the arrival of spring, collaring efforts have followed the deer onto the mountain tops. This makes for extra walking, but some great views.
I set this hide up next to a feeding station so that the deer would come within darting range. I've spent many chilly hours sitting in this hide waiting for deer. Through the camouflage netting you can see a feed trough, raised to keep sheep out of the deer food. The post has a mineral block hanging from it to make sure there's always something there for the deer. The post also has a camera trap on it so I can see when the deer typically visit and make the most of my time there.
Wrapped up warm waiting for deer. In some ways I'm glad that the weather is warming up (my toes appreciate it!), but it does mean the deer are less likely to visit my feeding stations.
There was a lot of snow there for a while.
Pushing the daylight.
