Dad and I were putting the trail camera back out, checking the amount of apples on the trees and looking for signs of deer around the sky condo. Dad had cleared away some brush and random limbs and he cut down the tree that prevented me from shooting the deer that he shot last October. We were checking out the area and decided to get a better view - from our sky condo. There are 12 steps from the ground to the floor of the condo. I was 3 from the top when I saw what looked like poop next to me seat. Then there was another pile and another in the corner! Dad climbed up to get a look at the shooting lanes and the reminisce of our squatter. There was some wood chewed from the corner of the wall near where I sit and the roof which surprised us since its treated wood. Dad said its a porcupine (or a raccoon) but either way, it needs to go away before I climb up to my sky condo at 5am in Oct. No surprises please.
Any ideas how we can keep the squatters out? Dad wants to put plexi glass up around the condo but Im boycotting. Im not letting him go soft yet - its bad enough I bought him a heater. But, ideally, we will shoot that huge buck that keeps showing up on the camera in October and be done(or have the pressure off us) for the rest of the season.
I still have a few trail cameras out to see what the deer are up to. I have gotten pictures of the big buck that is around and most recently, I got these pictures. Normally, I wouldn't be too freaked out but now that we have a dog, it is a little unnerving. Add that this camera is about 50 feet from our lawn and less than 100 feet from our front door... I hope that this one is just passing through. (Sidenote: I put new batteries in this camera so the date and time are wrong BUT I walked in front of it so it would take my picture and I could figure out what the actual time and date were: 7am Saturday morning.)
