Got some visitors at the watering station a few days ago…
Even with the few stills the game camera gave me – which prompted me at last to come back yesterday afternoon with the manual to re-adjust the camera settings – it was clear these little guys were having a really good day. Put me in mind of…
Don’t know who the guy on the horse is but from the rig and the dogs I’m thinking he’s most likely involved with the cattle operation that holds the grazing lease. Also he came back the next day…
…along with wide truck tracks right to the station. So maybe our cattle-free period is coming to an end. Or maybe he was just checking the infrastructure. The pump’s still turned off as of yesterday afternoon.
One brief coyote shot…
And some old guy passing through.
Great set of photos. Looks like the cattle wrangler has a sense of humour.
As for the old guy passing through…
With spear in hand, possibles bag hanging from the shoulder and a hand cannon on the belt, it looks like the “old guy” is ready for anything from coyotes to woolly mammoths.
That’s delightful, Joel, good to see that your watering station is well used. That cattle wrangler looks like a friendly fella too. Maybe he could help with the persistent cattle.
The cattle guy is a cattle teen, I put him at about 18 or 19. Get to know him, never know when you may need assistance or can give some.
