Not sure what is causing the camera to trigger @theotherfarm, but from what I can tell, that farm is not nearly as active as my place over the last 8 hours.

Happening now:

@HOME

Hang in there Denny.... Looks cold... I just was outside and it's pretty balmy here...In fact rained all night and 90% of the snow is gone...

 

[Wildlife]

She's warming up and I'm gearing up to go have fun with her Can never take the kid out of me, noway no how!

Donut city, here we come

No more deer activity since my last post within a different thread. I am however still getting from the other farm, but I never see any , so IDK what's goin on.

 

[Wildlife]

Epic fail, forgot to turn off TC.

Try again on the way back

4:45PM, Friday, December 23, 2022: 'Evening Feeding Takin Place'

He's been feeding since 4:39PM

Still nothing happen that I can tell @theotherfarm even though I recieved several photos today. I believe that place had more like blizzard conditions than what we experienced here today.

Hope some are appreciating this information. I'm doing this for those that are still at it because I want you to be successful. Good luck to yous'!

 

[Wildlife]

Okay, it's been over a solid hour of multiple deer @thefeedstation. Not so much @thewesternstand yet.

There is definitely somethin goin on with the camera @theotherfarm. Moisture that froze on the camera possibly?, IDK, but I do not believe I'll be getting any clear images from that location until the temps rise some and things hopefully begin to thaw. We'll see what happens. Never done this before.

I be continuing to monitor this storm, right along with the deer in the area and how they're managing.

Sometime after the storm passes, I'll collect and compile all the TC data that's before, during and after the storm, toss them into a video format, and then share it on my YouTube channel. It will be much like the one I did for the February 22 ice storm.

If anything else significate happens before I go to bed tonight, I'll report back, otherwise, I hope everyone stays nice and warm tonight.

Good night all!

Rather disappointed that this got no responses of any sort from anyone here, geez-wiz, what a tough crowd around here to amuse.

Anyhow, after I made the video, I texted it to the wife. I had no idea nor did I ever expect for her to share it on any of her social media accounts, Well, she did share it, and I noticed earlier this morning the number of views and likes it generated on my channel. I was a little bit surprised to see that amount of activity regarding that video and wondered where the heck all that traffic came from. Come to find out, most of it came from FB. So, I cared to share a snapshot of that post with you all. Some of the comments are truly classic, which mainly came from family members that know me all to well from back in the day. My wife is still learning just who the hell I really am and I'ma lovin it

Denny.. They are there.. Just hunkered down...

What ever happened to the idea of you running a live cam? I think that would generate a ton of views/traffic.

 

[Wildlife]

Denny.. They are there.. Just hunkered down...

Appreciate it, Rich, thanks!

To be clear, I wish nothing but very good things for all members and it just so happens that this is where I landed for any kind of personal information shared through any kind of social media outlet on the web. I'm not part of any of those others except boobtube, and that's because I share videos. I've been a Google user ever since it first became available and that account of mine has never changed, and that goes for my cellphone number for both personal & work too.

Look, I like most you guys, especially the ones that I got to meet personally. I hope that some might possibly think that I bring good things to this place, occasionally anyways

Anyhow, this is clearly a simple observation and fact that I shared. I can live with it and have no personal grudges whatsoever. I'm just letting it be known that I took notice.

If I ever get to the point where all of this is a utter waste of my time, then you can bet that I'll fade off into that internet abyss and very soon forgeten about I'm sure.

Getting there. It'll happen

 

[Fletch]

Denny... I personally find your posts very informative and enjoy reading... I'll glance over them quick throughout the year, then I'll sit down with a nice big pour of bourbon and read them from start to finish... Keep up the good work....

4:00PM, Saturday, December 24, 2022: 'Tactacam REVEAL X @theotherfarm Update'

During the 8 o'clock hour, I was beginning to make out images of deer. Pretty much all day yesterday and most definitely last night, all night, that camera was going off, taking pictures and sending them, however, none of the images were viewable because I believe the weather conditions that occurred at the particular spot, which is basically facing directly into the entire path the artic blast that comes off the cornfield. I believe crystal ice & snow developed over the camera lense during those super subzero temperatures with the brutal winds.

Anyhow, there were some nice deer activity there throughout the day too, all in perfect daylight, and I believe the area will get hit hard again during the last hour of daylight. If so, you can expect a follow-up.

 

[Wildlife]

All feed sites have been busy non-stop pretty much all day and continues to be at this very moment.

Below are samples since my last post of deer today.

I still believe that tomorrow is going to be a good day to be out. It may be a bit chilly, but with hardly any wind. I can deal with those conditions myself today.

Finally, from my family to yours, we wish you the best Christmas ever!

Merry Christmas to all of 'TOO'ville!

 

[Wildlife]

Just got home from FIL's annual adult x-mas get-together, and I have to say, the family must still love me cause I made out like a bandit once again. I'll share what I got if or when someone creates such thread this year.

Anyhow, I still have deer just goin nuts today, trying to eat every bit of food that I laid out and made available for them. All feed sites are still active with deer.

More examples below, which is not all the TCs captured this evening, just a few to show the different times of activity.

We've had deer at all fed sites continuously since 12/23/22 Saturday. This harsh winter artic storm has been hard on them, but they seem to be doing just fine as long as they have adequate access to food, otherwise they may starve being that everything has been frozen rock solid since Thursday midnight, the 21st.

To our niece, her verison. BTW, she loves wildlife and our place as well.

Merry Christmas!
