Are you sick of trail cam pics yet?

I'm running a little bit late tonight because I just finished hot water processing 5 pints of spaghetti sauce from the 6 lbs of ripe tomatoes that were sitting on my counter. I took a little taste as I was pouring it into the jars and it was so yummy! I have another bunch of tomatoes still ripening on the counter, and when those are ready, they're going to be turned into salsa. We're coming to the end of the season in the garden, but I have tons of apples getting ripe on the trees, so my canning and preserving is just beginning. It will be nice to have some homemade treats to give as Christmas gifts this year.

Back to the trail cameras....... We checked on both of them yesterday afternoon when we were down putting up the last tree stand. No photos of that legendary 12-point buck, but there were a couple surprises. Can you tell what this is? (click to enlarge -- that might help)
I had to magnify the picture to almost 120% in Photoshop and get Mr. Johnson over to help me identify this coonhound. He's kind of turned funny and looking off to his right. Note the time on the bottom of the photo and this will help you figure out what he's looking at when you see the next picture below.......
A big doe coming towards the coonhound. I'm glad this hound wasn't a deer chaser.

Here's a nice shot of a pair of camo-clad lunatics looking for evidence of deer tracks. Isn't it amazing what some people do for fun??

On our other camera we captured this group of juvenile delinquents out eating soybeans in the middle of the night. I was amazed to see these little guys are still pretty spotty.

Turns out they're not delinquents after all because it looks like Mom wasn't very far away.

I love this picture! That deer looks fake doesn't it? Like maybe someone took a deer head that had been mounted by a taxidermist and just held it in front of the camera (if you click to enlarge, it almost looks like she's smiling!)

But just to show she's not a fake deer, we also got this nice, full body shot. Don't you just love their ears?

That's it for now. Headed off to knit a couple rows and then it's lights out!
