fishing n autograph Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) Hey All, So my daughter woke up this morning at 4AM and didn't want to go back to sleep, so my wonderful wife was kind enough to drop her off at her mother's place so that I could get some sleep after she left for work this morning. This gave me enough time to start my Xmas shopping and I was able to escape to a local trail that I had never been on. Overall I was a little perterbed by the significant lack of wild life on this trail...... Here are a few shots that I took....keep in mind I'm getting used to the camera and i suffer from some bad camera shake. I heard it through the grapevine that santa is dropping off a tripod for me at my parents place Lots of ruin and old buildings in this area.... This Mallard decided to float by me on the river Edited December 4, 2008 by FishnNAutographs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leecher Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 not sure, i'm not a hunter so i don't exactly know what a rub looks like The tree in the forefront has a beige spot that looks like a deer rubbed it's antlers on it.... but could be mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitespinnerbait Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) The tree in the forefront has a beige spot that looks like a deer rubbed it's antlers on it.... but could be mistaken The deer must have a square head ,cause the SPOT is awfully square looking to be a RUB Edited December 5, 2008 by Whitespinnerbait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing n autograph Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 The tree in the forefront has a beige spot that looks like a deer rubbed it's antlers on it.... but could be mistaken it's a strong possibility. I was in an area which is creeping close to what's called the "Conestoga Corridor" which is a part of the Grand River Valley that runs on the north end of Waterloo and the surrounding edges of Kitchener. According to the GRCA the corridor is home to approximately 150-200 adult white tails.... I've seen a few large bucks and does but they were closer to the village of Conestogo..

NAC Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 All the wildlife hangs out closer to the river near the lower trail. Too much traffic on the upper. I used to run theat trail 3 days a week from the Lanc parking lot to Bingemans and back. Nice inner city escape and if you time it right, there is a gold mine of fiddleheads in the area.

fishing n autograph Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 yea, i've come to appreciate what the grand river offers....lots of wild life to see if you're lucky, however, like i said, other than a pair of cardinals and the ducks there was nothing to be seen. I was even hoping for a rabbit or two lol... i've come across more deer along the RIM park trail on the north end of Waterloo by the golf course than the Bingemans area....

Cool than it just might be one If there is that many deers and you've seen a few, be on the look out next time you go back..... you might even come accross deer scrapes on the ground.
