Caught on the Game Camera —- Tuesday, May 28, 2024

Posted on by

I’ve been having a bit of a problem with the raccoons—so I put out a game camera to see what I could see–

No, raccoons, but a darling Mom and her little one moving through the farm as the full moon sang to Earth among the million stars dotting the dark blue sky.

So cute!  (They don’t eat my flowers (so far) I only plant things they don’t like.  Therefore, I get the thrill of tiny hoof prints in the soil.

Your friend on a western Colorado farm,

  1. I live not too far from Vallecito and the only way to have a garden is with a 6′ high fence. Without a fence, if the deer or bears don’t trash it, the elk will. At 7400′, another problem is the occasional (every third year, or so) June freeze. Before the fence I used to say that the only way to eat my garden produce was to eat the deer that ate my vegetables. We have lots of deer unless the mountain lion is around; then they vanish for a couple of days. That’s when we keep close rein on our 2 Siberian huskies. We’ve seen lions from our living room and one killed a calf elk 100 yards from the house. Your Uncompahgre Plateau is known for lions.

      • Wolves are going to be rough on the elk, the deer and the ranchers. It is unfathomable that a big city on the Plains could shove that down our throats. Unfortunately, rural Colorado has absolutely no say in this state anymore and rural America is getting hammered by the urban dominated governments. I’m sure you want to keep politics out of your blog. It’s hard, though.

  3. I’m glad your deer don’t like the flowers you plant and leave them alone. I’ve been growing roses more than 50 years and it’s hard to give them up. But we have fewer and fewer every year.
