My Dog tree'd a critter last night
Last night my Australian Kelpie goes nuts at the door. I figure it's the typical fox and hound games, but after she takes off, I hear scurrying up a tree at the edge of the front yard (25m away). Thankfully my dog kicks ass and came right back to me waiting at the door. I keep her in while I shine the spotlight, I'm thinking another raccoon if we're lucky, but we have had a little 2-3 year old black bear hanging around this week. Sure enough a minute later I hear more scurrying coming down. This bear hops out of the tree and into the woods.
My trail cam happened to be pointed right at that area and it was on video setting. This morning I check and no bear in the clip. Much to my surprise, the next thing caught on film 3 hrs later was mountain lion sauntering down my driveway. We always assume they are there watching us, but this was a nice reminder. I figured my basset hound would be all over the yard picking up scents, No he is out making his normal rounds like there is nothing out there he doesn't smell every day.
If anyone knows how to post AVI format video let me know.
