Pay attention to the "V" form by the sticks to the left of the buck in the 1st photo; especially the left fork of the "V" which I estimate to be over 3 +1/2 feet off the ground. In the second picture (duck) taken Sunday at 1:15pm in Orange County, NY, the left side of that "V" has almost dissapeared under water. The water was a inch or two shy of the camera which was 4' off what was dry ground before the storm. This set does sit 35 ft from a creek.
BTW, can anybody identify these waterfowl that just showed up?
