May / June Geneseo TC pics

[fasteddie]

I swapped out the SD cards in 4 cameras I have in Geneseo this past Saturday . I was surprised to get a pic of a Red Fox with dinner in his mouth .  One of the cameras was loaded with ants . Enough whereby the camera quit .

It appears that the deer and the horseback riders coexist quite nicely. I would have thought that the horses and riders would have had the deer a little more  screwed up as far as walking around the same area in the daylight.

The deer on our farms are used to the horses as well. I get pics all the time of the horses being ridden by and deer right there shortly after.

 

Funny story, last year on a fox hunt, the farm manager had a doe run right into her horse. The deer ended up dead, and she was lucky the horse didnt throw her.

There are some overgrown fields in the area ( high grass ) . A horse rider once told me that when he would ride the trail through the high grass occasionally a bedded deer would stand up , look and lay back down . Some trails get cut through these field for the GVHC when they chase the fox on horseback using dogs .

I often thought it would be neat to hunt deer on horseback ......

That thought was running through my mind too. Could that be construed as violating rules of fair chase? ....lol. It certainly would be legal (not a motorized vehicle), and if the deer are becoming accustomed to horses and horseback riders, given the right conditions, it could almost seem like cheating.
