The photo + video setting on the Spartan GoLive has huge advantages when trying to see the ENTIRE story. The original photo showed a doe standing there looking into the woods. When I requested the video, I caught the entire story.
Mom watching her twins running and playing, and a bonus when she joined in on the shenanigans!

If you watch closely towards the right in the beginning of the video, you can see the fawns running and playing.

This is also the first set of twins that I'm aware of in this area.

Any questions about any of the Spartan Cameras, feel free to send me a message.

This is why quality nutrition is so important to the overall health of your deer herd.

Let us help you achieve that with our consultations and by providing the best available.

That's why we use Grandpa Ray Outdoors Products!

Milk is the most expensive thing a doe's body makes all spring. Whatever she's eating gets converted straight into it, and the quality of that diet determines whether her fawns thrive or just survive.

Late gestation and nursing pull more out of a doe nutritionally than almost anything else she does all year. Her body is mobilizing minerals from her own skeleton to fuel milk production, the same way bucks pull minerals for antler growth. If the diet she's working with is thin, that mineral and protein drain has to come from somewhere, and her own body condition is often what pays for it.

This is also where dominance matters more than people realize. The healthiest doe family groups control the best food, water and bedding on a property. That access translates directly into earlier births, richer milk and faster-growing fawns. Subordinate does working lower-quality forage on the edges aren't just thinner themselves — their milk output reflects it, and their fawns show up smaller and slower to develop.

If you want bigger, healthier fawns by fall, the work happens in spring. Quality forage available when does need it most isn't a luxury planting. It's the difference between a fawn crop that thrives and one that just gets by.

There are times when neither a Game Warden or a PGC biologist are available to process a bear in a timely manner. In those instances the door will either be locked closed, or in this instance chained open so it can't close.
This bear will probably be back at a later date, but might be a little more cautious. Normally their curiosity and the lure of the donuts is hard to resist. lol

As some of you know, we have been assisting the PGC with their bear research trapping for the last few years by monitoring some sites with our Spartan GoLive cameras.
Sometimes we capture some pretty interesting, if not downright comical media.

Enjoy this clip from earlier today. We're thinking it may have been a circus bear in a prior life....🤣
