Not sure what to make of the chair on a big foot shelter. Which came first. I will say neither were there when we passed through the channel the first time.
A white vehicle drove by slowly this weekend while we were there. Based on the official vehicle identification, "Jacques" was looking in the right area.
I looked for hair and prints. The ground there is not good for prints. Did not come up with any hairs. Nothing to take fingerprints off either. I was also getting a sense that I should probably stay away from that area as well. I also did not have another apple to offer. I know better than that. I am no rookie.
Good move. I would clear out all the leaves and branches around tree so I could see possible Apple eaters footprints. If anybody has time before it gets dark I would perform this simple task. JMO BMR and myself have discussed Crypto events many times. I believe your group may be feeding him too much Bourbon for him to set up bait staition properly before sunset. JMO
While up north today we had a solid discussion with researcher Bassmaster. As I've mentioned before, he is considered the "Jacques Lafluer" of Wisconsin.
Pic of "Jacques" after setting a juicy Ambrosia apple 8ft up on the side of a Hemlock tree. We will see if it is taken tonight. Hopefully some footprint impressions from the "big fella" are found in the morning.
