The last week of every month is take down week, i.e. we remove all cameras, bait, and snares. It’s supposed to be the shortest week of the month, but losing two days set us back. Rolling up our sleeves and hiking up our boots, we set to work to make up for the lost time by attempting to take down more than four sites each day, working through the weekend, and battling icy roads, downed trees and power lines, and yet more weather-related setbacks.
The storm transformed our sites into a glass-encased natural wonderland – it was stunning! It also presented new challenges and lessons. Landmarks used to lead us to our cameras, i.e. “camera situated just beyond large fallen oak” or “hang a right after the pile of debris at left of trail,” etc., were not terribly useful after a major storm. The entire landscape changed.
