    I finally was able to get to my cams after three months. The snow was still very deep in spots and it was very difficult to navigate some areas but I managed to git-r-done. Honestly there weren't that many good photos. The snow was just too deep for the game to be traveling their normal routes. Anyway, here's a few.

    Now I don't normally post pics of coons cause I hate them things but this pic gives an idea of just how deep the snow is. The cam is about 48 inches off the ground and the coon is almost even with it.

    No animals in this scene but a beautiful pic nonetheless.

    Great pics Jim. From that coon pic, it looks like it must have been real treat going out and checking your Cameras. I really like that third pic though.

    I did not have any of them out during that period. I had swapped cards in the others in December and had planned to put the homebrews out after the season ended but I was never able to get back in there until yesterday. Even yesterday, the snow was still three feet deep in places.

    Great pics, Pastor Jim. I love snow pics.

    This year we had above average snow for East TN. Had one snow about 7", another about 5", and another about 2" and a few dustings. None bad enough to prevent me from checking cams.

    Jim, I'm guessing you are in the northern part of the state?

    Yep! Funny thing is, where I live -Marion- there is no snow. But I hunt about an hour north of here near Columbia City and up there the snow is three foot deep in places.

    It's amazing how vastly different things are in Indiana right now between the north and the south parts of the state. Most of the ponds/pits/lakes down here are open, yet guys up north are still seeing more than a foot of ice.
