Deer cam senses backyard visitor

Matt got suspicious that he may be getting some night time company near his Shakopee house so he set up his "truth cam", a handy-dandy motion-triggered digital camera. He mounted it on a tree by his deck and, sure enough, a nice-looking buck with a big rack came by for the photo op. Here are the print-outs. Matt is pointing to where the deer made his appearance.
How does the deer cam know the difference between Bambi and Rocky Raccoon? It doesn't. And Matt has the pix to prove it.
IN OTHER outdoors news, Wayne Kasich has returned from his deer shack near International Falls with a brief report that he has a deer but we'll have to wait for his pictures until he gets back from his trip to Florida to visit his daughter. Readers may recall seeing his deer shack in a previous post. He and his wife, Mary Ann, are going from that to South Beach for three weeks. Talk about readjustment.
