Hunting for…….

Back home again from a short snow break.

With a 850mm. lens loaded on my camera, I stayed one day in the small hunting cabin (left side of the picture), trying to photograph a wild animal in the snow.

It all started two days earlier with making preparations.
Every morning I laid apples and pears on the snowy ground in short distance to the cabin, trying to lure animals that are having hard times in the snow covered forest.

Every evening, all fruit was gone and eaten.
So the third day I went into the hunting cabin and waited……and waited…..and waited…..

Did it work ? Yes, it did.
I could shoot a wonderful animal that was very happy with the free fruits.
If you want to know what animal it was, then watch this space tomorrow…….

Location : Hertogenwald at Eupen (Belgium)

Un cliché magnifique de ces Hautes Fagnes enneigées, ensoleillées et où on peut faire de petites rencontres.....
Amitiés,

Eine wunderbare Winterlandschaft - der herrlich blau-weiße Himmel passt so wundervoll dazu und das Sonnenlicht verschönt diese Winterstimmung aufs Feinste!

LG!

That looks like some tight quarters Mark, I can't wait to see what you found in your photographic hunt, A nice shot of your encampment. The ground looks rather uneven and hard to traverse. With my medical condition I would have a difficult time just getting to the blind.
Kind Regards,
Howard

Your very cruel, Mark, but it is fascinating the way your are doing it and I am sure something nice will come out of it after a tremendous sacrifice. Jack
