Deer Walking On A Game Trail
This trail camera captured a deer walking on a game trail in the dead of winter. Game trails are created by the frequent passing of animals which ends up leaving a trail in the wild. Hunters use these game trails to track different types of animals depending on the markings that are left on the trail.
Wild animals love to follow trails just as humans do, as it is easier for them to navigate and they remember the surrounding area. Certain predators, such as the snow lynx, will wait on game trails knowing that eventually, some prey will come trotting down the path.
