We put up a “gate” this weekend at the property.  And by we, I mean my dad and Joshua.  I was busy reviewing trail camera footage.  More on that in a minute.

This is a temporary setup to try to deter unauthorized visitors.  But, between the medium-duty chain, the plastic sign, and the fact that there’s no lock, it’s basically Fort Knox.

Hopefully people will get the message.

Back to the trail camera.

The house cat made another appearance, as did the shaky branch.  We had a deer family and a squirrel.  I was about to report to the guys that there wasn’t anything exciting, when I came across this fella:

I wish I could share the video so you could see this creature in action.  He has a most unusual gait and what appears to be a large head.

I was pretty sure it was a wild boar, as our neighbor did mention she’s seen a few.

When the guys got back in the truck for lunch, I handed over my laptop for them to take a look.

About .283 seconds later, Josh said, “Um, that is an opossum.”

Just call me Bindi Irwin.
