Spy Cam – June 2022

Black Coyote: Steve and Mary Vollrath, GON subscribers from East Dublin, submitted this image captured on Sept. 2, 2020. According to experts, black coloration in coyotes is rarely seen except in the Southeast. It is likely a genetic mutation trait that found its way into the coyote gene pool through hybridization breedings with dogs.

A Battle He’s Never Going To Win: Barth Cadenhead, of Warner Robins, got this image on March 18 from a trail-camera at his Crawford County food plot. “This bluebird sees himself in the camera lenses and thinks it is another male invading his breeding area during mating season,” Barth said.

Make No Mistake… Cats Are Predators, And Very Good At It: John LaVecchia sent this trail-camera photo of a healthy-looking Twiggs County bobcat that hasn’t missed many meals lately.

That Explains Those Jacked-Up Antlers: You see a velvet buck with a damaged rack and think… did he catch it in a fence, run into a tree? How about a well-placed blow from another buck’s hoof! GON subscriber Jackie Burdette got this photo in Franklin County.
