If you like railroad live cameras, here's a worldwide list. I don't immediately find the one I saw a while back that was on an engine in Scandinavia. It might be in there.

Check out the tunnel at 30:44 to 34:54.?ÿ At a good speed that's a LOOOONG tunnel.

Too long to get stuck in, that's for sure. I was wondering how the tunnel was constructed, no arches, apparently, just a "primitive" methodology?ÿ through solid "rock"? ?????ÿ

I passed these deer cams onto my deer loving buddy and Wendells BFF.
He has tons of deer in his yard that he feeds daily. ?????ÿ

The difference is the squirrel is only after my useless old nuts.?ÿ The deer eats away at my profits.?ÿ When I drive past a field planted to something like soybeans and there are about one deer per acre eating the pretty, green plants it is a significant loss.?ÿ They do not recover, like grass in the yard.?ÿ The plant dies if bitten off low enough.?ÿ Later, when in full bloom, eating half of the leaves results in half the production.?ÿ Vermin.

@holy-cow?ÿ

I didn't consider the agricultural aspects prior to posting, y'all got deer we got wild hogs, and understand your concern ($$$$). The only encounter I have had with wild animals that was a financial PITA involved our furry tailed rats called squirrels. (see my other ancient posts). After several unpleasant encounters with those flea infested beasts over 10+ years, umm, and some silly complaints to our local Law Enforcement Agency from a nosey neighbor constantly griping about shotgun/RPG noise etc. we have called a Truce (not the neighbor, the Head Squirrel) to wit: I won't shoot you: You stay out of my attic. It's worked so far...... ?????ÿ

One day this past week I walked up to a fence corner post that was supposed to have a 60D nail in the top as a reference to a quarter corner.?ÿ The post was almost an empty shell of its former self.?ÿ Looked down to see if I could find a nail in the rotten wood only to see two little eyeballs staring back at me from about eight inches below the top.?ÿ A very confused mouse wondering who or what was blocking his view of the sky.?ÿ That was a first.

@holy-cow?ÿ

When doing measurements on family land I used a headless nail in a post and 5/8-11 bolt with a hole bored through it to hold the GPS antenna.?ÿ I pulled the nail afterward out of fear that an animal might injure itself on it (particularly a horse).?ÿ?ÿ I also worried about creating a place for water to start rotting the post.

Do you have either of those worries?

@bill93?ÿ

No.?ÿ I really don't.?ÿ If I had high-dollar racehorses like my daughter's mother-in-law that are rarely out of a small paddock I might think about it more.?ÿ There are so many more potential hazards in typical pasture land that this would be a very minor concern.

This time of year a common hazard to animals and humans is the accumulation of large leaves over a hole, ditch or any depression such the that leaves make the appearance of a level surface.?ÿ Stepping into one of these areas at slow speed is bad enough.?ÿ People running or animals frollicking around could end up with a broken leg or dislocated hip or worse.?ÿ Any sharp or pointy object buried a few inches below ground can create major problems to feet or hooves if the ground becomes very soggy allowing contact between the soft appendage and the sharp or pointy object.?ÿ This is especially common at the edge of sloughs and small streams and ponds where the foot could slide downward more than 12 inches in an instant putting a heavier than normal load on the foot.
