Victure this
It would be difficult to name a day on which I have not spent at least some time observing wildlife or its habitat. Even when I need to be in town, I drive past a paddock and will notice the trail in the wet grass where a fox has crossed or I scan for tracks along steep escarpments to see if deer, pigs or other animals have regular paths they follow.
When I find promising signs or tracks, I often return at various hours of the day, until I physically see the animal that leaves the tracks. Well, in theory. Some species, like chital deer, are skittish in the open. Some avoid being spotted altogether by only moving after dusk.
If you know the area well, you may be able to ‘catch’ them at night with a flashlight, but the odds are stacked against you. If you are still keen to know what moves about the area then trail cameras, like the Victure HC300, are your best bet.
