Turkeygirl Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Awesome photo! My guess would maybe be a flying squirrel...or a bat...but I'd guess flying squirrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikewink Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I'm guessing this little guy to be about 2 1/2. Maybe 3 1/2. The deer that is. I'm not very good at guessing the age of flying squirrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250savage Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I've had a similar thing happen with my cam and i'm pretty sure its just a bug or a bat that happend to be flying by when the pic was taken. its wings are beating so fast that it looks like its longer than it actually is. or it could be a flying squirrel, that'd be a possibility as well.

shedhunternick Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 they had a Monsterquest episode on those things, theyre called "rods" which were believed to be flying monsters flying at over 200 mph. what it actually is is a moth flying by as the camera is taking the pic. look up rods on the internet if you have any questions lol. nice buck too btw.

mikewink Posted September 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 An arrow from a poacher flying towards your super nice buck. Actually that is what I first thought too! That would suck. :gun1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Interesting. I'd guess bug or maybe one of those twirling leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Definitely a flying fish. No doubts about it. I was thinking walleye. Least that's the first thing that came to mind from that ink blot.:hammer1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 That buck has got some serious junk growing off his head! As for the object, clearly a guardian angel, so you stand no chance of taking him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Interesting. I'd guess bug or maybe one of those twirling leaves. Yep, falling leaf. Much closer to the camera, gives the illusion it is bigger than it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 After seeing this on one of the rod links I'm beginning to lean that way. It is definately not above the deer but closer to the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Awesome photo! My guess would maybe be a flying squirrel. Ditto...I've gotten quite a few of those this year too. Wasn't sure either until I got some clear pics of them when they weren't airborne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
