Trail Camera

Jann gave me a trail camera as a gift and after finally figuring out how to operate the thing, I was excited to put it out this spring. A road kill deer carcass provided the exciting potential to get some great pictures of scavengers and predators. I was thinking coyotes, foxes, even bears!

After a week, I retrieved the camera and found lots of dark pictures, with multiple glowing eyes of unknown origins peering out of the darkness. Oh, and my apologies to my Army son, Adam. The military time is off by 12 hours.

This pic is interesting though. Bottom two corners show something very black in definite form. Presumably a bear, very up close and personal.

It did take this picture of a doe in the morning dew and dawning sunlight.

But overall, I still prefer the pictures of wildlife I have been able to see and take myself.

Like of this deer trying to hide in the grass.

Or, this mama and baby bear!
