    What's brown and sticky?


    ... a stick.


    And I got about 3000 pics of said stick. Gah!!! I really have to get better at putting up cams.

    Anyhow, here a few pictures that were salvageable. (in the start, there's a dead jackrabbit in front of the camera)

    Right from the start, I had juniper twigs in front of the camera. LOL

    What's kind of weird is that the stick would be in front of the lens, then it would disappear for a few pics, then it would be back for a couple hundred pics... then gone... then back...

    It was a very active stick.

    Note to self: bring pruners next time.

    I've had crappy luck this year as well with things in front of the camera. Mostly weeds that didn't seem to be in the way at the time and they went through an over night growth spurt LOL!

    same problem. My buddy pulled my card for me last weekend; said I had 700 videos. He made it through the first 100 said only one was a deer. The rest were from a branch that partially broke and was swaying back and forth with the slightest breeze. Awesome.

    Don't feel too bad Christine, I was just out doin some scouting and walked past one of my cams and it wasn't even turned on. The door was open and everything, it's only been out for about a week though.

    What model is that? Beautiful day pics but there's not much flash range on the night pics. Maybe the batteries are getting weak?

    It's a 2012 mp6. Night pics are not its strong point but having the juniper twigs in front kind of screwed with the exposure. I got much better night pics from where I had it set up before.

    The batteries are still near 100% after about 4000 pictures.

    My goal now is to get some decent pictures of the ringtail cat.
    I think I'll be buying a flash covert next.

    Nice pics. Might be the first shot of a ringtail cat I've seen here. If I saw one, I wouldn't know what the hell I was looking at!

    I had to google it. Don't recall ever hearing of them before. Pretty neat critters.
