    Looks like someone was having fun with my camera. I'm thinking coon or opossum. at about 30 seconds you'll see his friend hanging out in the tree.

    That's pretty funny. I wonder if they smelled something on the camera.

    Neat video. Later in the clip there is a third one behind the one laying on the branch. You can see its eyes back in the leaves.

    The Old Man - you are right. I missed it before but at 1:00 you see the tail hanging down.

    I figure there was a whole conversation with the lazy one just egging the other one on.

    I went to check one of my cams one time that was strapped to a tree and found it laying on the ground...... to say the least I had about 50 pics of coons taking it down and starring at it!

    damn. I have had coons crawl up the tree over the camera, but never messed too much with them. I am sure it helps over 4 years I live trapped 75 of them bastards between my farm and my inlaws a half mile away.

    Agree. I'm wondering if something wasn't trying to get the coons. Maybe a dog?
