elk messing with trail camera

[Bigbuckoholic]

I just checked a cam today that I've been battling cows rotating the camera. I put that thing about 12 feet up on the tree this time angled down. If they some how touch it again I give up haha.

Somewhere I have a series that I've posted here before.....   Cow elk walking toward camera.....licking camera.....   nosing camera...... knocking camera (on stake) over.......   dropping elk pellets on camera.    There's literally a shot of the sphincter opening.... and then a shot of pellets on the way down......

I've got a five point bull that is in love with my camera!

Mine was beaten on this year abit. When I got to the cam on my last check it was open and had elk hair in it and on it. I did get a picture of the suspect. Elk and bears mess with them a lot.

Elk and bears are definitely the worst. I spray all mine with scent blocker now. Seems to help alot.

So what is it about the trail cams that the elk like ?  I have all of the pictures everyone is talking about, I have one velvet antlered bull that makes his tines look like an X-Ray of it. Pictures of the lens all steamed up from them breathing on it. I was curious if it is the in fared flash or maybe the smell of the batteries   

Sure it puzzling though, I have the cams bolted to the tree or I think they would have knocked it off already.
