So I was excited to go get my trail camera today. I had left it out for nearly a month.

I got 2035 pictures of a tree branch that was pushed down by the weight of the snow in front of the lens!!!

Well at least you know with certainty what that tree is doing and when. You have it patterned.

Oh man! I’ve had that happen too! So excited and then the let down. Haha. Take a saw next time and whack that branch off for future soaks

Also been there. Underestimated the rate some grass grows. Cleared area in front of camera, left it a few months, first month or so, pics were great. Final month, grass had grown up, filled the card and burned out my battery.

Yes!

Even though I was hoping for better pictures, I am just glad no one stole my trail camera.

Mine have been up for 2 months yesterday, hoping to get to them tomorrow. Keeping fingers crossed they are still there and have good pics.

We have all had these results

. If had penny for every blade of grass or bush or branch that showed on our cams I would have a LOT more cams!! It is still just a lot of fun! You will know better next time or the next or....

The trail cam jitters

I remember not being able to leave my trail camera alone for more than a month. Now I only check once a year maybe twice if there’s something worth it

COOL, once I got 850 pictures of the wind moving the trees. Then some A-hole stole my camera.

At least you remembered to turn the camera on for the long deployments.

Glad you got it! I was worried I’d have to explain like I usually have to
