New Camera Pics............5-24-09................
« on: May 25, 2009, 12:43:58 PM »
Hey guys...finally sorted through the 1000+ pics and here is what we got.
When we hiked up to get the camera i was not happy to see it was laying about 3 feet from the tree we put it on just 8 days ago, on the ground and broke off of the strap. :yike:
It had some claw/teeth marks on it and a small puncture near the display screen. :yike:
I then took a look around as my heart started to race.
I checked out the terrain around me and it had definitely had a lot of action.  
the salt lick had been chewed on and moved and the buck/doe feed was almost completely gone.
As i scrolled through the pictures, the story unfolded.

On the last night the camera was up one of the bears decided he didn't like his picture taken anymore and ripped our cam off of the tree.  As it sat below the tree it took about 350 pics of the sky. :chuckle:

The cam still works great and nothing was broken that cant be fixed, but i think we are going to "bear proof" it for next time.

photo and animal count:
we had about 450 of actual animals  :IBCOOL:
we had about 650 of trees moving and shaddows :bash:
1 coyote
4 muledeer (1 doe and 3 bucks)
2 bears (one small and one bigger)
1 cow elk

I am officially hooked on this hobby..... :drool: :hello:
enjoy the pics guys..
