How well do you scrutinize your photos? Do you inspect every area of the photo to find out what tripped the camera when you have “blanks”? Often it is a bird, mouse or other small mammal but other times you just can’t tell what set the camera off.
Sometimes there are more critters than the one that tripped the camera.
I was going through some pretty bland (bad) photos of a couple blacktail does when I noticed that something changed between pictures. I backed up and took a closer look, then scrolled forward and I saw it again. Upon further review I noticed about 30 elk in the clear cut in the background.
This is one of the better pics of the does…I really should have deleted them but for some reason I went through them again. The red boxes are the areas where the below gif images (animations) are from. There were 11 photos of the does but the elk only moved on about half of them.
If you watch closely you can see about 6 elk in each animation.
