Title: My longest camera soak yet!
Post by: PastorJoel on March 06, 2019, 02:16:01 PM: 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!!! :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Yes! :chuckle:

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