Title: First Trail Cam ever (mystery animal)
Post by: Pazn25 on July 06, 2011, 10:10:06 PM: So i planted my trail cam for the first time 2 weeks ago and just went to get it on the 4th of july. I was pretty happy with the results, many deer and a few elk. No bulls or big bucks yet. For some reason the camera was open when i got to it and the last picture on it was the one of the stump and a little fur on the side. WHat are your thoughts on this mysterious animal that opened up my camera.

They opened it, put the card in their digital camera to see if there was anything there or pics of them, then put it back and left the lid open so they could walk in front of it. Lucky they didn't steal it. Also, could have been a bear; they love to monkey with trail cameras.

Time for a lock box before it's gone.......... A bear would more then likely been caught on camera messing with it.... They don't care.....
