Too cool! Do you run cameras on your traps? Curious how much they would actually effect them. I always run a camera and have had many coyotes stare directly at the camera. Never had one even stick his nose in the trap yet.
I have noticed with my IR night set up that some animals will react when I shine the IR flashlight in their direction. I can not see it at all, but they apparently can see at least some part of that spectrum.
Same with my trail cam with it’s IR. I can not hear anything coming from it even with electronic muffs turned up, but some critters react to the cam, so I presume it is the visual on the IR is why they are reacting.
