Buck Caught between Two IR Flashes

This is an out of the camera effect with this Mule Buck Caught between 2 IR Flashes simultaneously. I have 3 Game trail cameras covering this location and when they go off at the same time, I get some very interesting effects. This is an in the camera equivalent to “posterization”. Naturally taken with me doing virtually nothing to the image post click. The little squiggle right of the deers head is a bug flying zig zag showing how long the exposure was thus how still the deer was.
Trail Cameras amaze me sometimes. The image quality is never great even in the best rigs, I have to clean them up all the time laboriously at times. The best game trail captures are to a one candid and have attributes that absolutely endear (pun intended) them to me.❤️

A Ghost in the Night

This Flying Ghost in the night was no doubt aware of my ducks sleeping about 200 yards over my Game Trail Cameras shoulder.
Based on What I know about that foot diameter electric pole (at least) behind him…..He’s a BIG BIRD…. 1:49AM as I left the time stamps on this one. Just a few days back. Light of a 3/4 moon…

I really enjoy having the game cameras to give me this perspective on some nocturnal habits. I think this is a large raptor but I suppose it could be the same great horned owl I’ve photographed under better conditions with a “real” camera…

Last post of the day, it’s actually Sunday night as I type this. It will post at 9 on the 25th …..

Have a safe night.

Big Buck in Pitch Black From a Trail Camera (Infra-red)

For a Trail Camera to pick up this 5×5 buck perfectly in Pitch Black using only a “flash” of Infra-red light, he has to be just the right distance from the camera, the camera needs to be set up for a (capture zone) where the animal is likely to be in focus so moving a big log somewhere to funnel the animals in front of your camera is a good idea if your situation allows. Narrow a gate opening, lower a fence at one spot. Good game trail captures are hard fought for.

Running into a Prickly Porcupine and taking its “Picture” is always a sticky situation for a least one of us. Fortunately, this is a trail camera capture in nearly pitch black. The hard part is deciding WHERE to put the camera…… (hint look for tracks)

A couple of deer (bucks) are a tad seedy hanging out on this corner of the “strip” here on ridge one. I put quality game trail cameras out, I’m currently running 26 or them…. I keep a pretty close eye on what’s going on around here. These guys are clearly up to no good about 3AM that morning.
