Camera Trappin'

Today I received my Sony DSC-P32 Cybershot that I recently won on ebay. It was purchased to use in a trail cam I will be building using a kit from Snapshot Sniper. Trail cams with actual digital cameras in them take much better photos than the ones you buy at your local "hunting" store. This weekend I hope to be out in the inards of the Big Thicket to scout for a spot to set it up. It has been awhile since I've set up a camera in the woods and my renewed interest was spurred by none other than the Camera Trap Codger. Any photos captured will be published in future entires. Stay posted!

Willey Bandits

They've been called many things: ring-tailed bandits, night raiders, long-tailed bear. They're known to Mohican Inidans as sha-wee (graspers) and the Dakota-Sioux as weekah tegalega (magic one with painted face). Raccoons can be compared to your average neighborhood feral cat- curious, stealthy, and inquisitive little varmints and when food is involved they’ll do whatever it takes to get to it. And being omnivorous means they'll pretty much consume anything. They 're even aware of the feast that can be pilfered from a deer feeder. When a buddy of mine was checking his game camera he found that the on/off switch was in the “off” position. At first he thought that maybe he forgot to turn it on, but when we checked the sd card we found pictures……and the last one revealed the culprit. The incredible dexterity they have with their little hand-like paws enable them to open jars, latches, turn doorknobs, and turn off game cameras….
