Chad... I think everyone loves elk! I'll see what I can do about putting some in the freezer... and will remember ya this fall.
We moved the game cam a couple of days ago and I went in to pick it up yesterday evening.
It had thirteen exposures on it... only one that actually shows an animal.
We put the camera on a stake that we drove in the ground by a very small waterhole. I'm talkin small as a #2 washtub.
Without a lot of rain, the waterhole went dry, but I figured the antelope (and anything else) would come to it out of habit.
The one photo is of a buck antelope's eye... ultra close up.
All I can figure on the rest of them is that it was setting on the ground at the bottom of the stake when I got there... must have slid down.
I suspect that local birds, magpies and ravens, found the stake and camera to be a handy place to sit.
The camera was covered with their "sign". Except for the close antelope, the rest of the photos are close up's of grass and weeds.
The strong winds that are common around here made the grass activate the camera.
I'm thinking of going up country today to scout some elk locations and will fill in details when I return.
