Yep. And, apparently, he has claimed the yard. Second and final round of tests showed him prowling at all hours.Smokin' Joe said:Black Panther!! Nice.
Here he is at night.
Now, as to the Stealth Cam...
I hate to own it, but it was user error. The trail cam is fine. The owner is a doo-fuss.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered the trouble. I had flipped the switch to "Off" to save
from extraneous pictures while I walked it out to the location and hung it in a tree. Then,
I forgot that I had done this and left an inactive camera in a tree for two days.
Ah, well. Better here than at the end of a long hike!
Here are two pics for comparison. This first one is of a navel orange tree. I triggered it from off to the side.
The second one is amazing!
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the first actual photos of the legendary and reclusive SKUNK APE!
TA-DAH! A Skunk Ape in his natural habitat!
The family visitors leave today. Woods, here I come!
PS. I noticed that the date on the Wildgame Cam is incorrect. I know I set that. Plus, the first round dates are correct.
PPS. I did not notice hearing any camera noise. I saw no flashes. The Wildgame Cam has a red light that comes on to let
the user know it is on, but it does not really need that. I never looked directly at the cams at night so I can not tell if they
produce a visible pulse when they go off. But, I saw nothing.
