I checked on one of my game cameras this afternoon while out hunting. It was hanging askew, the bottom was open, the batteries were scattered, and the SD card was hanging out. This was in the area where the poacher had been last week. I thought, "Huh, why didn't he take the camera."
When I looked at the SD card I first saw a herd of elk. Then there were about a dozen pictures of parts of an elk face, neck hair, and the last picture was a close up of an eyeball.
There was a little blood on the camera, as if she had cut her lip on an edge of it. One of the batteries was beat up. They are AA. There are, or I should say were, two soft rubber covers on the bottom. They seal off the DC and USB ports. The covers were gone. They may be stomped into the ground, but I could not find them.
These are old Leupold cameras. I called Leupold, and luckily they still had covers, and shipped them no charge.
When I was walking back to the house with the parts of the camera, I had a doe in the crosshairs for a minute or two. She was about 50 yards away. She got a pass as I recognized her at the one with twins that has been hanging around for months.
