Post Your Game Cam Pics Here!!!

There are just way too many around my place. I've lost 3 chickens so far. They're really wanting my ducks but thankfully they haven't got them yet although they have been in their fenced-in yard at night (caught on camera)
Murphysboro IL Update: 12/7/22 IDNR gave me another 30 day nuisance permit.

Yikes! Bobcats are the most stealthy predators imaginable. One took a friend's 12 lb bright red rooster off her front porch without setting up an alarm from her other numerous roosters on her property near the end of the day, not one single feather dropped. I've only caught one on camera in all these years of having game cams.

Finally I could catch a beautiful fallow deer and a wolf!

This one just sneaked into my garden, I was working on the pc when I heard the chickens screaming and the dog barking. Luckily the dog was outside, so she threw it out and there were no casualties. I found two chicks laying on the ground, they freaked me out but they were just playing dead! I got the dog out of the garden to let her chase the fox and she found it and made it run away, giving it quite a scare. I hope it won't come back soon.
Oh fox, you're pretty, but I don't want to see you anymore!
I checked all the flock and no one has been touched. Phew!

Thought we had just one Bobcat. Wishful thinking - should have known better.

This is 2 pics of the same cat as s/he sauntered through my backyard. I was yelling at it through the ring camera.

I’ve been doing a lot of concurrent experiments. The state awarded me a leg trap permit to clear out some predators around my farm. No dice yet. I am also playing with cell cameras for the first time, having used trail cameras heavily since the early 2000s but never having dived into the ones that send the pics to a cloud storage. I like it, lets me watch the traps in real time. I keep most of them in video mode. Its telling me a lot about how animals avoid the traps.

Lot of traffic in the last 10 days! Wild boars have their cute little piggies and sadly some of the wolves have mange.

Any updated recommendations for Cameras? I need to put one up in the coop area. I do have power out there, but I'm just not sure if they will connect via internet bc coop is behind the barn. We have a very prolific egg eater in the flock, so need to correct that problem, but need to know who it is first Also, it is about that time when baby raccoons are born, so that means they will be taught to hunt before too long, and we have occasional problems with raccoons.

I was perusing Wyze website, but it isn't actually that informative, surprisingly.

So, any current recommendations?

I’m using 2 models of cell Moutries. The Delta Base and Edge. I am satisfied with them, but I think they occasionally miss pictures. I have driven by them and they not take pics, and I have also tied dead chickens so that a varmint would have to work getting the carcass free and they have missed the action on some occasions, leaving me with a hanging chicken leg and no pics of the event.

I think the best cameras currently on the market for the money are the $25-$30 Tascos Walmart sells. They don’t seem to miss pics, have fast triggers, and can go months on a set of batteries. They’ll last 2-3 years before wearing out. I have one that is going on 5 years old and still working.

From two different cameras. There were hundreds of deer pictures because our population is burgeoning, but I posted only a few plus others. The last photo was not clear if it was a coyote (right time for the wild night of song we had last month since it was one of the pics taken in that time frame, time in the picture aside as it's always wrong, seems to me) or a blurry doe. The tail made me think coyote, but maybe making it larger would clear up the mystery. I like that feature on BYC. Some dates may be incorrect, always happens, certainly the last date of the picture in question is wrong.

So, is that a coyote or a deer? Seems canine-like to me in the pic at one time, then it looks like just another deer. What do you think? They were singing a lot at the time the picture was snapped, huge pack of them.
