I guess I need to try that again. I had a feeder and camera out, but there are cattle in the area, so that in June I had ~500 pictures, ~400 of which were cows foraging around the feeder. Another 50-60 were raccoons, and the rest were false triggers except for two hogs that came by sometime in the month. I had set the feeder to go off only in the evening, I'll try running it in the morning and see if that produces different results. -- Thanks!
