Thanks everyone! This area is a great bedding area and I was hoping to leave the camera up for a while longer but when I went in yesterday someone had placed a stick over the front of the camera in hopes of blocking the lens. I feel lucky that is wasn't damaged or stolen. He knew enough to not come around to the front of the camera and placed the stick over the lens from behind. The camera triggered and I could hear his footsteps in the snow as he walked away. Lucky the stick wasn't balanced correctly and was hanging off to the right side of the camera when I got there. As I said in another post, this is on public ground and I will eventually get it stolen. After this incident I decided to pull it out and will place it somewhere else, maybe to video some turkeys in the area.
This is my first trail camera and am hooked! I knew this area was a good bedding area but not to this degree. I will be spending more time in a treestand in this area next fall for sure.
