Trail camera for elk...
Has anyone tried to use a trail camera for getting pictures of elk?
Does the flash scare them?
I'm taking mine on my upcoming trip, and if nothing else I'm going to put it up over the remains if we kill one and try to get a picture of a bear or mountain lion eating the remains.

There is a contest at a local sporting goods shop for the best trail camera picture and I have to think if I get a mountain lion eating some elk remains, I have a good shot at winning considering there are not any mountain lions anywhere close to where I live. There are some bears in my area, but not too many and I think getting a bear eating remains would give me a good chance as well. The winner gets a new Cuddeback camera that is worth $450 I think.
If I was farther north and hunting in grizzly country.....wow.....that could really be potential for great pictures.

the thing i've heard about elk is for some reason they constantly lick the cameras. if memory serves me right there's a guy named dallanc on www.chasingame.com that has this happen to him constantly. maybe if you put something foul tasting on the camera like tabasco sauce (works with thumb sucking kids)
