RE: Camera over Deer Carcass - what to expect?
Well, I guess I was wrong that there wasn't anything out there big enough to drag the carcass off. The day after I put it out there were several pictures with buzzards picking on it, then I got a couple pictures of a coyote investigating it and then it was gone! Poof!! I looked around for it for a while and would have thought that the smell would have allowed me to find it but it must have been either picked clean or drug off a ways. I found a few patches of hair but nothing else.
After the deer was gone I got a couple other pictures of a deer smelling the ground where the dead deer had been and a couple of a coyote looking around but that was it.
Of course somehow after looking at the pictures on my computer out on the property I put the card with the pictures back in the camera and brought the blank one back home so nothing to post now. [&:]
I'll post them in a couple weeks or so next time I go check on things.
FWIW, Nathan

RE: Camera over Deer Carcass - what to expect?
Yotes will drag a deer without any effort especially if its a pack of them. Is it possibly a cougar? That would be insane to get a pic of and then a shot
they'd make one heck of a rug.
I have also tried the deer carcass thing when I first got my camera, but I made the mistake of putting out the camera right away then took it down after two weeks. two weeks later I was out doing somthing and all that was left was the top of the skull and the skin.... and it was moved 70 yards

RE: Camera over Deer Carcass - what to expect?
I got the pictures off the card today. Here is the last picture with the carcass in front of the camera:
The way the camera is set it takes 3 pictures in rapid succession then waits a minute and if there is still movement it takes 3 more pictures, etc. Well evidently it took the coyote less than a minute to drag the deer off because that's the last I ever saw of the deer.
Here's a picture of the buzzards eating on it:
There are some other pictures on my photo gallery. New pictures start on page 3 - http://padens.com/ipw-web/gallery/trailcams?page=3
Thought I would update the post with the pics I got.

I still haven't ever been out there at night yet. I really need to get a decent spotlight and do some raccoon hunting though. Maybe even try some night pig hunting.
Your brother have any tips on raccoon hunting?

RE: Camera over Deer Carcass - what to expect?
Look at your pics to see when they are comming at night. Go with a (smaller if its just you)flashlight and .22 with a scopeat night. They will probably be by your feeders if you have them up or just spotlight the fields and you'll find them.
