Always get pictures of moose and deer but this time checking my cams tonight and saw this big white butt. In 248 pretty close to black foot. Same area I shot 2 moose over the past 6 years. And 40 min after that a hunter walked right by the camera.

You never know what's out there until you check your cams, I look forward to the time downloading the pics!

X2. I don't wait to download. You can buy a nice used camera for about 20 bucks at a pawnshop that takes the same memory cards. That way you can see right away if there are any issues with your camera or if any adjustments need to be made.

They have adapters you can connect to your phone and look at the pictures from your SD card. Pretty nifty.

Ok a light brown butt. Was seeing nothing but moose on my cams. Bulls and cows so that light brown stood out. The big thing was being so close to Edmonton and seeing a wild or escaped elk.

Seems like more and more animals are moving into places they normally haven't occupied before.

Kinda like prairie goats in Vegreville.

Pretty cool to see!

We've been encountering elk sign in new places as well.
