Setting TC Goals

 

Keeping Track – Every year I set goals for my trail camera work. For 2025, I aimed to find a new area, and after scouting a swamp with a beaver dam and a big boulder in it, I thought it would be great place to try and capture a bear standing on a rock (Goal #2). I set up two trail cameras, which over six months recorded over a thousand videos—only 21  showed bears passing the rock. Most TC triggers were from moving vegetation, so after adjusting for spring growth, I set the cameras to one-minute . This week a TC finally videoed a bear stopped on the boulder. Not quite what I envisioned, but I’ll take it.
