Lucky Trail Camera Catch

 



I have been busy snowshoeing the last couple of weeks. The conditions were ideal. Yesterday I snowshoed to my deepest trail camera set. As I came up on the set, there was a deep oval depression in the snow. A moose had bedded  a short distance from the trail camera. Talk about getting pumped ! When I opened the camera to check the SD card, the batteries were DEAD ! You got to be kidding me…. Thankfully, my pack had spare batteries. After powering the TC up , there were many videos. A  quick look showed a moose on the screen. With  temperatures near zero, further review would need to wait until I got home.

I could not be more pleased; there were 130 videos spanned over 3.5 hours, with a moose centered in front of the trail camera. You could not have staged it any better. And ……... It all took place during the snowstorm back on Jan 26th.
