Recently we had a wildfire on our property that consumed 25 acres of our lease. We had a trail camera on a feeder in the middle of it and luckily for us, the ground was bare and it did not catch on fire. It did take photos of the fire and these are shown below.
After viewing these wildfire photos, I started thinking about all the past photos that I have gotten on trail cameras that were unique. Since I just showed my fire photos, let’s go to the other extreme and show you some photos of a flood on one of our leases in Mississippi. The camera looks like a periscope on a submarine. These photos are shown below and include some before and after shots.
Next, I captured some foxes playing in the snow a few years ago and they are shown below. Their colors are so vivid against the white of the snow.
Finally, I had this hanging feeder in Florida back in 2006 that kept getting untied from the tree and dumped out. I figured it was a raccoon but I wanted to make sure so I put a camera on it. Low and behold, it turned out to be a bear. The landowner had no idea that bears were present in that area and it turned out they were just traveling through during their summer pattern. Shown below are these amazing photos captured on a first generation trail camera.
So, when you are viewing photos taken from your trail camera, you never know what might be captured on that next photo.
