At the Water Trough, Part II

We are still running the game cam at the water trough on evenings when rain or sleet(!) are not expected.

The most common visitors, by far, are the local Raccoons. We knew of their existence before the game cam as they try to pull our bird feeders down every night!

Sometimes they come to the water trough alone:


Sometimes they bring a buddy:


Or their little one:


Most of them are content to stand beside the trough and drink, but a few prefer to get on in there!





Everybody in the pool!


Once you are all nice a clean, it's time for your close-up.


More to come later, from the water trough!!

  1. Thanks for sharing. What brand is your game cam? We suspect we have critters in the night too.

  2. Randy - It is a Bushnell Trophy Cam HD E3, but I would NOT recommend it. On ours at least the triggering mechanism is far too sensitive. Even on the lowest setting we get between 1000 and 4000 pictures every single night, and as you can imagine most are of the background. There is a terrific amount of culling that has to take place. We may have a dud (the model got good reviews), but I know that it should be much more selective than it is.

  3. Ok thanks. I'll do more research and pic another model or brand.
