Pic 31 - Don't you just hate when you have the perfect setup and some clown comes along and messes everything up!

These are the kind of shots a person behind a camera would wait a lifetime to catch, if they were lucky. This shows us what new technology can also give us not just in the form of awe but including laughter as well. Love those trail cams!

Dogbreath,
hahahaha man that's hilarious.
Lots of pics of deer and turkeys spooking each other and eyeing each other.
I love the pics of animals coming right up to the camera to look at it and it flashes them! I love it!

I couldn't be any more creeped out by the clown in 31.

Lon Cheney said "there is nothing scarier than a clown after midnight" True, but one in the deer woods is a close second!!
For those of you who are creeped out by the red-tail clown, rest easy blood brothers. I took one last year durring early archery season. (montec G5 head, Martin Cougar Magnum, Beeman carbon shafts) IF you should choose to persue this game, They are easy to recognize when approaching the stand ( clomp, clomp of oversized shoes) Aim for the flower ( the one that squirts, on his lappel) and they travel in packs (usually 20-25 of them in a very small car.
One word of caution. These are a trophy-only animal. I did process one last year and tried various ways to cook it ut all of my buddies agreed ( you new this was coming....)
No matter what you do, they taste funny.
