what is going on in pic 3?
I think it's a dust bath in progress.
Picture 32 is a beautiful shot... what the heck kind of trail cam is that?!
HAHA the deer in pic 3 farted and created a dust storm.

Pic 31 - Don't you just hate when you have the perfect setup and some clown comes along and messes everything up!
haha nice. Some quite unique ones here, I'm sure there are some great stories behind a couple of these...
A couple should be used for the caption contest too.
Those are all great shots I hope those are doe's in pic # 36 What a great shot
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!
#29 is hilarious. Great pics
I agree with BarkinSpider. pic 32 is a really good one my trail cam doesn't even get that good of photos.
in number three it was kicking dirt in the air
Great shots. Seems like a lot of racoons are getting into peoples bait piles.
Lots of fun to see those pics
picture 22 them deer must be from california
yeess the clown is awesome nice pictures
Lots of unexpected funnies in this gallery... great stuff!
what the heck is pic #5?
Picture #29 " AAAARRRRGGGGHHH........ EEEEEEEEE. Man I wish I had magazine or a newspaper cause this is going to take a while. LOL
Picture #36 " Alright button hook left, button hook left, watch for the blitz, BREAK!"
pic 3, poof it's magic, where did he go? thats a good pic!
pic# 31. who runs around the woods like that?
Pic 31 is just plain creepy. Just another reason why I hate clowns
a title for pick 4 the another face of raccoooon
number 6- TEAMWORK!
Pic 5 is a UFO.... or a moth on the lens. You decide?
If picture #32 is real, then that is just amazing!
picture #40 reminded me that I have to call my brother!
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.

To me it looks like deer dont really get along with racoons.
that clown shot was the creepiest flipping thing I have seen in a long time.... there's just something wrong about the whole thing. Maybe I've just seen "IT" to many times.
31 is quite a picture. Deer and coons, doesn't look like a good combination.
The deer in picture four definatley has hops.
42 looks like ring side seats!
very nice pictures
pics 5 looks like a huge moth
what the hell is that clown doing in pic #31? i mean really who does that? but funny none the less

the party's in Raccoon University are wild.(pic 6)
pic 2 kamikazi flying squirrel

That's great!!!
pic 2 is awesome
#3 covered in thickets lol
There shure are some unique and crazy photos here. Many wierd animal behaviors.
cyote got worms pic 30
Doh!! They caught me in my Clown suit
pic #43 - say cheese
Pic#22 We now know why the deer population is thinning out, what a shame that poor guy must not know what he's missing out on. Good photo's overall, the clown really makes me think twice about my stand placement and do they require a special permit?
They need to get that bear a set of monkey bars.
(pic 1) that bobby loves that camera.
a clown really haha could you imagine buying tag for a clown it would be like "ok were here hunting on heaven ranch and we got a couple nice clowns feeding in this food plot of clover on the trail cam and were set up on the main trail going into it and the wind is in our favor so were gonna sit all day and see if one of those nice big clowns will come in and give me a broadside shot. we got a great set up with this hoyt tritton,carbon express arrows and muzzy broad heads so lets see if any will come in for us".
haha great pics guys!
Lots of great pictures. This proves trail cameras can help you find out a lot about behavior of different animals, and clowns.
Great pics! So wishing to buy a trail cam. So curious to know what goes on while i'm not there
Great Photos!

I question if some of these are actually trail cam pics
Whats up with pic 3!!

These are great pics. Got some good laughs
31 makes me wonder if the guy dressed up in the clown suit just to walk by the cam or if he just happened to walk by it dressed as a clown
photo 14= T-BAG hahaha
Squirrel ATTACK!
i feel bad for the deers eyes in the last pic.
those two deer in pic one didn't even have a clue!
i think 22 needs some conseling
The Deer In Pic 10 Looks Snared Caught In a Wire or Snare Whats Funny Bought That?
Those raccoons sure seem to be getting the better of those deer. Pesky little buggers
I like the bear doing his morning stretches.
That's awesome.
Is taht a bear in pic 7?
I wish you could look at them all on 1 page.
Alot of great pics, its amazing what a well placed camera in the woods can capture. Stiff competition but this might be worth getting the camera out more often!
pic 40 he's an ass
pic 7 reminds me of a BC ( www.buckcommander.com ) trail cam pic they had up on their site once. It might be the same one...
