Several years ago I found a natural rock cave. There was a lot of evidence this cave was used by cougars for many years, probably as a day bed. The shelter is high up within a steep ravine. Vertical cliffs complete the backdrop. I’ve always been curious who visits this cave. So this May I put a trail camera on it. I plan to leave the camera up through the fall but today I went to check what’s been happening. Despite having to sift through hundreds of squirrel and packrat photos, the cave smells attracted lots of other visitors.

in this case I’m using a Bushnell HD. It has video but that trigger can be too slow. My best camera is a Reconyx
