Trail camera thread. Post ur trail camera photos.

Speaking of trail cams...

I use Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries in my cameras. Their availability has diminished recently (Am@zon). Covid related supply chain issue maybe? But I ordered 3x the number I might need in the near future. There are plenty available in smaller quantities but the price per cell is significantly greater.
 
Recently, a fox has been seen on surveillance video following our cat on our property. So... I used a bit of fox lure/bait (canned cat food), and the fox was trapped the following day. I figured he'd get the hint and leave the area after his brief detention & release. False. After I released him, he ran towards a site I have another camera setup, and a few minutes later he was captured again on camera near the trap, eyeballing me as I made my way back.

My 4th foothold porcupine on this set, I've taken 6 out of the woods so far this year. There were 2 more that walked by this one last night.

How'd they taste? My dogs are not fond of them. Season (hunting) is open all year in MA.

Not bad, we've eaten 3 and left the others for the predator bait pile. My kids love them, we made stew and a couple pan fried, they are chewy if you pan fry but the flavor is pretty decent.

That picture is from a blind-set foothold trap on their trail, they are decimating my trees on the woodlot.
 
Quills are sought-after by a bunch of different crafters from fishermen to clothesmakers. Old boars dump a lot of them just from being trapped. "Ask me how I know."
