game camera photo logbook game camera photo logbook welcome to my game camera photo logbook join me as i use hidden game cameras to photograph deer elk eagles hawks cougar bear and other animals that live around mt st helens so come along and let s get to know what lands on that stump or walks that log and explore this forest that the animals call home friday november 01 2013 first photo from my new lens picked up a new lens off e bay for 49 dollars sigma 18 x 35 so i can set the camera closer for smaller animals very happy with the first picture of a blacktail buck at night but noticed a crack in the my case glass the protects the camera lens so went to a glass cutter to fit new glass i had cut the old one from picture glass and must have had a small crack in it when i glued it in i am not good at cutting a glass let alone make it round i cropped this from the original and still has great quality the lens is very sharp and can t wait to set the camera back into the woods later this fall posted by cliff 10 24 am 8 comments monday june 10 2013 update on mouse cam pleased with the 380 for the close work for mice i do need to set the camera back about 6 inches for better focus but did get a few critters i m not up on my species of field mice but do know one is a shrew i enjoy checking this camera it s an older model but takes good pictures plus the flash and speed to take a photo work great for this type of setting i cropped the pictures to give a better look of these small creatures that live in their grass world posted by cliff 10 39 pm 1 comments tuesday june 04 2013 field mice camera several years ago i set a camera out for field mice and was well pleased with the results so i built a camera that i hope works as well for close pictures of a fast critter i used an older olympus 380 that has a switch on the front for macro up close and is a quick camera it does well on pictures at less than a foot and hope the flash isn t to much for that distance more or less a trial and error method for the first few weeks and hope the elk don t stomp the camera into the ground they are very rough on cameras it s a well used trail that runs in a zig zag pattern in front of the camera that should slow anything down for the camera to work but i can always go back to the first camera i used in a pinch posted by cliff 9 58 am 7 comments sunday june 02 2013 the nature of a bear seems it s just in the blood of a bear to never see a camera it didn t like closer look and then bites the camera camera came out fine with only some bite and claw marks posted by cliff 9 06 am 1 comments saturday may 18 2013 tree falling found a good location where a beaver is wearing its teeth down i don t believe they are trying to fall the trees but just wear their teeth down if they grow too long they can become unable to open their mouth far enough to eat fir trees are not their main diet they mainly like cottonwood and eat lots of small bushes grass and roots i aimed the camera at this tree because it was the most recent one that had been chewed on posted by cliff 11 13 pm 2 comments monday may 13 2013 otter log i found some fresh sign of where an otter rolled in the sand and then played on the log i wasn t quite sure what was going on so i placed a camera to find out if it was a one time thing or something they frequently i have been by this place on many occasions and never seen this type of activity before i was surprised to have this male otter stay on the log for 26 pictures and not bothered by the camera i left the camera there and checked it today seems most of the otter stop and play when passing by so i set the canon rebel up and hope they pass through again within the next several days posted by cliff 6 56 pm 1 comments thursday may 09 2013 a learning day of checking my trail cameras i had eight cameras set in good locations that had been out a week so was excited to have a cool morning for the 5 mile hike that didn t last long out of the 8 cameras only three had pictures the other five i had either not turned on or the batteries were dead my learning curve had dropped a lot over the last year be sure to double check batteries and switches before leaving the camera i did move two cameras to new locations one to a trail that otter use to bypass a log jam on a small creek i believe the otter are still up in a pond and this creek is used to get back to the river where they teach the young the ways of the river the other camera was my canon rebel that i aimed at a log and stump to test the depth of focus and field of view when set in manual focus been a while since i set out the canon and took 20 pictures of myself and the surrounding area while setting it up i have it set on five pictures on each trigger of the sensor and it is a very fast sensor after all that i wasn t willing to take it down and delete the pictures it had a large card and maybe the pictures i took was a good test this shows the well used path that leaves the creek to bypass the log jam posted by cliff 9 22 am 6 comments about me name cliff location castle rock washington state i ve enjoyed hiking in the outdoors my entire life while trying to study the habits of animals mainly it was always a guess on what type of animal used the trails unless you saw well defined tracks but that has changed since i started using game cameras now pictures show me whatever uses the trail day or night i have learned more about wildlife by using trail cameras in the last 4 years than i did in the first 50 years and ended up with some great photos i hope you will
