Moultrie Game Camera II

With some additional thoughts and suggestions from fellow blogger comments, I decided to move my game camera from a position in front of a cubby set to a position inside the cubby set. The plan was to be able to capture a photo of the animal actually eating / attacking / mauling the bait. My hope was that it would make for a pretty interesting picture IF I could get it to work. After a little manipulation of the cubby set, I was able to get the camera into its new position and after some initial testing (note my photographic example), I felt it was ready to roll.

In the end, it didn't work out quite the way I had envisioned and I need to slightly modify the cameras position to get a better angle. I did however capture this photo which I "believe" is a fisher? Please weigh in with your comments to say that you agree or that I need my eyes checked!

FYI, Camera is currently off the bait site and working to pattern deer on a trail near my treestand . . . with only two weeks of black powder deer hunting remaining I have pulled out all of the stops! To those of you still actively chasing whitetails this week and next good luck!

  1. I have no idea what it is, but at least you know (if you move the camera), you're in the right spot.

  2. After looking at it for quite awhile I am leaning toward it being a fisher but am not 100% though.

  3. Ooooh... now we're cooking. Can't wait to see what other critters stop by. Never heard of a "Fisher" before now... thanks for the nature lesson : )

  4. Thanks all for the comments. Weird happenings on the cubby bait site. Since I switched to the new camera I haven't been successful in having anything visit. Odd that it just suddenly went from hot to cold. Well maybe the chilly weather this week will activate it once more!
