Another hobby of mine. Game cameras.
Amazing is right ! Thanks for posting that… and all your others, as well.
In a few of your earlier vids of Mountain Lions, strolling past your cameras, one would often go right up to it and check it out real close. What do you think got their attention; camera lens reflection, human scent at camera or something else?
Thanks for watching some more of my videos [emoji482], I put a lot of work into trying to get good images for everyone to look at.
I purposely use Low Glow cameras, which have infrared LEDs that emit a dim red glow, versus No Glow cameras, which do not glow. I want the animals to look at the camera when they trigger it, so I get either good face shots, have the animals come up to the camera for a sniff or have some type of reaction from the animal.
During the day, I think they are attracted to the cameras for a variety of reasons. Rectangles are rare in nature, animals have an acute sense of smell and the cameras make a sound, when they turn on, which is largely inaudible to humans, but animals can hear things far beyond humans are all reasons for the animals to take notice.
Many people have to use No Glow - often referred to as Black Glow - cameras, because they have to worry about two-legged creatures walking away with them, but my property is a mile long and a quarter mile wide and every image I’ve ever taken has been within a few hundred yards of my house.
