We have an animal die at the ranch occasionally from a variety of causes, last week we lost two calves from bloat. These calves did not eat for a time because of stormy weather, then they overate when they again were able to get to feed causing the bloat. However as nature intended this allows us to take the dead calves to a canyon were the coyotes know there is an occasional meal. Travis gave me a trophycam that takes photos when triggered by motion. I placed the camera overlooking the coyote meal for 96 hours. The camera took 500 photos during that time of a coyote entering or leaving the site or chewing at the dinner plate. Only 6 photos
where taken during daylight hours and 4 of those where of tumble weeds. Every time the camera photographed a coyote eating 10 seconds later there was a photo of him exiting (he must be camera shy) however he quickly returned.
As you can see I need to set the correct date and time in the camera.
