Got this pic on the trail cam today... I have no idea what it is. I think it's a bird flying by the camera:

I have no idea Joe.

Looks like a piece of wood or something.

Maybe someone found your camera.

What kind of camera is it?

**Squirrelhunter91** · 05-29-2007, 03:46 PM

Wierd that's for sure. I don't think it's a bird though. The edges are too straight/smooth. Could it be a piece of wood? Who else knows where your camera is? Could be someone messing with you.

I was going to say a deer antler, like the deer was feeding beside the camera,...but it'd be kinda early for a big tine like that to be there...so i don't know what that would be...

**IllinoisArcher** · 05-30-2007, 12:56 AM

walking stick maybe?

**billkay** · 05-30-2007, 07:03 AM

An alien. No doubt at all.

**PAstringking** · 05-30-2007, 08:39 AM

I'm not familiar with that camera. Is the trigger time fast enough to catch a bird? That is why I asked the question, if it was a cuddy I might say a bird. Either way I would point another camera back at this one and see if you could capture the person who is screwing with your camera or pull it ASAP. It just doesn't look natural to me.

Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw the pic too. The trigger time on all camera's is too slow to pick up a bird flying past, that close, unless something else out front set off the camera, and the bird flew by, just as it was going off. But it doesn't look like a bird to me.
I wasn't joking when I said longbow, because it looks like a perfectly sanded piece of wood to me. Like someone was out shooting, and was passing their bow or walking stick in front of the camera to make it go off.
