I suggest googling the words "motion sensor wildlife camera reviews"

War is god

Trail cameras are going to show you what is there, but you won't get a very satisfactory "photograph".

The easiest way to get wildlife photographs is to go to the zoo. At least they look wild.

To get "great" wildlife photographs you have to have a lot of skill, luck, and patients. And equipment and time. And money. And more luck.

I was kayaking last weekend and a bald eagle was flying over our heads. My camera - my best DSLR and lens, which I have NEVER taken kayaking before - was in my wife's kayak and I was trying to get her to take some photo's. She didn't want to and pulled along side to hand it to me. Just as we aligned side by side, the eagle dove down, hit the water 15 feet in front of us and snatched a fish. If only 1 minute later! I could spend a month, maybe a year trying to get that shot, that close, again and never see it. Luck is where preparation meets opportunity...I had the opportunity, just not the preparation!

aint nobody got time for dat!


Could be a good excuse to spend the day on my back porch and do nothing though.

Damn! Duffy beat me to it.

Try this - it will be cheaper than a GoPro.

Great for landscapes Ansell, not so good for low light photo's of skittish wildlife.

Get a .22 rifle and a scope. When he pops out, shoot him. Then you can pose him for all sorts of cool photos.

Mine has a sim card, automatically texts me the photos instantly. Good quality too. Not cheaper than a go-pro though.

Starting from scratch...

You could do what a lot of amature wildlife photogs do... bait the animal with food and wait.

I'd say pink but I don't want people to think that I am kidding that this is done.

The real idiots out there take a photo of the animal clearly eating human food and then post it to Facebook.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

FWIW I wouldn't consider about 90% of the photography coming out of our national parks as wild photography. Most of the animals there have been habituated to human activity and represent an unrealistic portrait of how things are outside of the NP's.

Pretty good chance there are pups/kits in that den. if so, they'll venture out to play soon.

This guy is legit. And his work is amazing.

I keep a game camera in my backyard since i have a fox and sometimes deer or turkeys there. I picked a really crappy one up for 40 bucks. Not great pictures but it works.

We've had a reoccurring Den behind our house for a couple of years. I think every other year or so they come and have a new litter. Just keep a camera and binoculars handy and be patient. The picture below was taken with a basic cell phone. My wife has some amazing photos from a couple of years ago when we first saw them, but they've become as common as deer.

I lived with him for 8 months and he became my friend. We shared elk and mice.

Or it could be a zoo, hard to tell.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Thought this wildlife photography stuff was going to be hard. 10 min and I got my shot!

That's the kind of hunting I am into. No bag limit and no seasons.

cool. It's been a few years since I have seen one. I had forgotten how comically large their tails are.
