I set my new game camera up at my hog trap. Got a pic of a hog passing by on the trail, some birds, some raccoons, actually, a lot of raccoons, and this shot. Looks like a coyote resting in the grass on the far side of the trap and that's something to the left of him, perhaps a companion. It's been rainy and foggy and the shot's not real clear. Guess it COULD be a pig, but it looks like a coyote, to me. Big picture so click on the link and state your opinion.

I think it's a bird on the wing MC.

[rcmodel]

Naw, I think its one of them there Chupacabras I keep hearing about down there in Texas. :D


Actually, I'm pretty sure the one facing left behind the trap is a coyote or fox, or some sort of canine.

The other one, to the left and behind the trap, I can't make it out well enough to tell what it is.

[MCgunner]

Yeah, right at the door of the trap, but behind the trap. The birds are all in front.

I shoulda done it as a poll, yote, dog, hog, chupacabra, or other. :D

[chas08]

I think they are all three hogs and that it's the angle that makes it decieving. I say three because it looks like a hogs head about a little less than half way between the second angle iron on the left and the back end of the trap, about four to five big wire strands up. I can't imagine all those birds being so relaxed with a 'yote around.
count four big wire strands up and eleven or twelve small squares left of the back angle iron and that will put you on what looks like a snout eye and ear are just above on the right. Maybe I'm seeing things. It wouldn't be the first time.(LOL)

[1KPerDay]

Looks like the little-seen Blurrius Stigmaticus.

Mmm, good point.

[LEVRLOVR]

It's a Grackle I tellz'ya.

And not just any old Grackle but a female Grackle.

Her body is facing us and makes up what looks like the Coyotes ear as he moves left.
Her tail makes up the Coyotes snout.
She is looking over her right shoulder.

There is also a bluury bird in motion that comprises his bottom jaw, neck and left shoulder.

Do I get a prize if I guess correctly?:D

[Dave in PA]

I vote piggy.

[abr10dr]

I think LEVRLOVR got it.

[Flintknapper]

All grackles

[Warhawk83]

Pumbaa all the way.

[MCgunner]

YEAH! I'm seein' it now. Weird. I never liked those illusion things, mess me up. :D

Well, I did get a shot of a Texas politician, too.....

The trail cuts between the camera and the trap.

[Crowbar Muldoon]

I dunno about the first pic. But I'm sure the second pic is Rick Perry. :)

[pbearperry]

Def. a pig.

[Art Eatman]

Behind the door? The nose is very much piglike.

No mas de politico, p'favor.

[cottonmouth]

Just looks like one of these Ahghan stray dogs I've been seeing to me.

I was going to say dog. After second pic , I say pig

[HunterBear71]

dog...

[UpTheIrons]

I dunno about the first pic. But I'm sure the second pic is Rick Perry. :)

I think you're right about that one! :D

[MCgunner]

I do think it's a bird illusion. Very weird, though. I guess he's moving is what makes it work, blurred the shot. When I look for the bird, I can see it. It's like those illusions in the paper you have to strain to see. Or the guy with a mustache you turn upside down and it's a naked lady or something. Weird.

[thegoodlistener]

Is that the 6.0 MP ? How`s it holding up ?

[MCgunner]

Yep and it's been doing great, lots of rain down here lately and it seals up dry which is something my SILs doesn't do. It is VERY easy on batteries, too, which I'm impressed with. Has IR flash, too, which I set it on when I checked it the other day. Not as long range, but works at shorter range and won't spook the game around the trap. It also does video, but I haven't messed with that, yet. It also has a laser to aim it which is very handy except in bright sunlight. My wife gave it to me for Christmas. :D

SILs is a cheaper one from "wild game innovations" and it's not nearly as desirable, but works. Like I say, it leaks a little and seems to fog up easier. It's 3mpix, only has optical flash. I'm not really into all that reaction time stuff for the detectors. It seems to catch the game okay, but the Remington branded camera I have is quite a bit better. Another thing I really like about it, I've had it out there since Christmas and the batteries are still showing full bars on the meter. That cheaper one uses C cells and EATS batteries. He goes through a set a week. My SIL is somewhat jealous. :D I'm sure it's not the BEST camera out there, but heck, they both take decent shots and tell ya what's there, except for the occasional moving bird optical illusion I guess. :D

[blkbrd666]

Looks like 2 birds back there to me too...one facing away and one flying.

[cottonmouth]

Now I think I see a dog on the right and a pig on the left of him, then again I have been up for over 24 hours so I could see the super bowl!

Definitely not the Super Bowl back there! :D ;)

Grackles.

[CSA 357]

looks like a bigfoot to me, hey they are everywhere!!!!!!

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

I think LevrLovr is right - female great-tailed grackle, with another bird in flight to the right, and a little pig, little pig, who wants to come in (to the trap) on the left.

But yeah, at first glance it looks like a domestic dog with racoonish markings.

[RumRunner]

fox imo
