Many things in Nature, that were commonly believed or suspected, are now being verified or refuted by 'trail camera'.

Does the Bear sh_t in the forest?

President Biden ..... here is Real Science!

Did the bear use Charmin TP after the go?

No, the Trail Camera reveals that Bears don't use toilet paper. Science man! ... Science .... (Well, at least Michigan Black Bears).

California and Liberal City Bears may be different?

"BBM" - Black Bears Matter .... and use Remington cartridges.

In that Remington ad that does look like a Krag. A little magnification would help.

An old joke. A bear asked a rabbit "does the poo stick to your fur after you go?' The rabbit replied"no". The bear proceded to wipe his butt with the rabbit.

Since this thread is titled "Trail Cameras and Science" maybe someone here can diagnose what is wrong with this young buck. Welts all over what is showing. Saw another buck with similar welts in another trail camera photo.

(From internet search) - Possibly those 'welts' are:

Caseous Lymphdentis (CS) a bacterium growth found on cattle, horses, goats & sheep or Papillomas warts, a skin virus that is species specific.
The Papillomas can fall off when size exceeds blood supply.

Both maladies pose little risk to humans, but should be cut off, without direct skin contact, and knife sanitized.

They are skin infections on host animal. The meat is considered safe.

Only a few species of trees in the brush around here have no thorns. All the cacti and yucca have spines or thorns, no wonder they get these with all the pricks these animals get. Game cameras sure show details you normal miss. Thanks.

Looks more like a cell phone photo from the vehicle (which is not a bad thing). I remember hearing about a road runner going from car to car at a gas station picking off fresh bugs from the grills of the cars. Wil E. Coyote was no where to be seen. Too bad cell phones did not have cameras then.

Speaking about coyotes and trail cameras. I got some more photos of what looks to be that same one dancing in front of the camera but without his toy. Never would have guessed a wild animal would have done that.

I will have to start killing some pretty soon. I have one cow with a calf that stayed behind in a field when the rest of the herd was moved. They have become wilder than the deer and I cannot get close to them without them running away. Coyotes harassing them at night is probably contributing to this.
