Welcome to My Game Camera Photo Logbook. Join me as I use hidden game cameras to photograph deer, elk, eagles, hawks, cougar, bear and other animals that live around Mt. St. Helens. So, come along and let's get to know what lands on that stump or walks that log, and explore this forest that the animals call home.

I've enjoyed hiking in the outdoors my entire life while trying to study the habits of animals. Mainly it was always a guess on what type of animal used the trails, unless you saw well defined tracks. But that has changed since I started using game cameras, now pictures show me whatever uses the trail day or night. I have learned more about wildlife by using trail cameras in the last 4 years than I did in the first 50+ years and ended up with some great photos. I hope you will enjoy a few stories and tips on how to set the game cameras to get the best pictures.

I think the photo works well with the limb. In fact, it illustrates how heavy the snow was at the time.
Sometimes in my favorite images, animals are partially obscured - but still plainly identifiable.
My appreciation for this has grown over time, and I resist deleting images until i have had a chance to get a second impression, after I reconsider my expectations and, instead, appreciate the result.
I think that's what is so unigue about game cameras, the fact that I can spend hours setting up for a great photo and most of the time luck can make a big difference.
I believe this is what seperates game camera photos from someone taking animal photos in a zoo or with a telephoto lense in the wild. Can't think of anyone triggering the camera with a snowy limb blocking the view.
