Trail cameras and Murphy's Law

I had the camera on this trail but in a different location and had a nice buck walk past, but the background was bad, looked good when I set the camera out but the photos were poor lighting. I wanted the same buck in this location and left the camera out for several weeks, no buck but did get a doe and cow elk. As luck would have it, the doe came from behind the camera and the elk set the camera off too fast. Neither photo had the animal centered but the background was great.
