No one should have any sympathy for wawhitey. None. He puts up a cat crossing sign so they cross there. Take down the sign, the cats won't cross there. It is really that simple. :D

I only ran one camera and most of the photos were nighttime thanks to a couple of bull terrier mutts running them in daylight. Luckily, our county sheriff came and took care of them

It is the sign Whitey! They are good and smart cats and only cross there. Just like the deer crossing signs on the roads. If you take them down, the deer will not cross there.

As much time as I have spent in the elk woods and the woods and prairies of the upper midwest, I have never seen a wild cougar. My elk hunting buddy saw one and excitedly pointed to a meadow. I put my binocs on the wrong meadow. It was gone before I could see it.

I could add exhibits c-z but that would involve transferring pics from my laptop to my phone, as i dont have home internet. So no the cats arent crossing due to the signn, the sign was intended to warn my fat little piggies (deer) but theure apparently too stupid to read, as they continue walking right by the sign.

Fat lil piggy: cant step outside to take a leak without being attacked for carrots apples etc. Spoiled little brat. This has been going on for years. Very old doe. Ancient really. Shes become quite entitled over the years. But i suppose she deserves it. Cougar dodging champion of stevens county.

Kind of a big bugaboo regarding cell (two-way) trailcams going on for use in Idaho for big game

Yeah right after I buy a couple cell cameras and a $22.00 a month Data package.

I dont get very good reception at my camp,,, and I try to let my wife and hunting partners know where I am using the cell camera.I set the camera out on Saturday,, The red fox have been consistent , and I get notification between 4:00 and 6:00 AM. The red fox went after the raspberry jam first and haven't touched the wagyu beef?
