This site is about running trail cameras in Southeast Alaska and other outdoor activities.
This camera overlooks a spot where 3 main trails come together to form 1 that climbs a steep hillside behind the camera. There is a lot of action here but most of the animals in the pictures are blurry so I switched it to record videos.
I was planning on taking a second day off but the weather changed dramatically and it cooled off enough that I made a fire, then woke up to thunder storms so I went home and went to work instead.
First time checking this spot, lots of action but horrible pictures so I set the camera to video mode because that gives it time to adjust to the lighting.
I also switched this camera to video mode for the same reason as the one mentioned above.
This camera has been doing great, it’s set where deer cross the to of a ravine.
There isn’t a lot of documented proof of sandhill cranes breeding in the Ketchikan area so it’s nice to get a picture of them with their young around here.
This camera developed a moisture problem, probably from the time a bear tried to eat it, it’s now retired to vacation duties.
I set this camera to catch bears fishing for salmon, but it’s a good year round spot. In late August when the salmon run start the deer will disappear and nor many will show up until the bears aren’t spending so much time here.
I have kept this camera on video mode except this set of pictures and now it’s recording videos again, you can see them here:
These pictures are the highlights from my first check of this spot. Lots of traffic but do to low light and the animals not holding still most of the pictures were blurry, next time I will bring a camera set up for video. The camera I’m using here now is one of the original 6mp Trophy Cams and those don’t take very good videos.
