When it comes to nature and hunting, trail cams are a must-have, and, by far, they are for sure the most popular items around the world. When you set up a trail cam, you can capture every move an animal makes throughout the day or night. They are also fully equipped to record every movement in close range to where it is in operation. This feature is what gives technology the edge in recording animal activities. It is true that when humans are not around, animals often get up to some tricky actions, and this advanced technological tool proves this theory. Though there is not much excitement going on most of the time, we have to agree that it is rather epic, breathtaking, and truly amazing when it does capture something. You can experience the best of nature and how these animals use the opportunity to do their ” deeds.” These pictures here will show you how much these little ones get up to…
Barreling
There are so many strange things that happen when we are not around, and here we see a deer strolling about with a barrel attached to its head. From the look of things, the barrel was stuck between its antlers. Funny enough, there can be so many theories associated with why he has a barrel stuck to his head. Could it be that he was in a war with the barrel, and it is still ongoing? Or, could it be that he found a barrel of goodies he is taking home to the rest of the family? We may never know!
Barreling
Antler Trap
There are so many challenges that come with being a young buck, and here we have evidence of this reality. Whether they can’t go through certain bushy areas easily or items are getting caught in their antlers. In most cases, they cannot remove the item themselves and have to seek the help of trusted persons to free them. The trail cam captured this buck with its antlers covered with tumbleweed. Hopefully, he gets a little help to remove it soon by either someone who might be passing or a mate in his little team.
Antler Trap
Bear On The Run
Watching a movie and seeing a bear chasing someone or another animal can be really terrifying and leave you screaming at the top of your lungs, telling them to get out of there as fast as possible. Well, the capture here is just about as powerful as getting your heart to beat faster than you hope. But, the best part is that it was all caught on camera, so you don’t have to worry about it coming at you. We don’t know what the bear is chasing, but the photo is really amazing, and we are sure the world loves it.
Bear On The Run
Lots of Deers
Deers are not known to be dangerous when they are generally sitting around but what this trail cam captured somehow has us thinking something different. For a fact, this picture creates a frightening or rather terrifying feeling as all these eyes keep staring at you. This one picture contains so many deers looking the same way and probably thinking the same thing. Was there something in the background they were focusing on, or is it that they simply wanted to give us a great picture by staring in the cam? Either way, it’s rather creepy!
Lots Of Deers
Hungry Otter
There are so many incredible photos you get to see when these trail cams get into action, and capturing animal territory is one of its specialties. This photo shows us how much goes on when we are nowhere in sight, and these animals get to roam freely. Here we have an otter captured with a fish in its mouth – obviously on a quest to satisfy its hunger. It is an interesting yet extraordinary photo because it is rare and not one we’ll see too often.
Hungry Otter
Owl On The Attack
You may not see owls as often as you see other birds, so it was worth cherishing when this picture was released. It is pure beauty when you take a deeper look at it. As seen here, the owl was on a mission to strike the deer when the cam decided to capture the perfect second. It could be that the deer was not the real target for the attack, but it could be the owl spotted something, and the deer somehow stepped in the way while he was heading down. What a photo!
Owl On The Attack
Warring Eagles
To capture an eagle on a camera is always a beautiful scene, and something every photographer desires to accomplish. For some reason, it seems like an extraordinary moment. But, how often are you likely to capture two eagles at odd – literally fighting?! This camera was on a roll when it decided to grace us with such a magnificent capture. For a fact, if someone had told us they saw two eagles fighting, it would be harder to believe, but seeing the pic on cam, we have no choice but to love it.
Warring Eagles
Flying Squirrel
Just imagine how beautiful this scene would have been if we were to see it in full action – just spectacular! The trail cam captured a squirrel flying over the head of a deer, and it is just beautiful. There is no telling if the deer was the target or the squirrel was simply trying to take a shortcut over the animal to get to its target. However, whatever the situation might be, we know a beautiful capture was done here. It was the perfect shot and done at the perfect timing.
Flying Squirrel
Selfie Time
The photos on this list are stunning, but we have to give credit to this capture as it is a standout from the rest. It has a funny and exciting touch, as shown here, is the perfect selfie being captured. A raccoon was trying to take a selfie when his pic got photobombed by two deers who popped out of nowhere from the look of things. He seems more like an inquisitive animal to step up and see what was planted and what it was for. The capture decided to capture his quest for more knowledge.
Selfie Time
Fox And Raccoons
This trail cam decided to capture a scene where a fox and a raccoon were about to head to war to settle their differences. We don’t know who won the fight, but we are wondering if the raccoon could stand up to the heat of the fox. Well, there was an alternative for the raccoon should there be any issues with the war at hand, and he needed to get out of there. A taxi was parked behind him, and it could be an escape method, but from the look of things, the taxi seemed to be out of service for a while.
Fox And Raccoons
Partying Raccoons
Whatever these raccoons are eating, it seems to be something they were not supposed to be eating, but they were eating it nonetheless. These two raccoons were still indulging in the food while some were lying around either with a full tummy or they were trying to relax after a hectic day of gallivanting. These two raccoons seem to be planning for a night full of fun and play because they are not ready to give up the food they are indulging in. There are some wild ones.
Partying Raccoons
Hungry Fox Kits
When one is hungry, they will go above and beyond to get some food in their system, and these beautiful fox kits were among the group who needed to get some food in their system. No matter their age or size, Foxes are cute and are almost a gem to look at. We have to say they are super cute for these babies here, and we would look at them all day long. Their adorable features make them stand out from other animals, and the mother seems oh-so-proud to be feeding her babies.
Hungry Fox Kits
Buffalo Transportation
Just as much as we have uber service in the human world to take us all over the country, it is almost the same as with the animal kingdom, with Buffaloes being the mode of transport for many animals. When you take a stroll through the forest, you are bound to see some smaller animals riding on the back of a buffalo in a bid to get from point A to point B. The capture you see here is a cat, which is probably tired, trying to rest his or her leg and saw the perfect “car” to get them around.
Buffalo Transportation
Two Deers Against One Coyote
Sometimes we try to take on more than we can handle, and we see a perfect scene with a single coyote trying to tackle two deers and hoping to be victorious in this quest. He even has a gnarl on his face, and this doesn’t seem to be a bother for any of the deers as they know he could probably not even manage them, but he has to put up a tough fight. We don’t know what happened to be in this position, but we would really hope to know what happened after this pic was captured.
Two Deers Against One Coyote
Broken Camera
It is not all the time that trail cameras go unnoticed, as many animals know when something strange is in their environment. Being mindful of their surroundings, they know when their privacy is breached and get very offensive about it. This camera has a hole in it because it seems an animal, a woodpecker, perhaps, was really angry and needed it gone. The job was done as per the animal’s desire, as this was the last picture taken by the trail camera. This lesson should be learned by everyone ready to set up a camera.
Broken Camera
Tiger Covered In Mud
A trail cam captured this tiger as he was completely covered in mud and acting as though it was nothing. Interestingly, it is not a strange activity for animals in the woods and desert to indulge in actions like these as they claim the mud helps to cool them down and provide a barrier for them from the striking sun. Hopefully, this result will provide a protective element for this tiger as the mud is pasted on to his body. The next time you see an animal covered in mud, this is the reason they look that way.
Tiger Covered In Mud
Another “Uber” Service
From the look of things, buffaloes are not the only ones used as a transportation mode for others moving around. Smaller animals find it pretty challenging to traverse far journeys without getting tired, and so this is where large animals come in to give them some solace and provide a level of hope for them. Here we see a trail cam capturing a raccoon taking a trip on the back of a feral hog. The hog doesn’t mind the small guy taking a ride on its back.
Another Uber Service
Feasting At Midnight
There is no time set for families to eat and enjoy some good time together, and this family of deers has proven how true this is. This trail cam captured a large family of deers enjoying a great meal and making the most of it. Probably it was a special occasion, and they only got this chance to enjoy it at close to midnight in the middle of the woods. Each deer even had their own little bit that they were making the most of, and it seemed so delicious.
Feasting At Midnight
Escape Mission
There comes a time in our lives when we have to think fast and hope our last-minute actions are the best and will be rewarding for us. This raccoon right here knew his life was in danger and hoped that his action would be the deal-breaker for him. The cam captured him seamlessly escaping the snare of a coyote, and, for a fact, it seemed like a sneaky one. We know this coyote will not have a raccoon for its dinner, and we are delighted the raccoon will be living to see another day.
Escape Mission
BattleField
Animals tend to battle it out when it comes to getting some food, and the automatic feeds are where the battle lines are drawn. Here on this trail cam, you can see a deer and a raccoon ready to hit out at each other, and it will all take place under the automatic feeder. The pic is exceptionally fantastic and was captured when we would possibly not have seen it during the day. It is just incredible how animals can act, and we often do not see most of the real actions that occur.
BattleField
A Clown In The Woods
Clowns are meant to be a great fun feature of our lives, but in some cases, like the one captured on this trail cam, it can be really creepy and frightening. The question we have is…what was a clown doing in the middle of the forest at that time? To make the picture scarier than anything else, the clown is staring directly at the trail cam and makes it seem as if there is something terrible that he would do to anyone he catches. We love clowns but not this one so much.
A Clown In The Woods
A Bunny’s Sad Reality
There are so many things that happen in the forest, and one of them includes the smaller animals becoming prey for the more vicious animals. The sad circle of life is that many animals become victims, even in their own territory, just like this little rabbit. His life was about to end, and he was not even aware of anything going on. The trail cam captured a mountain lion getting ready to pounce on the rabbit, and it is all too evident that he will not make it out alive—poor bunny rabbit.
A Bunnys Sad Reality
A Time Of Love
Sometimes we get a chance to spot animals enjoying the company of each other, while there are other times some animals prefer to keep their private lives out of the eyes of the public. Here we see two deers having their moment, and the trail cam was right there to capture every bit of it. It could be that they were just cleaning themselves, but either way, it was a great moment for the world to see a sweet side of them. They were super cute to see them in a position like this.
A Time Of Love
Bird Fight
Animals do fight a lot, just as humans have their differences, and like eagles, we saw in an earlier pic getting at each other, here we see another set going head to head. But what was the problem here? It seems as though they were fighting over a cool and comfortable tree limb from the look of things. That part of the tree seems to be a delicacy in the woods for these animals, and they are willing to fight their way for victory. It is a really cool picture, and we are glad the trail cam was in place.
Bird Fight
Munching Boar
There is no way this raccoon will stand the attack of this boar as they are known to be a towering creature for many small animals. When they are around humans, boars can get aggressive, so imagine when they come in contact with a small animal like this. The boar munching on the raccoon was a frightening and scary view, but it sure comes as no surprise to us. Only a trail cam could be in place to really see all of this go down.
Munching Boar
Standing Wolverine
The picture captured by this trail cam shows clearly a wolverine-looking animal, and we must admit it was a good snap. We can’t really say if it is a wolverine or not, seeing it is standing on its hind legs. We know a wolverine features heavy muscles and is a carnivore that looks like a small bear. It’s not often that you will see a view like this while driving through the woods, so we have to give credit to the trail cam set up at this location.
Standing Wolverine
Eating Santa’s Hat
We all strive to be good, so we can make it to Santa’s good list and get the gift we desire to have. But, for this bear, we can tell he could be getting nothing more than coal for his Christmas treat. The trail cam captured him being super naughty as he was chewing on Santa’s hat. He didn’t make things great for him with his rude little actions, but we have to say it is adorable to see him being playful…enjoy yourself man!
Eating Santas Hat
Possessed Moose
Moose are always strolling around, and many people are not aware they can have a little creepy side to them sometimes. Don’t believe these innocent animals can ever scare anyone? The capture this trail can pick up is totally different and one that will have you eyeing a moose the next time you one. For a fact, this one looks super creepy and seems like it is possessed with some devil element. There is a clear signal now that we better keep our eyes on them whenever we see one in the distance.
Possessed Moose
Food Galore
They always say a friend in need is a friend indeed, and this raccoon has proven to be a great one. Here we see it atop the bird feeder sprinkling the seeds all over the birdcage, and they sure are grateful for it. Just look at how cute it looks as the mass is patiently waiting below to get a taste of the delicious seeds coming down. We all could do with a special friend like this raccoon in our lives, and he has certainly restored our faith in humanity.
Food Galore
Insane Deer
When we are not around, animals can get up to some crazy stuff, but as soon as they see us approaching, they are nothing but a saint and the best-behaving creature. Thankfully, this trail cam captured a deer as he was up to nothing but pure insane and crazy actions. The deer seems to be falling from a great distance and a funny fall from the look of things. Certainly, his friends have no idea what he is doing, and they have this crazy look about what could be wrong with their friend. The capture was totally superb!
Insane Deer
Haunted Flying Squirrel
The trail cam captured this squirrel going straight for the deer, and it was a haunted-looking experience. He seems to be directly attacking the deer, and we can’t say why this was happening. Interestingly, the deer was on a mission to escape, and the camera made sure to snap all this while it was going on. Could it be the squirrel was on a defensive mission and trying to protect its own? It seems the deer was feasting on the apples the squirrel was trying to capture as their own.
Haunted Flying Squirrel
Close-Up Version Of A Cat
Having a close-up with the camera is sometimes a cool experience, and it seems this cat was trying to see what this felt like. Here we see a cat being super close to the camera, and it is certainly a sight to behold. But, when we take a closer look at the picture, there is one thing that is too evident…he doesn’t seem to be in a great mood. He is on a mission, and it is not a friendly one, so you may want to be extra cautious if you are in his way or even happen to spot him during a night.
Close Up Version Of A Cat
Porcupine Fight
Trail cams are always capturing every activity in the woods, and a famous one includes the numerous fights they are engaged in. Humans are always fighting, and it seems they are not the only ones who go at each other. Animals do have disagreements, and this trail cam capture has proven this to us. Here we see two porcupines going at each other, and we don’t know the reason for their fight. To say which one would eventually go home with the victory, we cannot say, but it is clear…this fight is really tough.
Porcupine Fight
Baby-Making Mission
We all have our time when we get up close and personal with our significant other, and these deers were showing us how exciting and memorable it can be. It is clear they chose a secret place to do their deeds, but it is a pity they do not know a trail cam is capturing their deeds. Their privacy has been invaded, but they don’t know and obviously don’t care. We shouldn’t be surprised if we see a few fawns running around the place anytime soon as they get in their groove.
Baby Making Mission
Tasting The Camera
We all go through that moment when we see something interesting – food that is – and is eager to see what it tastes like. Trying new cuisine is our goal, and we always want to add something fresh to the menu. Well, this deer is just like us and is curious to see what everything tastes like. He somehow spotted the trail cam and walked right over and started licking the screen in a bid to see what it is. Curiosity can be a tricky thing, and if it is not quenched, you will be troubled forever.
Tasting The Camera
Fighting Again
Fighting seems to be a common thing in the woods, and these animals cannot control their anger. There are countless amounts of fights captured on trail cams, and this is a clear sign there are countless amounts that go unnoticed in the woods. Just like humans who need anger management, these animals are badly in need of a few lessons themselves as they don’t know how to control their behavior toward each other. They seem to snap at each other for the least of things and have a lot of disagreements.
Fighting Again
More Biting And Fighting
There seems to be a lot of fighting in the animal kingdom, and there are most times a trail cam right in position to capture it all. Here we see a buck going at war with a hunting animal – probably a dog or a cat…we are not too sure! However, all is not going well as the buck seems to be a recipient of some serious injuries as it has some severe bites on its back leg. What could be the issue between these two? Whatever it is…the trail cam has captured it all.
More Biting And Fighting
A Girl Between Some Deers
These are some bizarre things that go on in the woods, and most of them are questionable. Take, for instance, this one here captured on the trail cam. There is an unexplainable reason behind why a girl is between a pack of deers in the middle of the woods…in the middle of the night. We don’t know what is going on, but it is too strange and a bit creepy if you ask us. Could she be some kind of ghost, or was she lost in the woods, and these deers provided protection until she got some help? These answers we will never get.
A Girl Between Some Deers
Deer Up High
When a deer is on all fours, it can be so tall and leave us wondering its true height. But, when it comes to them going on two legs, you will be left asking how they got so tall. Interestingly, if deers could be approved as models, we can tell you this one would be strutting down the runway – leaving everyone in awe. Tyra would have no other option but to sign him up for one of those famed fashion shows. This trail cam captured this incredible photo of a deer going on his twos, and it is wonderful.
Deer Up High
Deer Selfies
There is one in every two people that love to take selfies and make a crazy moment out of it. If you were to go on the internet, you would see many people with their tongues sticking out of their heads, and like us, countless animals love to get crazy just the same. Take, for instance, this deer that the trail cam captured, staring into the screen with its funny self. He is making the most of the moment, and we have to love this one as it creates a smile on our faces each time we see it.
Deer Selfies
Howling Coyotes
This trail cam is positioned where it captured a great view of the moon and the results it picked up…we love it! The way it is positioned captures some coyotes howling at the moon, and as you are staring at the pic, we are sure you can almost hear the sound as much as we hear it. It is a spectacular view, and animals’ lives can be so exciting and have us loving their every action. Maybe they are trying to send a message to the moon and hoping to get a signal back.
Howling Coyotes
Power Cat
When there is a showdown between animals, it is often clear who the predator is and who the prey is, but, in this case, we are in a tense mode. From the capture on this trail cam, we see two deer and a cat in the middle of a tense moment, but this cat is sure that he will come out the victor of this stare war. They are closely eyeing each other, and we won’t be able to tell what the results were like, but hopefully, it ended peacefully, and nobody got hurt in the process.
Power Cat
Getting A Lift
There are many animals born with the ability to help themselves when it comes to moving around, while others need some help. Here we see a trail cam capturing a heart-warming moment of a mommy bear helping her cub to get some food. He needed to get a lift, and mom stepped up and helped him gain a level of independence by reaching his own meal for the day. It is so cute, and it gives us a sense of inner peace, and we have to give this mama bear a medal for great parenting.
Getting A Lift
Hello Y’all
Wolves are always mindful of their surroundings, and this picture shows us that they notice something about their environment. How often or how possible is it for anyone to get such a close-up look of a wolf? It turns out this wolf found the trail cam, and the capture shows it was curious to know what was going on and the purpose of the strange item in their space. No wonder they look so intrigued to find out what was going on and the real purpose of the screen they were staring into.
Hello Yall
Caught In The Act
Making a fresh catch is one of the world’s best feelings, and this bear has proven how good it feels. Bears are one of the best fishers the world has ever seen as it is their main source of feeding, so they have to be perfect at the trick. We humans could really learn a thing or two from them because their catching game is perfect, and from the look of things, this is one proud bear who is really pleased with the results he has received from his hard work. Good capture!
Caught In The Act
Deer On Deer
We are not sure what is going on here – whether the night is freezing and trying to stay warm, or probably something happened in the camp, and a meeting was called to order. The gathering and closeness sure provide lots of warmth for the batch, and the trail cam has captured every bit of the moment. Besides that being the case, it could also be that a mommy deer is about to give birth, so the others came to give some support. Either way, we love togetherness!
Deer On Deer
A Challenge Between A Cat And A Coyote
Here we see a trail cam has captured an incredible scene where a cat and a coyote are going head to head in a challenge. From the look of things, it seems as though the coyote is winning the battle, but we do have a confident cat who decides not to go down without a fight. He makes it clear that he will die trying to make his way through without giving up for no just cause. Hopefully, they can settle their differences before the problem gets any deeper.
A Challenge Between A Cat And A Coyote
Party Time
I know we all want to get the answers as to how this guy got in this position, but from the look of things, it is clear he has had a lot to drink – maybe too much! We don’t know if he even knows a deer is right next to him, or it is a case where he was happy to have the company and just rolled with the current circumstances. Amidst everything that is going on, we hope he enjoyed the whole experience and safely got home. This trail cam was in a snapping mode and was not up for missing any of the action.
Party Time
Dog And Buck
This capture is something you will not see every day as, how possible is it for a domesticated dog to come in contact with a buck? This, for sure, was an interesting meet-up, and we can just imagine the drawback they both had before they came together like this. They were so intrigued to know more about each other, and we are hoping they develop a cool and safe relationship and one that will last a while. Many people believe it is never safe for wild and domesticated animals to come in contact with each other as they can get defensive in trying to protect their space.
Dog And Buck
Break Time
This trail cam captured a cute little otter enjoying a little snack between his daily activities and movements. However, in the middle of eating his food, he is staring right at the screen and probably thinking…”what am I looking at?” We are super excited to see this beautiful part of nature, so we can imagine what this trail cam owner feels when they get a chance to see what their tech tool captured. Well, no matter what was going on, this otter was not about to stop his food break.
Break Time
Fireworks Time
Humans are always excited when the holidays come around as the skies are lit up with all the fireworks there is to offer. Fireworks are also a great addition for those special occasions and as much as we enjoy them, do you think animals do the same? Well, this trail cam captured a deer enjoying an undivided view of a fireworks show. He seemed so amused and comfortable and was making sure he had the whole story to go back and tell the camp about. Now we know animals are so close to us humans because we enjoy just about the same thing.
Fireworks Time
The Chase
Many prey do not easily get away from their predators as they often come out at night and make the chase easier for predators and harder for prey. We cannot tell the outcome of this trail cam capture, but it is clear the mountain lion is giving a great chase towards this deer. We don’t know if he will get away from this predator, but we are all rooting for what is right, and hopefully, everybody comes out of this situation happy – if that is possible.
The Chase
Keeping Abreast Of This Hunting Mission
This capture right here is a unique and fascinating one as we see a hawk being successful with its food capture and probably heading in for the day. But to top off the whole experience is a deer who is in the background taking a check of all the situations going down. Maybe he is watching to see if there will be any leftovers for him to enjoy should the hawk drop off anything. The whole scene is like a movie showing while an audience is watching closely.
Keeping Abreast Of This Hunting Mission
Got Him
Millions of people worldwide watch discovery channels daily to get a view of the successful chasing missions of predators against their prey. For a fact, it is sad this fawn was captured by its predator and will not be able to make it out alive. But, it is just how life works in the woods and the circle of life for animals. Here we see a coyote who was so concerned about his family and his own survival and simply wanting to make it out alive.
Got Him
Glowing Eyes
There is a famous saying, “like a deer caught in headlights,” and I think we got a real-life setting of it in this trail cam capture. It may seem as though the deer in this picture is possessed but what really happened is that the animal was positioned right where the lights would reflect in their eyes and give off this look. Many people don’t know that deer prefer to hunt their food at night in a bid to escape the trap of their predators. That doesn’t even mean they are always safe because predatory animals may very much know this trick and set for them too.
Glowing Eyes
Off-Guard Capture
Women know the disaster of not being ready for the camera, and if they were ever to see themselves in a situation like this..it would sure be a rough day. From the look of this picture, it is clear this little guy was not ready for the close up because he seems to be all over the place and was caught off-guard. It was what makes this photo so much more fun, and it is also evident the little guy is scared like something was after him. But what could be the problem that we can’t see?
Off Guard Capture
Bear Business
Seeing this bear taking a pop squat is such a funny coincidence, and we have to smile about the whole thing. The funniest part is the reaction on his face that is saying how embarrassed he is to be in such a situation even though he has no clue his actions are being recorded. His reaction was probably a result of him being scared of the flash from the trail cam, but it is obvious he was not in the best state of mind because of his actions.
Bear Business
Up Close Anteater
Anteaters are a bunch of intriguing animals that many people find interest in as they possess some unique attributes and make them stand out from other animals. However, the capture from this trail cam makes this particular one somewhat creepy and intimidating. However, it is not the real version of the animal as it is only the flash that has made its eyes glow yellow. He may just be minding his business and got caught in the flash as he triggered the sensor on the cam.
Up Close Anteater
Caught In The Antlers
From the way this picture was taken, it seems as though the buck was in war with a pig, but it is somewhat clear he has no idea it is only a fake pig made of plastic. But, to add to the troubles, the plastic pig has been caught and trapped in its antlers, and this is really a big mess no animal would want to find itself in. It is a funny yet strange photo, and we do hope this buck managed to get some help in freeing itself from this entanglement.
Caught In The Antlers
A Polka Dot Moose
Many people may be wondering what kind of animal this is – could it be a cow, or is it a horse? Well, it is neither of those two but rather a polka dot moose. It is certainly a rare sighting, and we are loving the uniqueness of this animal and wouldn’t mind seeing one the next time we are in the woods. There are so many interesting features about a moose as many you may not have known they have a vegetarian diet. Thanks to this trail cam, we get a chance to see some of the best attributes of nature.
