My family and I hiked into the end of the estuary about
three weeks ago and actually walked downwind of two elk grazing. I managed to snap off a few long shots before
they noticed us and cautiously moved on.
Once they were gone we set up a game camera in what looked like a high
traffic area and left the site 
alone for two and a half weeks. Additionally, we set up three more cameras around the claim in areas that have good wildlife potential. One of the game camera sites is on the tent
in the tree trail where we got an amazing photo of a cougar in February 2008.
We checked the
cameras last week with very high hopes.
The camera where the elk were grazing said that it had taken 281 photos;
another camera read 157 shots. We rushed
home to check out 
what we got. Well
wouldn’t you know it we got 281 pictures of a stick blowing in the wind and 157 pictures of horseback riders and foliage. However, we did manage to get a picture of raccoon.
