I did. It still only seems to pick up sometimes. I only know that because I have a tactacam in the same area.

Ok - the only thing I can think of is that there was just so much activity and fast movement that got my cam going.

Could be. Regularly I get deer like this one yesterday and I have activity zones set in the blue areas. But camera didn't trigger until deer was this close. Who knows. I still like it.
That's the difference right there. You have a lot of stuff in between the cam and game. The clip I posted up is pretty much a clear shot to the fence line and where the elk were running. I have tried setting up cams in similar situations as what you just posted and like you, I would just get nothing or too many false hits. I did try making small activity zones in between the trees or obstructions and that helped but I ultimately just moved my cams elsewhere.

Looks like he’s been eating well.We get a lot of animals coming through the property so I don't always check every clip that comes in. That said, I had some free time today and noticed one of WJCO's friends came by to pay a visit a few days ago

That’s funny, she “cleaned” the lens for you. Lol
LOL - yeah, that's one way of putting it. Funny thing is, I tried rotating the camera after but it wouldn't move. I think her saliva froze on it

Watch out for elk. They can do weird things which cause harm.
At our house in Arizona, I put a tall faucet protector on a tall faucet in the front of the property. A few times I found it mysteriously removed.
Then we returned to the house during the bitter cold of winter and found the faucet cracked with freeze damage. The faucet sock had been removed. Luckily, it was not cracked so much we could not use water at the house. We paid a lot of money for a plumber to come and replace the faucet in the rain and snow.
I thought that some transient or RV owner was coming and removing the sock.
After some time I realized that the elk were grabbing the thing at the top and pulling it off. They eat agave plants (stalks) the same way.
The elk might actually eat your camera!

LOL - as you can see in the video, it was definitely trying.
