I think he’s onto me

I get a ton of videos like this when I first put a camera in a new spot. The ability of deer to spot "something new" never ceases to amaze me.

I love those pics. I get ears, tails, antlers.... You have to wonder what they are thinking....

Out of 1500 pics I got from one of my cameras, 150 of them were of one of our horses rubbing his a$$ against the camera. So glad I spend all that time making sure the batteries were changed.

That's hilarious

I feel like they smell the inner components. Solder, oil from manufacturing, the scent of the assemblers. That's all protected in there and some of it never goes away.

And not to mention batteries. I can even smell batteries.

I also think it's just their natural ability to see anything new and out of place. I have deer coming into the set-up from a great distance, and because I'm using video, I can see them suddenly "lock on" to the camera and slooooowly approach. They usually spend some time sniffing and visually inspecting the camera. Then, once the camera does nothing threatening, they ignore it from then on.

I think it's funny getting pics like that. The spike in my photo actually rubbed on the camera and turned it about 6" on the tree. I went and fixed it the next morning and he had opened the front of it

Up here in my area it's the bears that are inquisitive. Last year I had a camera up on the mountain and the deer paid it no mind, but the bears were all over it. Don't know how many pics I got of a bears nose, eye, mouth, etc.

Yep, they definitely smell the cameras. Even with using gloves to hang and check them, they will still pick up on them.

Even stinkin yotes know when to look at the camera before doing something stupid. Look behind him….

I often get pictures of deer with their nose pressed right up to the front of the camera. One time I had a day's worth of pictures that were all blurry after that happened.. I believe she must have licked the lens.
