In hunting and the natural world, trail cameras have become a popular way to track animal activity when the camera detects nearby activity. It's a really cool way to see what's going on at night or in general. While most of the time there's nothing too exciting, sometimes the camera captures something that showcases the wonders of nature.
Below are different rare photos taken by trail cameras that are sometimes scary, sometimes funny, and sometimes downright spectacular. Check out these crazy photos caught on camera.
bucks wearing a hat
Being a young buck can sometimes bring some struggles. Living in the wild means that sometimes things get trapped in your antlers and your poor hooves can't get it out.
Be careful! The bear is running towards us!
How terrible! Imagine this bear walking towards you? It's certainly a good thing that the bear was caught on camera but not seen in real life.
Scary Deer
Now there are many deer in one photo! Literally too many to count... While deer aren't actually particularly scary animals, this photo of so many of them together looks scary.
Otter Eating fish
The otter is satisfying his craving with the fish he caught in the water. This otter looked stealthy as he carried the trophy back to his den.
Owl Attack
How amazing is this photo of an owl about to attack this deer? Owls are very shy creatures, so it's really a rare find. This deer has an affinity for owls for the rest of his life!
Do you think the owl was trying to pluck out the whole deer and eat it? Given the size of its small mouth, it should probably target smaller prey. Maybe the deer was blocking something else the owl was trying to take? Out of place!
Eagles fighting
This photo is exciting. Capturing an eagle on camera is very special. But catching two vultures in combat? ! Rarely seen now!
flying squirrel attack
This tracking cam captures a squirrel flying over a deer. Maybe the squirrel thought the deer was another branch he could jump to?
Raccoon Selfie
This photo is both funny and cute. Do you think this raccoon was trying to take a solo selfie and these two bucks photobombed his photo?
Raccoon and Fox
This raccoon and fox look like they are about to have a showdown. I hope the raccoon has a fight and doesn't try and doesn't think it's the taxi behind him because that car looks out of service.
Raccoon Party!
These raccoons are scurrying around looking like they've struck gold. Two of the raccoons were sleeping, while the others were enjoying life and any food they found.
Super cute fox suit
A trail camera captured this super cute picture of a fox feeding on its mother. Foxes are adorable at all ages, but as babies, their cuteness can be overwhelming. We're not sure their mom agrees, she looks like she's had enough.
Cat on a buffalo
In this photo, a cat rides a buffalo. Maybe buffalo is the Uber of the animal kingdom? It just goes to show how smart and cunning cats can be, even in the wild!
Coyote Deer Confrontation
This incredible photo captures a coyote trying to fight off two deer. He looked ready for action without even the slightest concern that he might be passed.
Raccoon rides a boar
Sometimes it's nice to hitch a ride with a friend, and this raccoon riding this boar definitely needed a break. Who says raccoons aren't cunning little creatures?
Giant Deer Buffet
It looks like the deer family may be celebrating a special occasion as they enjoy a feast in the forest.They didn't seem too happy to be disturbed, though.
Battle of Honor
This photo shows a raccoon and a deer fighting under an automatic feeder. It's hard to say who won at this point, but the deer definitely pinned the raccoon to the ground.
Poor rabbit
is not good! Poor bunny didn't realize that mountain lion was going to attack him. The rabbit seemed distracted by the camera. Hopefully he realizes what's behind him before it's too late.
Make it rain
That raccoon makes a great friend - spread the love in the form of bird seed from a trusty old bird feeder. We don’t believe the birds would be happy about this!
Flying squirrels appear
Flying squirrels look like they are heading straight for a deer. The deer thinks it can get rid of all those apples, but the squirrel doesn't seem to allow that.
Bear supports her cub
What an adorable parent-child moment! It looks like the bear is helping the cub get a bite.
Wolf's Gaze
What a cool image of a werewolf looking at us and vice versa! They seemed curious about a camera that might not fit in well.
Bear and salmon
Bears are known to be good fishermen, you can see this in the picture. This bear must be excited about lunch, he deserves it.
