Ken asked that a page ago. My camera has been in the NM woods for a month or two. No lion pics yet, but a few elk (not really their preferred prey)
Looking forward to your BPL article someday, Kat! Especially in regard to placement and trigger settings.
Btw, my camera (Bushnell 119432cw) weighs 8.1 oz with batteries.
I just went through this entire thread; I was so very excited to get those first pictures I could barely stand it. Now I regularly delete hundreds of night time photos and most butt shots. I am mostly getting foxes at the moment. The little one I thought was gone is actually fine. He/she is sometimes with both parents, sometimes just one and lately alone too. The mountain lions are less regular, sometimes two weeks without any shots. Yesterday I started sewing at 6 am and by midday I needed a break so I went up the hill with our dog and got a few from a week ago ( then went back to sewing until 11 pm) . Today, same thing, sewing and by 2pm I needed a break, going crosseyed, so I went up again and saw that three hours after I was there yesterday another big kitty came by, full belly. Here are a couple foxes, with food.
I have hours worth of video on a different camera ; just foxes going back and forth all night. This one was pooping in front on the camera. Three foxes here. 
Not much as far as bobcats lately Here a little selection of big cats. Some pictures were dark so I brightened them. Also, the Browning trail camera interpolates more pixels ( I think that is how one describes that) which makes them seem sharper but that is done by the camera and can look weird. Hello there !! From yesterday My Buddy checking cameras with me yesterday A little later 
Finally made it to my last/ furthest three cameras this afternoon. Steep, loose shale hill, chain came off my bike and got stuck. Hot and humid. One mountain lion was there last night and a different one this mrorning. Little nervous hiking up, machete in one hand. Air horn in my pocket. Got tons of mediocre pictures but my first mountain lion kitten. Unfortunately the camera died minutes after the kitten went by. My guess is that since it was alone the den must not be very far.
@Tom. I wonder too….but that little one all alone is probably not a good sign. Have not seen any more of him/her either. This, from the other night. Would have been nice with the blue ocean in the back, but still. .
Hi Kat et. al, I hope I'm not out of line by posting to this thread, but here are some recent pics from my game camera of a lion (note wound on its side) followed 17 and 42 seconds later by 2 kittens.
Too many pics to post, but here are a few. Same spot as the last picture I posted. Third cat to take a nap in this spot with ocean view. The order isn't quite right, but from the time stamps you can see she was here for two hours! I saw the tracks and her bed…so I knew before getting the ad card out that it had to be a nap there.
