Trail Cam Movement
Just wondering what everyone thinks this is handling my trail cam. Camera is about 5' up the tree. When I want to retrieve it I stepped in fresh elk shiat but doesn't look like an Elk to me.
Thanks

Moose, buggers are curious...or Sasquatch. 
At least you still got it, two legged critter more than likely would have walked off with it

We had a curious cow elk completely turn a cam the wrong way. Is was so turned I thought someone did it on purpose just to make me mad... until I pulled the card to find it was an elk.

Looked like a elk to me from the quick flash. Elk move mine frequently as well. One year i could not keep cams in right spot as the elk kept licking the cameras. I dont know what i got on them but it was frustrating.

My vote is for elk as well, based on the mane/neck hair.
