Be sure to read reviews before purchasing, and try to get an infra-red. The Non-typical Cuddeback Capture worked great for awhile, but eventually the local critters grew tired of going blind from the flash and began avoiding the area. I moved the camera and caught some of my former victims by surprise the first night but they wised up even further and with this latest camera relocation; I've had zip. As for that suspected jaguar thing, I just don't know what to think. I keep finding scratched up places on the ground-just out of camera range. I had read that researchers in Mexico use skunk glands and Calvin Klein's Obsession to lure suspicious jaguars close enough to their hidden cameras for photos. So, I bought some Obsession and sprayed it on the ground in front of the camera two days ago. Today, near my camera, but off to the side, I found another scrape and there was that same skunky, rank, salty smell I'd smelled before near the scratch marks by the pond several days ago. No photo of course. The other animals stayed away as well, I noticed. There's probably a twitter about me out there: "Danger: bright flash. Avoid plastic boxes" 3-9-09, Picazo Farm logging road, possible ground scrape From 2-24-09, Tracks and scat Unless I actually get a photo I can't say for sure what's leaving the tracks and scrapes. I sent some of the track photos to several big cat "experts" but only two answered, giving vague, non-commital answers that seemed to indicate they were as mystified as I was.

Hi Carolyn, I don't have any problem with any of that... all water under the bridge... Someone mentioned at another board of writing down your regrets for the year and then burning it and moving on ... and that is precisely what I have done... I don't know what you may have gathered from OHH, but I have always maintained that I am Christian, but I am not Christ, and I am not perfect... but I AM as good as the rest of the OHH'ers whether they believe it or not.. With that being said, I do hope that we can and will move on.. and that you will not judge me based on the "Bully Squad" and their opinions.. Happy New Year... CS

Ah, not even a cot, eh? Currently: Sleet and freezing rain, wind out of the North at 20, windchill five below, second round to arrive tonight... I HOPE you're feeling guilty, Joan. ;) Need more warming photos badly.

That is beautiful! I have a passion for sunsets!
