The camera’s fine. It got knocked around till it faced the fence I’d mounted it to and never took another picture worth seeing in this session, but it’s fine.

Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means "The Ultimate Argument of Kings," and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. "We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it's about: You'll do as I say or I'll send my goons to kill you."
I thought about that for a long time. If there's an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I've got bullets - he's got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that's not going to happen. So if there's an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain't bullets.
It finally came to me - and that's when I left the city, abandoned a goodly percentage of my goods, and gave all that was behind me a good, stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Joel, they know the camera is there, and maybe they were merely turning it in another direction so they could drink in privacy. I’ve seen bears tear apart game cameras which were well hidden. It’s rather neat that wild animals still have and use senses we human animals have allowed to atrophy. I enjoy seeing the animals. so glad you have the camera. But elk, those hunted creatures, probably don’t trust anything about cameras. **
