I got something on my camera I didn't expect

[E J]

My five year old and I went out to pull camera cards about an hour ago. He told me he was hoping we would get a bear or a moose on the camera. I told him there was no way that would happen. Well I'll have to stop telling him that because I sure didn't think I'd get a freaking elk or whatever it is on the camera either! I am in north central Wayne county and I'm pretty sure there aren't and game farms around so I have no idea where this thing came from.

Awesome, you get a pic of a Elk or a Stag and still not one pic of Big Foot.

That's quite a ways from me, not to say it couldn't be the same critter

Considering your in north central Wayne County, I'm wondering if it's an elk escapee from Savannah Dhu wildlife and fishing preserve in Clyde? Kind of a well known high fence private hunting preserve. The owner (Bob Congel) invites athletes and celebrities to hunt there. I visited that place while taking a course in college and we did some electroshocking in the lakes there. All I can say is WOW! Loaded with elk, deer, and Russian wild boar.

It sure doesn't take an elk long to go 30 or 40 miles if he is of a mind to...

When I was bowhunting / MZ  hunting elk out west it was not uncommon for elk to travel 8-10 miles daily between bedding areas and feeding areas...

To me it looks like  European species of deer  red deer definitely

Theres been one sighted on several trail cameras in Wayne county in the last week or 2. Also one down near Dansville as well. I do believe there is a couple preserves around Clyde Savannah area.. Cant remember the names

Stags or elk can’t detect infrared.... duh?!?
