Wildlife Caught on Camera—Volume 13

The Boone and Crockett Club’s Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Ranch (TRMR) is an outdoor classroom on an epic scale. From kid camps to Scout expeditions, the TRMR is a place to slow down and watch as nature goes about her business. And what better way to watch than with strategically placed trail cameras?

The ranch has nearly three dozen wildlife trail cameras set in key locations, and those cameras take thousands of shots every year. The job of sorting those photos falls to Chris Hansen, Boone and Crockett Fellow at the University of Montana.

The animals that roam the 6,000-acre TRMR on Montana’s Rocky Mountain Front know every inch of their habitat. So when researcher Chris Hansen sets out dozens of cameras, those critters take notice. It seems their most curious with the smells associated with trail cameras, but the infrared flash sparks their curiosity as well. We pulled together some of the more amusing close-ups and candid shots of wildlife on the ranch, from grizzlies to ground squirrels. We hope you enjoy.
