I need to get some cameras, I had one before and gave it away.

Ive got one male cat I like a lot and he wont eat or mess around with anything inside so I let him in. Yesterday I open the window for him to jump in and he was a horrible stinking mess. He got in a fight with another cat on top of the bait pile and it must have been some type of pi$$ing battle because the cat was covered in urine. What a nightmare, I threw him outside right away and my place smelled like rotten meat and horrible pee all last night. They could have been rolling in the frozen rotten bladder or something, it was a gnarly stink.
 
My bait "pile". (as viewed thru my scope) Road kills hung in a tree on the opposite side of a lake 153 yards away from my "stand". I piled the branches and brush behind the carcasses so they would have to come out front to eat otherwise they just hid behind the trees and carcass. Visitor pics to follow (some of them are no longer with us)

Many years ago there was a road kill deer next to a busy 2 lane out in the country, there was a big red tailed hawk setting on it feedingā€™ up to that point I never knew that, upon reflection and reading no animal will pass up a free meal. Reckon we are the same way
 
Cool pics/videos, Don. Thanks for sharing.
Never set up a bait pile or game camera, tho I have taken advantage of watching a number of deceased critters over the years.
Ambushed a couple of coyotes over a dead zebra here and these Cara Cara were cleaning up all that remained just a few days later.

Doesn't take the birds long to find a dead critter. Shot this coyote, made a couple stands and passed by the spot a bit later. This hawk had already staked his claim and was prepared to defend it.
