RonManci,
Nice setup and photos. Good looking area in the distance from your seat. It's really good to see how others go about it, equipment used etc. I'm like DoubleUp, I love photos; good for learning too.
That little .22 has really put some predators on the ground for you. The .22 rimfire is many times underrated by some. The little cartridge has been going strong for over a century and has accounted for numerous game animals and predators much larger than it's small size indicates. It's deadly in the hands of a good marksman.
What bullet / loads do you use in the .22?
Tells us about the lights you are using. Are they just normal flood lights? How do the coyotes and fox react to them?
Thanks for posting.
I only use the 40 grain CCI Velocitors. I turn the lights on the bait pile every night starting about two weeks before the season starts. It's just two 500 watt halogens mounted right to the tree. The coyotes will quickly get use to eating in the light. It also blinds them to me. They can look right at my stand but they cant see me because the lights are to bright.
Here is video for ya.

I finally had some action at the bait site last night. Problem is, the coyote was really spooked by the camera flash. Looks like I'll switch back to infrared.
There were fresh fish guts at the site, but he didn't touch them, just couldn't stand the camera. He first came to the site about an hour before these photos were taken (first photo was taken at 10:11 PM), so he apparently lingered around hoping for a meal, but ended up not risking it.

Looks like he was really on edge!

I've taken some very good coyote photos with that camera, but this coyote and the one I shot with the night vision outfit were very spooked by the flash. Given these last two incidences, I think I'll go back to IR. I love nice, color, night photos but it's better to have yotes at the site than scared out of their skins.

FOX-vs-POSSUM
Here's a few pics of recent trailcam action..
I staked a dead tree-rat (that committed suicide by stepping into the sights of my Benjamin/Sheridan pellet rifle) to the death log near my house in hopes of catching a passing yote on camera.
Little stinky was not amuzed (or in the mood to share) when Mr Fox interrupted his meal...
Fox are not known as fighters and most times are afraid of their shadow, But I give it some slack in this case - possums are nasty critters- especially when they are in the middle of gorging on a fresh tree-rat..
