That’s exactly what photographerJeff Wirthdid to make it see the wildlife near his home in southwest Washington state.
But when he reviewed some of his latest footage, he found that he got way more than expected.
A passerby had noticed the setup and posed for a picture on a mossy log!
Wirths intention with the trail cam was to photograph elusive wildlife.
He came back the next day with a DSLR trap in hopes of catching a glimpse of the creature.
Wirth later returned to check the gear and thats when he noticed the mystery man.
I never get humans on camera, so this was interesting.
As you may notice, he was not camera-shy, to say the least.
He hammed it up pretty good and left me with a sequence of images in a variety of poses.
But thanks to the internet, the model didnt remain anonymous for long.
I posted the images on the internet, and they took off!
Turns out he was doing invasive plant management along the creek I was set up on.
Are you kidding me?
