Pictures of non game animals

For the boys from Texas this may not be a big deal but for a Georgia boy this got my attention. We took my 2 oldest grand kids on a western roadtrip this summer. My 11 year old grand son almost stepped on this bad boy while camping near Amarillo. A while later, right at dark the 13 year old did the same. It was almost dark and she didn't see it. It became quite aggressive toward her.

I have a very diverse piece of hunting land in Northern MN. In the 5 years I've owned it, I have captured Bobcat, Fisher, Marten, Flying Squirrel, Weasel, Mink, Otter (far away from open water), Timberwolf, Moose, Red and Gray fox (the gray really surprised me, well out of their normal range), and most every bird present in the area including a pileated woodpecker just before he hammered the objective lens on my camera.

Most recently, I captured a juvenile cougar, less than 6 months old and a possible video of Momma and 2 cubs a month prior(too foggy that morning to be conclusive). There is no breeding population in MN. BS. I have a very clear video of the juvenile with size references to 2 known age deer that passed the same trail in similar lighting that couldn't possibly have migrated from the Western Dakotas and it is presently under review by some concerned parties. They've asked me to take measurements and pictures of a couple of trees it passed in the video which I will do when I return to the property in a week. I'm still working on a good method to get my SD cards to talk to a computer.
 
I just found this thread. I was hunting in very cold weather yesterday, and had a pair of cardinals sit on a branch about 6” from my .270 muzzle. I had my phone out, but it was so cold the screen was sluggish so no pics.
