Ignore the date and time. I'm new at the trail cam stuff and in my excitement forgot to adjust the time and date.

Great Pictures! looks like you have a good spot..

Keep them comming..

Just a little advise, from many trials & errors with my cameras I found out if you set the camera back 10-20 feet from the water hole or trail you can get alot better picture of the whole body shot & you have a better chance of getting more pictures because the the motion sensor will have a larger distance to cover.

Just a thought, if it makes any sense!

Really sharp and clear.
What brand of camera are you using?
Another tip, have your cameras mounted out of reach when the elk have shed their velvet or they will come and tear them out of the tree for you.

Thanks for the good suggestions. I realized the camera was too close to the trail when I looked at the pictures. Out of the 300 plus pictures on my SD card, most were pictures of "elk parts" and not the whole elk. I also found that the elk will lick and rub the camera off the tree if it's within reach and not securely tied down. This trail cam stuff is addicting and I'm headed out this afternoon to retrieve another one. I drew out for the Wasatch LE Archery tag this year and I'm having a great time scouting and stomping all over the unit. Again, thanks for the input and I'll have more pictures soon. The camera is a Moultrie cam I bought on ebay through http://www.huntbuzz.com. I got the camera for $85 with $9 shipping. I was impressed with the picture quality too.
