I left a wooden stepladder leaning against the outside of the deer blind. I just didn't get around to putting it back inside.
Something climbed to the top of the stepladder, moved the camera, then promptly went back down the ladder. I think this may be a large rat? Early in the video it shows a long snout. Late in the video I think I see a thin furry tail like a packrat. Thoughts?

That’s nuts!

A coon moved a camera on me a couple of weeks ago too. No ladder though - that's interesting!

ok, coon!



yeah, it never occured to me something would climb the ladder.

A few months ago, a coon moved one of my Blink Security cameras that's on a telephone pole. I went back to shoot the coon, when the alarm went off and I saw the videos, but it was gone by the time I got there.

It has a furry tail; not a rat.
Also, thanks for the reminder as to a good reason to not be on Rumble.

When a coon plays with a camera it's because he can hear the lens. If coon is hearing it coyotes can too. If they are trotting through they may not hear or notice it but if they are working a set it usually spooks them. Food for thought.

I couldn't connect to cameras this morning so I went down to find a tree fell on the blind and knocked the wifi antenna out of alignment.
That ladder is bigger than I remembered. It looks more like 8' than 6'.

this is the ladder the coon climbed, where it was when it climbed.



There's a wifi antenna under the tree on this side


This appears to be the only damage from the tree

Glad I could help you out!
