Boden Canyon Cams: Two Lions, Hunters, and Motorcycle

We checked our two cams in Boden Canyon yesterday.  The Stealthcam, set to trigger 6 photos, took over 1,800 photos.  It wasn't the wind blowing branches this time, but rabbits!  More than 1,700 pictures of rabbits!  Apparently there were burrows right in front of the camera, as the rabbits seemed to pop up and down like in the game Whack A Mole.  We did get two mountain lions together, and at least one of them looks like a cub, which would make sense because mountain lions are not social animals.

Unfortunately, we had several days in which hunters passed by, even though the cams were well off the trail. A motorcyclist also purposefully spun his rear wheel to send dirt at our camera.  Motorcycles, bicycles, and dogs off leash are not permitted on this ecological preserve, but there is no enforcement that we've ever seen, and disrespect for the rules. Game bird hunting is allowed, but not deer hunting.

We decided to not leave the cameras out in this area for the next couple of months - just too many people all of a sudden.

 This one in particular looks cub-like to me.

Three rabbits in this photo.  Unfortunately we ended up with over 1,700 rabbit pictures to have to go through.  Luckily I did, because in that mess was the mountain lion photo capture.

This mountain lion passed by, then seemed to scratch or rub on the camera post from behind.

This illegal motorcyclist purposefully spewing dirt on our cam.

Not sure if this is one or two mountain lions.
