>>2228174My friend cancelled a hunting trip last minute. Figure I might as well go and set up some mock scrapes (basically a metting spot for deer) and trail cams and prep for the next trips since I wasn't doing anything anyways. It's quite a bit out and I'd have to spend the night. I'm not super comfortable sleeping innawoods alone because I've heard some really weird shit over the years, but figured I've got my dog and my gun and could sleep in the car so it'll be alright.
Get there and set everything up and return to the car where my dog is waiting (can't bring the dog to the scrapes because he'll leave a scent). It's getting dark and I make myself comfortable and make sure all the doors are locked and windows covered and go to sleep.
Wake up the next day and my dog is fucked up. His ears are down and his tail is tucked between the legs and he's acting weird, like something scared him. I talk to him and pet him and get him to calm down a bit a drive back home.
Return the next weekend with my friend and we go check the first scrape. There's nothing on the trail came so we go check the second scrape. My friend is checking the trail cam when he's like, "Hey, what's this?" And I'm like, "Any luck?"
He shows me the picture and it's my car. I'm like, "What the..?" The first shot is from some distance away. The second right next to the side window on the passenger side. The third shot is a shot of an animal's eye and ear covering most of the image with the car in the background. I pause... and then it hits me...
It's my fucking dog. Someone, or something, opened my car somehow, took my dog out and held it in the air and took a picture of him against the car. Then put it back inside again and returned the camera to the scrape.
Told my friend what'd happened and we noped the fuck out and have never returned to that spot.
