Trail camera pics

These two mature Gobblers have taken up residence of late on my Buddy’s 45 acre property. We have taken some 22-24 lb Birds in the recent past, but they have been from neighboring farms and a nearby Corps of Engineers buffer zone. We have been cultivating food plots, for Game and Non Game Species alike, over the past four years with increasing success.
They have been spotted a few times over the last month roosting on the ridge next to my stands. Looking forward to Spring!

I checked a couple cameras today to see how many bucks are still holding onto their antlers, and I had caught a pic of this guy sneaking through. I know they are around, because I hear them and find tracks in the snow, but they rarely step in front of the camera.

Well, we nicknamed this Deer “Gnarles Barkley”, but unsure of sex. Has been seen for past two years, but never in daylight. Quite an anomaly in the antler growth, more like a helmet. Genetic malfunction?
Had a whitetail similar to that around my place. First year just figured he was young. Second year didn’t see him again until late in the year and thought it might be nice to have a unicorn mount and not a bad idea to cull him from the gene pool, but never had the chance.

Third year she had a fawn in tow all summer. Never saw her after that. Always wondered if that was the last year for the antler, or she didn’t make the winter.

Most around my area still have antlers. Even the smaller ones. These were about a week ago. The time/date is screwed up.

I was surprised (but not shocked) to find coyote tracks in fresh snow in my small backyard. I had thought it highly unlikely given the fencing, terrain, and locale. Now I'd like to get some nighttime photos. I don't need a trail cam as it will literally be placed at my back door, not some remote location. So I'm thinking some kind of Ring camera with a (wireless) link to my indoor laptop, and possibly text alerts. What does anyone recommend for this simple requirement? Easy setup and low cost are pluses.
