A device for monitoring the passage of a big game animal along a game trail has a battery powered, digital clock within a container with the container wall provided with a telephone type of jack which includes a pull pin holding switch contacts apart to maintain the clock in operation. A trip line is connected to the pull pin and exerts a direct pull thereon when engaged by a passing animal with the position of the pulled free pin indicating the direction in which the animal was travelling.
