trail camera

Oh great. Now I hear about Moultrie not being so good. Well, mine works pretty good but now I'll be paranoid. It has taken thousands of excellent photos of danged squirrels

I was on a budget though so I did not have the highest expectations. I'd love one of those $300 or $400 cams.

I've been very pleased with my Moultrie I40. Long battery life, even in sub-zero temperatures, clear images. Eddie's right about the IR night-time photos being black and white. I don't have mine aimed at a feeder, and have found that the mounting location has a lot to do with picture quality and eliminating "nuisance" shots. For example, the closer to the ground the better, camera and aim point not in direct sunlight, and minimal site disturbance.

What do you think?

I'm so jealous!!!

Great picture. Congrats on having so many bucks on your land. In a few years, there should be some real shooters!!!

I've been thinking about building a feed station like you have, but keep putting it off to do other things. Seeing your picture has me thinking I need to work on my priorities and build one right away. What are you feeding the deer? The sure do seem to like it.

Wow, that is a great shot of the deer. Awesome. I'm envious.

I'm with Eddie, great feeding station. Is it corn and oats you use?

Secret home recipe, and Jake isn't selling!

Seriously, it's a deer feed Deermaster Antler Mix??? That may not be the right name, but it smells like horse sweet feed. I can't take credit for the bucks either. It is from a friends place just down the road, but yes they are nice!

I just got this one, Trailcampro - Bushnell Trophy Cam 5.0 Mpxl Infrared Trail Camera
It works at night with the infra red flash, which shows just a red glow when it goes off. Its really good in the day time and can last for many months on its batteries, one of the most popular right now. Its super tiny too.

I don't have many pictures yet, but there a few night time ones here if you want to look, should be updated if I get more. I'm going to move it down into the woods, right now its on an apple tree. I want to see the local cougar.

Jinjimbob:
Nice pictures, very clear. I think I saw that camera advertised in the NRA magazine? I was hoping to hear from someone who tried it. Practically fits in your shirt pocket, price was a little higher than most.

Jealous and drooling.

I just got a trail cam and here's a few from my first day, (really night), on Sept 12th...the time is accurate...notice how as sunrise comes along the pics get lighter, (but still in the IR mode). The camera took a lot more, but these are a taste...I'm hooked now! SCDolphin helped with figuring out the best programming, and I am thankful for his advise. Now...he needs to post a few from his place!
