My first trail cam set

[Evoac05]

So here is my first set of pics. I put out 4 cams and let them soak for about a month. I definitely learned a lot from my first set. I forgot to bring a digital camera so that I could view the pictures as I setup the bait. Forgetting to do so, the camera view was off and didn't capture the bait pile in the pics. I also found out that everything grows fast this time of year as I have thousands of pictures of ferns, grass, shrubs, etc. Overall I am happy that I was able to get some animals on camera and learned a few things for next time.

I relocated 2 of the cams and kept the other two in the same spot. I changed out the batteries, SD cards, and re-baited each site. This time I was able setup the cams and bait piles correctly as I brought something to view the pictures. I baited each site with two different types of salt and some wet cob. I'll post pictures of my next set in about a month.

Nice pic's just did my first set and I'm looking forward to checking them in July. I'm addicted already and haven't even seen my first pic.

What kind of camera are you using?  Looks like the animals have it pegg'd every time.  noisy shutter or something maybe? 

I'd also be careful setting on a road like that...roads = humans which unfortunately means possibility of theft.  It's such a fun hobby, wouldn't want some jack-wagon to rob you of the pleasure.  I learn more every set too!

Thanks for the helpful tips Chukar. I am using Primos 35 and 46 cams. They are the refurbished cams and should have had the shutter noise fixed, but obviously didn't. I noticed that the animals heard the cams too from the pictures of them staring at the cam.

I moved a couple cams that had people in the area that noticed them. Fortunately nobody messed with them. I made sure to invest in security for the cams as I don't want them stolen. Each one has a security box, 3-4 lag bolts, python cable lock, and a heavy duty padlock. This should help deter any thieves.

No worries, sounds like you have got plenty of protection!  Looks also like  a good spot with good variety of game.  That one BT has some nice growth for late may.  Keep up the good work.
