WOW...Those are some great photos ..Which Bushnell camera do you have ???  I need a couple !!!  crazy how that whole pack of wolves are all black ...

Most of them, including the one with the 6 wolves, are the bushnell x8.  Discontinued 2012 model.  If you keep an eye on ebay you can find them for around 100 bucks pretty regular.  Theyre my favorite cameras.  Ive put them side by side with all the brownings and they work much better.  Plus i get over a year battery life out of them with the energizer ultimate lithiums.  Went out to a couple this spring that had been up for 14 months and were still running.
Browning is the only cam I've used and I'm pretty satisfied with them, but I'm curious what specifically about the Bushnell X-8 you like better?  Does the X-8 have better range than the Brownings?

Ive put them side by side with browning cams, and the bushnells pick up animals that the brownings miss.  And im not talking squirrels, im talking cougars, bears, deer, moose, elk.  This pic for example.  This cam (bushnell aggressor) is mounted an inch away from a dark ops.  The browning didnt take a pic of this cat.

Always love to see your updates.  Those cougar pics during the day are awesome.  Are you going to go after one of those?
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.
