i got my cam alll setup just havent got a chance to get it out sd batteries and all bad idea ?

TriggerMike:
I would take at least the batteries out. The batteries corroded the terminals in my Bushnell over the winter and ruined the camera. It's cheap insurance  :twocents:

Dan-o:
Good timing.     


I literally threw a trail cam away yesterday

I was lazy and batteries in all 4 of mine.   Dug them out yesterday to place them this weekend, and will only be placing 3.   

Two batteries leaked.    I am lucky they were in the same camera.

Most cameras I keep the batteries in and have never had an issue over time and with tons of cameras.  However, my 7D2 drains the battery for some reason.  I'm told that even when you turn it off the gps is still running.  Either way, I have to pull the batter on just that cam.  You can leave cards in your camera forever with no issues.

I lost a cam this year due to not removing batteries.   :bdid:
