My longest camera soak yet!
« on: March 06, 2019, 02:16:01 PM »
So I was excited to go get my trail camera today.  I had left it out for nearly a month.

I got 2035 pictures of a tree branch that was pushed down by the weight of the snow in front of the lens!!!   :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:   :chuckle: :chuckle:

Well at least you know with certainty what that tree is doing and when. You have it patterned. :chuckle:

Also been there. Underestimated the rate some grass grows. Cleared area in front of camera, left it a few months, first month or so, pics were great. Final month, grass had grown up, filled the card and burned out my battery.  :yike: :chuckle:

Yes!  :chuckle:

Even though I was hoping for better pictures, I am just glad no one stole my trail camera.

Mine have been up for 2 months yesterday, hoping to get to them tomorrow. Keeping fingers crossed they are still there and have good pics.

The trail cam jitters :chuckle: I remember not being able to leave my trail camera alone for more than a month. Now I only check once a year maybe twice if there’s something worth it :tup:

COOL, once I got 850 pictures of the wind moving the trees. Then some A-hole stole my camera.
