New property cams checked
« on: May 11, 2025, 04:02:52 PM »
I was finally able to pull my cards from my cameras on the property in Okanogan Co.
I let them soak since July last year. I bought two new cameras they were GardePro's and I have to say for $55 they out preformed my expectations. The battery life was still at 4 out of 5 after 9 months. lots of pics and not very many of just bushes or trees moving. Most are triggered by small animals like, turkeys, squirrels, rabbits, skunks, coyotes, bobcats, and then the bigger game were, Whitetails, Mule deer, one bull elk, and a cow moose. I did not get one photo of a cougar, black bear, or wolf. That is a plus I guess. I got one series of a bobcat walking by with a squirrel in his mouth. Also a set of WT bucks tracking does in heat and sniffing the air. Around the week of November 14-20th.
All told it seems I got about 12-14 different bucks. Mostly WT. The larger muleys showed up late with no antlers. Just white roman nosed bucks with scabs on their heads. Probably passing down from up high.  :dunno:
It was a lot of fun and I ordered 3 more cameras to set up in June when we return.  :tup:

Quite the variety! Pretty cool. As far as the big predators go, we seem to get far more bears than anything else up there. About once a year a cat comes through, but the bears are heavy. Enjoy the new place! How was getting in? We made our first trip about 5 weeks ago and it was a bit of a rodeo. Will be back up next week, I’m assuming everything is cleared out by now.

One of my neighbors has 40 acres, he got 6 different bears on camera last year. They ended up tearing up his cabin water tank in August.
The drive in was great last weekend. The camera showed most of the snow was gone in mid April. That camera is at 4,040 feet elevation.
We will be back in late June for more work and more cameras...

Maybe you could clean the property up a little bit. :chuckle:
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.
