Cool story

Trail cams have absolutely changed hunting. I would add laser rangefinders to the list. I bought the first one I heard of in 1996, a Bushnell Yardage Pro 400 and the 800 a year or two later. I put a Stoney Point Turrets on my Leupold VX IIs and made my first long range kill in 1999. A bull elk at 607 yards.

I remember the time box ,pull the string,clock would stop.
Just for baiting bears.
My first trail cam took C- battery. All the first ones took C or D batteries. White flash,I believe the flash may of went out on this one . I'll post pics of my first trail cam.
Still does daytime pics ,she will drain some batteries.
My wife bought it, around 2010 ,but I can't remember.
It's amazing where we are at now,mini size, Wi-Fi, cellular,and price point.
I'm so slow,took me 15 years to perfect a camera trap.
In my defense,I didn't really start using it till better models came out. That camera probably has less than a thousand pics taken on it,flash is already busted. Funny part 1k pics is a drop in the bucket these days.

I remember my first trail camera. It was huge, weighed a ton, took terrible pictures and ate batteries like Oprah in a bakery but I loved it

All this new stuff is not what I consider fair chase hunting.  Sorry folks I'm 79 yrs old and took 35 bull elk the old fashioned way.  I lived for elk season.
