62 day soak...kinda!!!
« on: August 13, 2011, 02:27:08 PM »
Hung it up on June 9th....batteries went dead on July 10th after taking 1,520 pics.  I went to check it yesterday.  62 days total hanging but it only worked for 31 of them!  Absolutely amazed at everything i saw on there!  Only 400-500 yards from where i hung it last year!  Was pretty happy with the results!  Cant wait for Oct to get here!

Awesome pictures man. I can't wait to pull my cam and see what I've got. :IBCOOL:
But love of the wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need - if only we had eyes to see.

Thanks....probably my best soak to date!  1520 pics and almost everyone of them was a good clear picture!  Mabey 50-60 of the cows but the rest were all great pics!  Spend the time and set your camera up right!  take into consideration where the sun comes up and and goes down,  heighth of the camera on the tree and location of the salt block from the camera!  Its worth it in the long run for good pictures!  Cant wait to go check it again!

Nice pics!

take into consideration where the sun comes up and and goes down
:yeah: We just checked one last night and in 6 days it had 1100 pictures. 200 of them had elk or deer in them, the other 900 were pictures of the sun  :bash:

location location location!

 I had 1520 pics and 1515 were some kind of animal, critter, bear, monster,  something!


Bring a good pair of clippers and cut down all the limps and twigs, ect around your camera!  Remember the wind blows sometimes!  lol
