How do you name your trailcamera pics?

[Mr Mykiss]

I'm trying in vain to organize my trailcamera pictures... I can't name them by date because some dates have several pictures. The problem is that I used several different SD cards over the same season so the names given to the pictures collide, don't go chronologically, etc. It's a zoo. I'd just like to be able to view them in chronological order on my computer. Help!!

Ok... 1,2,3,4 it is!!

make a big fold to hold that locations pics, in that folder there are subfolders label from-to dates, I also copy the target bucks into a bucks folder to monitor progress and for quick access to make friends jealous

I've got five cameras out now, and had six all summer. Most of them have been out since March. I give each set up a name. The cameras that are in the same general area, I use the same name then a #1, #2, #3, etc.
 
I then have an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of each camera and the dates I checked it and the dates that I changed batteries.
 
Every time I check a camera I replace the memory card with a clean memory card. Then when I get home I copy all the pictures into a folder with the name of that set up followed by the date (mm-dd-year).
 
For names just use road names, creeks, landowner names, just whatever key word will remind you of the location of that camera.

You settle down Bobcat. That's like som FBI/CIA stuff right there. I usually just wander around until I can find my camera (usually takes half an hour), realize the batteries died, take out the SD cards, realize I had the date and time wrong, etc. I'm not exactly Mr Organization... just Mr Steelhead

Haha. This is funny. I lost track of one of my cams for almost 2 months this.summer. forgot all about it. Had to check 3 spots to find it.

I do exactly what bobcat does.

[whacker1]

folders to name the location and then date including a number or a letter.

I use the location and the date I remove the card from the camera, then let the pics self number in order.
