Trail Camera Smoking

[CAMPMEAT]

Charged up my Bushnell Trail Sentry, powered up to check batteries, turned off. Hung it on my tree, turned it back on and it started smoking like it had a short. I didn't have time to check if it took pictures of me doing a Rescue 8 with my cat. Has anyone had the same problem ? I'll check it tomorrow to see if it works or not.

Maybe you were in just a smoking area!! I would check to see if by chance you got them in backwards.

LOL I don't have any cam's out but I have my Calender working. I also found a camera this last week and a abandoned tree stand in 101.  Let a person who's last name is "Pounds" I found his stand!

Would it be Rounds and not Pounds ?

So, is your calender adding up like the one you showed me, or is it better ?

Been scribbling on the calender since mid August. So you tell me!!

But can you read your scribbling is the question ? It's been pathetic over here. The neighbors did get 2, 3 point mulies near my house. Those are about the only ones I've seen or even heard of.

NO!... You put batteries in the camera, and gasoline in the ATV.  Not the other way 'round!

I accidently attached the neg/pos backward last year and burnt up a moultrie. Luckily my new one just requires c batteries so i haven't melted it yet

I hadn't taken the batteries out. I even opened it up and it appeared Ok. I think it's telling me to buy a new one, ya think ?

Camp, sounds like my dad and grandpa bought some wood from you opening weekend (Jeff and Ron, green f 250).  Sounds like you and your neighbor kid got some nice deer last year.
