First Time Trail Camera Set (Pictures Added)

[TheChad23]

Have set out my trail camera out twice before and have got nothing but finally went out last weekend and set my Tasco camera out and my brother's Primos TruthCam46 out in a spot were we want to hunt next year. Only things we got were two doe, a rabbit, a racoon, and birds.  My brother picked them up and emailed me the good pictures and only birds were caught on my tasco so all the pictures will be from his Primos Cam.

Ya. Thats what the label of my photos says. I zoomed in a little bit and it appears to be one.

Decent pictures. Problem is that this time of year it can be hard to tell the does from the bucks! I'd still be interested in seeing some of those Tasco pictures if your brother emailed you any.

Oh, and do you have any idea how accurate that temperature is on the Primos pictures? I have a Primos 46 too, the temperature stamped on the pictures is 15 degrees too low.

Ya. I think it would help if we can get the animals to stop some how to get the pictures less blurry because I noticed with some testing that the pictures become really blurry and delayed and I think some changing the options will help too. 

I wondered about the telling the difference too. I'm not an expert but shouldn't you be able to see where they had their antlers if they shaved them? like soars or small holes like things.

I will post up some tasco pictures too. He said the were all robins and other types of birds but I don't know when he will be emailing them to me.

For the temperature, I would say it is alittle bit off and by my guesses it reads 5 or 7 degrees lower then what the weather channel gives but that weather is typically taken near a town which I would assume it's warmer near towns but the cameras were within trees which I would think would raise the temperature.

do you have any bait out? might be able to tell what the animals are if they arent moving

That deer did look like a doe to me, I was just saying that it can be hard to tell this time of year. You should see small "bumps" where the antlers were.

Here are a couple of pictures of what I think are bucks:

Me and my brother have been working on bait. Not sure if it helped at all but I had a wick of doe urine haning from a tree that he said weren't there when he retreived them.  My brother is going to pick up a salt block and I got some old apples and pears that I think might work, whats your thoughts on those baits?

I saw those picture in your post.  My brother mentioned that he might even think the doe that is in the first picture but was the second doe to arrive might be pregnant. Any opinions?

apples will work great but your best bet is gonna be the salt block i would say.

[TheChad23]

Well he has two cameras and I have one and I'm thinking for next weekend salt block in front of one, apples in front of another, and some scraps from our local meat shop to catch from predators.

For me apples work best, but I just run out about a week ago. Been putting out apples since September. A couple weeks ago, I got 700 pictures of deer in 4 days, because I had apples out and they were eating them. Ran out of apples, but happened to have a salt block in my shop so I took it out there. Checked the camera last Friday, after about 6 days, and didn't have one picture.

I'm curious to see how that block will work, if at all. I didn't have anything else, so Friday when I checked it, I took a can of corn, and dumped that out on top of the salt block. Maybe that will interest them and then they'll find the salt block. Could be they don't even know what it is yet.

I heard apples work really well but its really expensive from a store but the store I work for I had them keep old ones and they gave them to me since they were going to through them away and then my girlfriends mother had some one she didn't want anymore and then my brother said his friends family has a bunch we can have so I think we'll have quite a bit of apples.

Here are some more pictures.  My brother brought me the trail cameras and the I uploaded the SD cards to my computer.  The first picture is of me on my Tasco cam.  I went to go grab some scents from my backpack and the cam took this picture of me.  That is the only picture on my trail camera, no birds or any false photos, just me setting it up and my brother retrieving it.  I've tested my camera out several times to make sure it takes good night photos and I haven't had any problem with it missing my test subjects.  The second pictures is of a third doe which my brother thinks is the second does yearling. You can see the spot of its eye behind it when it is leaving the shot in my first post.  The third photo is of two robins that the camera caught in the middle of the day.
