Title: 3nails cam pics
Post by: 3nails on July 13, 2012, 11:24:55 PM: Had 2 Truth 35 cams up about 4 miles in. One did great until the elk nudged it into a 180 view of the brush. The other had tracks all over in front and didn't take a single pic. One more chance with that cam before I shoot it. Had several pics of the buck but all night shots. Fairly decent blacktail.

Is the 1 camera broken? or just no game...

Arriving at the camera and seeing tracks all around it I was hopefull for a pic of the buck. Opened it up and it was dead. Had fresh batteries when I placed it. I will check it out more tomorrow.

I'll put new batteries in it, set it up at home and see if I can get it to work. I've calmed down enough now maybe I'll send it in instead of shooting it if it doesn't work. Also I didn't see the time off until I got home. I'll fix that next time.

I think what gets the attention is the noise these cameras make. I can hear mine when I walk by it. If a human can hear it - then the critters certainly hear it and from a longer distance too.
