Post by: Bones on August 22, 2008, 11:19:56 AM: Here are some pictures that show how I got these bear pictures. I found a major game trail the comes down to the creek. This creek is the only water in the area, and the creek bottom is full of black berry vines. I wanted to set the camera right at the waters edge where the game trail meets the creek, but there are no trees in the creek bottom to mount the camera on. So I built this wooden stand to set up right at the edge of the creek. This picture shows that stand and the camera mounted on it. I built a box to protect the camera from the bears.

This picture shows where I set up the camera stand right at the waters edge. I put the stand against a large boulder, and then I placed heavy river rock all around the stand to anchor it.

This set has produced hundreds of pictures of bears and all sorts of wildlife that comes down into the creek for water

Post by: DeKuma on August 22, 2008, 12:22:05 PM: Is this a regular trail camera or a home built? The picture clarity is great!
Title: Re: Bears
Post by: Bones on August 22, 2008, 12:28:22 PM: This is a home built trail camera. The camera is a used Sony W90 8.1 megapixel camera that I bought off Ebay for $100. The controller board is Yeticam board (yeticam.com). Total cost for building this cam was $167.
