Title: My 2013 trail cam pictures.
Post by: jackelope on November 18, 2013, 07:39:41 PM: This was my first year running trail cameras. I had 3 of them out at any one time with 5 total. I pulled a couple of them out of where they were for the winter but I'm going to find a place and put them back out somewhere else. I had a lot of fun with this hobby this summer and it's quite addicting. They were in central Washington(public land) and Southeast Washington(private land). I'm not going to post all the pictures I got for various reasons...mostly out of respect for others.
I started in June and took the last ones out on modern deer opening weekend. First we put cameras out for a friend's quality bull archery Observatory hunt in Central Washington. Some of you might remember Fanatic's thread.
We had several 6 point bulls on 1 camera. On another we had a bunch of spikes, cows and calves along with a few deer and a bear or 2.

Post by: jackelope on November 18, 2013, 07:40:54 PM: He never left all summer and into the season. In fact he got his picture taken on September 3rd which was opening day of archery season. We couldn't hunt there as it was inside the fire closure perimeter.
Boo.....

This is him all finished up. Fanatic would call him the heartbreaker I think.

Title: Re: My 2013 trail cam pictures.
Post by: carpsniperg2 on November 18, 2013, 10:47:35 PM: wow that is impressive. I just got some new cams and really love them. My cousins would chew threw 4 c batteries in about 2 weeks but they were also taking about 6k pictures in that time frame, so that might have to do something with it. The cold I think brings them down as well.

These new A5 are supposed to do 8k+ pics with 4c's I am at about 5k on them now and they seem to be doing fine.

I've got 2 different Bushnell camera modelss and I can't remember which one it is. I bought the 2 at Walmart.com for $89. each. I think they're the 5mp Trail Sentry but I can't remember off hand. I'll look when I get home. The first pics are from the 3-5-8mp Bushnell demo models we got online.

Title: Re: My 2013 trail cam pictures.
Post by: Machias on November 22, 2013, 06:12:54 PM: How far away from you? Reason I ask is once you stake your bait out it takes a while, so if you check it once a week or so then that is perfect. It's not something you need to check every day or even every few days. Once they hit it then you could set up a pop up blind or fashion a blind in the ruins of the old house. You would kill a cat for sure. Once the birds find the bait, they make a lot of noise which in turns brings that yotes in and eventually the cats. In that spot you could almost be certain to notch your tag. Use a goat, sheep or llama.
