Title: Trail Camera in Trapping
Post by: Trapper John on December 28, 2013, 01:01:22 PM: Old Customer of mine called me and said that she saw a big bobcat on her property over by her pond. She said if I wanted it I can trap it so I thought I would set up a couple of my trail cameras. Caught this coyote eating a duck that he must of taken off of her pond. What are you catching on your trail cameras?

How cool would that be for trapping? Assuming you lived in a cellular service area which I don't :chuckle:

Some of those trail cameras you can send a text to the camera to make it take a picture, or take video then send it back to your phone.
Pretty cool stuff.

For trapping couldn't you could text the trail camera to take a picture of your empty trap to satisfy a 24 hour check requirement??
I don't see why not, the text would have a time stamp on it along with the picture.
