Title: A few pictures from a Moultrie L-50 (white flash)
Post by: bobcat on March 09, 2014, 04:18:04 PM: I've had a couple trail cams at this spot for 2 months now, with various things tied to trees for bait, inlcuding an elk hide and head. Two weeks ago I added a skinned out porcupine carcass, thinking that would for sure draw in a coyote or even better a bobcat for some pictures. Nope, still nothing. Just checked it today and it's just been two possums there for the last two weeks. I thought I'd post up the one and only picture I did get of a coyote. This was a month ago and it seems to be camera shy. I'll also throw in a few of a coon that came by but didn't stick around for long.

If anyone is interested in a white flash camera for the color night pictures, I like this L-50. I only paid $40. The trigger is a little slow so it needs to be used with bait, or some other attractant to slow the animals down. But I really like getting the color, non-blurry pictures at night, which you don't get with an infrared flash.

That's a good suggestion. I bet that would help a lot. I do have the cameras really close as I was wanting close up pictures. Mostly was wanting bobcat pictures, but usually get coyotes in more than bobcats. Also was thinking I had a chance for a cougar.

The L-50 is really sensitive, and here are a couple of pictures that prove that. It's set for a 2 shot burst, and in the first one you'll see a mouse. I'll post the second picture as well. The second picture the mouse is gone but it helps so you can see the mouse in the first picture. (hint: it's in the middle on the right side)

I think I will try moving the cameras back next time I'm out there, and see if I have any better luck.

Yes, it is a coyote nose. And that's why I posted it, that's the only picture of a coyote I got at this spot in the 2 months that I've had cameras there, and bait. I knew coyotes were around, as I've seen sign almost every time I go in there. Like I said, the coyotes are apparently camera shy.
