Title: How many trail cameras do you own?
Post by: MerriamMagician on December 29, 2014, 09:15:31 PM: Just curious as to how many cameras most of you guys have on hand. I consider myself to be a bit of a trail camera addict. I had 6 for a long time, but over the last few months have stocked up with holiday deals and now am up to 15. Have had 2 stolen since I started using them about 3 years back also.

Post by: Band on December 29, 2014, 09:37:58 PM: One. I just put it out 2 days ago in a very promising location for my first soak. I'm planning on switching the SD card this weekend to see what's in the woods.

Post by: bobcat on December 29, 2014, 10:06:38 PM: If I'm not forgetting any, I believe I have 8 cameras that work properly, and 3 that work but not 100%. Two of those take pictures but the flash no longer works, and the other takes pictures just fine but the sensor is not sensitive enough, so animals have to be really close to trigger it.

Post by: Firedogg on December 30, 2014, 12:57:32 AM: Two that I just picked up from rosscrazy elk a couple days ago. Set them up within 15 minutes of getting home with them and next morning only showed three pictures. I look awful in the dark. lol

So now they are on a two day soak for testing on the edges of the yard with some chopped apple cores out (which were gone this evening). so hopefully when I get time to pull them tomorrow I will see if they are getting the deer I have pass through, my raccoons, or some other critter that likes the dark. So we shall see tomorrow.

Title: Re: How many trail cameras do you own?
Post by: Birdguy on December 30, 2014, 08:45:28 AM: 7 if memory serves correct. Had a couple Moultrie 40ds for 6 years or so and worked great but starting to go. 2 Tasco (I think) Wildviews that I have never really got set up right, one thing or another and if I did get it one set right I could never duplicate the set up :bash:. 2 Moultrie M80s and a Bushnell trophy that all take AA and work great. I will be getting more of either of these. Batteries that last a year, take thousands of pictures, easy to use, smaller to carry, easier to hide, and so far work everytime I put them out.

Post by: muleyslayer on December 30, 2014, 09:06:02 AM: 3, but I just got Into to it two years ago im looking to have 6 by the spring. Its alot of fun.
Title: Re: How many trail cameras do you own?
Post by: PolarBear on December 30, 2014, 09:12:41 AM: 2 but they are used as security cameras around my place.
Title: Re: How many trail cameras do you own?
Post by: vandeman17 on December 30, 2014, 09:19:01 AM: 6, 4 of which I use consistently and two are in a bin just in case as they are older and take the old C or D batteries
Title: Re: How many trail cameras do you own?
Post by: netcoyote on December 30, 2014, 09:21:46 AM: Two until I had one stolen in October. Plan to get a few more and get serious about using them all year. Had some success in getting a few good pics of bulls during one soak this year.
Title: Re: How many trail cameras do you own?
Post by: lokidog on December 30, 2014, 11:29:40 AM: 2 - One is the old D battery style and never gets used. The other is a C battery one but has a jack for a battery pack or power supply so it has gotten used off an extension cord behind the house. Now that I have a bigger battery pack for it, it will probably get used more.

Post by: jasnt on December 30, 2014, 11:32:51 AM: 5 right now, will be picking up few more this year
Title: Re: How many trail cameras do you own?

Post by: TRD1911 on December 30, 2014, 08:08:58 PM: 1 - Primos Ultra 35 - horrible battery life
Title: Re: How many trail cameras do you own?
Post by: Wolfdog2314 on December 30, 2014, 08:23:35 PM: Had up to about 12.

Few Bushnells. Few Brownings. Few Primos. WGI.

Lost two to bears and two to theives last year.

Will now invest in python cables and bear boxes :-/

Title: Re: How many trail cameras do you own?
Post by: Grizman on December 31, 2014, 08:01:49 AM: 3. All are out year long. This is the second year in a row that I have identified one buck to hunt and actually got that buck. Just kinda my thing. Love what I see all year long.

It's a great feeling taking an animal you've watched for a year or 3.... I've got 6 different animals on camera my dad or brothers or I have harvested :)

Post by: fishnfur on January 04, 2015, 10:04:43 PM: 4 - Wildview - Crap
Bushnell - Decent but broke after a year. Warrantee covered replacement - new one more quirky than older one
Browning Strike Force - great but occasionally takes loads of bad/unreadable pics - factory rep said to always format card before leaving it in the woods.
Stealth cam - $60 special on Amazon lightning deals. Good so far.....
Title: Re: How many trail cameras do you own?
Post by: huntingbaldguy on January 08, 2015, 02:36:30 AM: 3 currently and planning to get more. All 3 are deployed and i have 2 more properties i want to place.

Well you are one of the VERY FEW to have done that
Title: Re: How many trail cameras do you own?
Post by: Grizman on January 08, 2015, 03:42:43 PM: Skyvalhunter,
Here is the buck I watched from early Oct. Finally caught up with him on the 18th of Nov. He was nocturnal until about 12 Nov. I finally bumped into him chasing a doe on the 18th. I passed on 7 different and smaller bucks in 17 days of hunting. I cover about 5 miles each day on my loop. Chasing just one buck adds a lot of challenge to the hunt.

Post by: gaddy on January 08, 2015, 03:53:12 PM: I have two, they are older ones that take 35mm film. haven't used them in a looong time but they worked OK. Figure I'll put them up some day ( when i find them ) for some one to use as dummies ( or bait ). Really don't have time to monitor them or I'd have some new ones.
