Title: dead cam check
Post by: flyfishWA on July 10, 2019, 03:23:17 PM: I just checked two trail cameras. when I got to the second one it said "low battery" and their were elk and deer tracks all over the place. checked the pics and it had died after taking a few pics of this cow elk. at least I still got a decent blacktail on the other camera.

not sure about the other stuff, but the battery life SUCKS dead batterys 3 months after replacing them.

I leave mine out for 6 months through winter and they have to last cause i'm not going around to each one to change batteries.
Thanks for the reply.

the same ones I use in wildgame inovations, primos, and stealth cams and in them they last over a year.
