we got our trail cam this week and we just got home from setting it up.
here is a few pics from the day.
ran into some snow on both sides of the location we were trying to get to, but found a great spot anyways.
we got a ton of bait set out and placed the cam in a great spot.
going back next saturday and we cant wait just hope we can find it... :chuckle:
Its definately not an easy one to find. :IBCOOL: :hello:
ps.
i know it looks high in the tree, but we tested it many times and had the laser dialed in.

we got the block in cle elum, as well as the buck feed there too.
i sprayed a whole bottle of primos scent killer everywhere around and on the camera so we are covered. we really tried to cover all of our basics when setting up this cam. we tied the block down with a 2 foot concrete spike and the camera is pretty high on the tree. i guess this is our first camera setting so we will learn from it what ever happens.
we are headed back on saturday to get it.
cant wait!!!

Carefull, once you get started with one camera you'll be getting the bug to get more...It's a sport all in itself...
Good luck,

we cut as many limbs and branches out of the way of the sensor.
we took that into account also when setting up it was fairly calm on saturday but we really stuck to the details.
thanks for the heads up

Uhhhh yea the elk love my cam, I should have put scent killer on it. I went and got mine from the woods today, found it on the ground with the little clip chewed off :bash:. I did get a pic of a little bull though, probably going to be a spike :IBCOOL:.Dude you don't know your Spikes from Big Foot!! I told you Big foot stole your camera :o

I'd listen to bow4elk. Scent killers are designed to work on bacteria for the most part. I'd wage that a bear could still smell anything underneath that.

so we are not to worried about it, but i guess we are still very new at this and we will learn from our mistakes.
thanks for the tips.
