Title: Put New Camera out
Post by: donimator on February 23, 2010, 05:19:26 PM: I got my first trail camera for Christmas and finally got around to putting it out in Feb. Had the date wrong on the first couple before I realized it was wrong. Got a few does, a cow and a squirel. Have a few eyes at night, but nothing to be able to tell what it was. Hopefully I get some better sets as I get to know it better.

Leaving it the 1st try. Took my 3 yr old daughter with me to set it up.

Set it in another place for 3 weeks after only having a few deer. Got Nothing in 3 weeks.
Moved to another spot and decided to check after 6 days and this is what I got.

Post by: donimator on March 05, 2010, 01:45:07 PM: No Salt block yet. Just putting the camera in spots that have beat down visible trails for now.

It doesn't appear than you got any but I've filled up a memory card more than once with nothign but washed out sunny pics. I aim mine northeast if I can and under shaded areas that avoid direct sunlight. Great shots for your first set!
