Title: trail cam logbooks
Post by: Button Nubbs on June 13, 2011, 08:22:47 AM
Just curious how many people log their trailcam pics from different sites. It took me quite a while to sift through the 650pics I got in my first card swap and log them :chuckle: . I just put 2 columns in a note book so I could compare pics/dates/times from both camera sites. Anyne have a spreadsheet they have set up?

I kept a log for my trail camera set up in my favorite spot I ever found in Idaho while I was over there. . . It was just inside the timber below a perfect reprod clearcut on about a 3-4 acre bench in some vertical country.  The road for the clearcut was in the top, and there were no roads from there to the creek a LONG way below, and about a mile down the creek.  Just a perfect spot.

Anyways, the thing was torn up with sign and I kept a camera there full time for two summers into the early fall.  Attached is a part of the log.  I kept track of the temperature highs and lows, humidity, any rain, the wind, and barometric pressure.  I wanted to compare the activity on that bench to as many variables as I could to develop any patterns there might have been.

Keep as much information as you can.  A lot of weather sites archive the weather data they put on their website and you can catch up that way. Every little bit helps to solve the puzzle!
