Title: Trail Camera Smoking
Post by: CAMPMEAT on October 19, 2011, 06:52:25 PM
Charged up my Bushnell Trail Sentry, powered up to check batteries, turned off. Hung it on my tree, turned it back on and it started smoking like it had a short. I didn't have time to check if it took pictures of me doing a Rescue 8 with my cat. Has anyone had the same problem ? I'll check it tomorrow to see if it works or not.

Maybe you were in just a smoking area!! I would check to see if by chance you got them in backwards.

LOL I don't have any cam's out but I have my Calender working. I also found a camera this last week and a abandoned tree stand in 101.  Let a person who's last name is "Pounds" I found his stand!

Would it be Rounds and not Pounds ?

So, is your calender adding up like the one you showed me, or is it better ?

But can you read your scribbling is the question ? It's been pathetic over here. The neighbors did get 2, 3 point mulies near my house. Those are about the only ones I've seen or even heard of.

Camp, sounds like my dad and grandpa bought some wood from you opening weekend (Jeff and Ron, green f 250).  Sounds like you and your neighbor kid got some nice deer last year.

Not me, sorry. The last deer I shot was 4 years ago. ( I don't like deer meat ) Possibly an imposter ruining my good name on this website ?  :chuckle: :chuckle: It's good to know my name is famous, not ! I know a gun dealer that was in Las Vegas this year at the Shot Show or one of the big shows and my name was brought up...... Cool !

I do think the term is the First liar doesn't stand a chance!  :twocents:
Or perhaps it's "Your story paint it as big as ya want!"

At least your imposter makes you out to be a good hunter.  I'll have to ask my dad if he had the name right.
