Trail Cameras are out

[MRP2003]

Went out this morning to put my cameras out with a hunting buddy. Everything was green and the corn at the bottom of the hill looked pretty good on one side of the road and "not bad" on the other side. Both are small fields.

There is a small water hole on the property and it was holding some water which was good. i put a camera by the water hole. First time that I have done that. The water is probably from the two recent rains that we had.

I put out some corn and feeder blocks with cameras in several spots.

There is a lot of white oaks on the property so hopefully the drought will cause them to drop heavier than normal as I have read in INDGO that they should.

Will post pics in approx 2 weeks after I go back to change the sd cards out.

Have had ours out for a couple weeks now, and have been happy with the results thus far. We typically just use bags of corn. Anyone have anything else they prefer to use as bait?

Lucky Buck!



2 others I have on photobucket already



Last 10 I have on the bucket currently



80lbs of salt for live stock (minerals etc.) from rural king and a pound or 2 of lucky buck will bring them to the spot over and over. Just make sure you don't want to hunt within 100yards as baiting is illegal. I'll try and get a few more pics up a little later.

I set my camera up last night to try and get a photo of a buck I saw last year. Checked it this morning and voila!, he's still right where I left him

Lucky buck is the trick.

Where's the pic?

I just ordered my first trail cam. Hope to put it out this week.

Here's a nice 10 that just showed up late July. Hope to see him this fall.


Oh yeah. I've seen all mine lucky buck.

That's nice. Which Wildgame camera are you using? I ordered the Red 6 Enhanced.

 

[Aggar]

THe red 6 works good but I have a 3 that uses C batteries and I haven't changed them since I put it out in may. The 6 uses AA and if it takes a lot of pics, it'll eat thru them quick. ON my 3 I've gotten at least 4000 pics this summer on one set of batteries. That buck was on the 3 over a spot of lucky buck.

 

[RGriff69]

The Red 6 runs on 4 C batteries. I picked another one up at Dunhams today for $79.99. They sent me a coupon for being enrolled in their rewards program.

I'm still waiting on the one I ordered from Bass Pro. It should be here this week.

I put mine out and I mostly just catch photos of trespassers as much as wildlife. I might post some photos sometime after I figure out who they are.

Good idea. Maybe we should create a post for all the pictures of the trespassers like criminals wanted at the post office

I am going to go out tomorrow and look at my camera, put it out Thursday so hopeing to see something (other than tresspasers) on it! Got a couple good pics of racoons hanging from my game feeder couple years back.....that problem was eliminated.
