I mostly get does and fawns, all the elk must keep the bucks away.

I have three cameras that I've had set for the past month or so. Between them all, I got maybe 1,400 pix. Unfortunately about 1,375 are of brush or the empty sky. I've spend a couple of hours going thru and deleting.

One is a Leaf River that was rather expensive (retail of $250 range). Uses four "D's" and three "C's". All I have from it is a bunch of black pictures. Ate up the batteries.

What cameras take these good pix of critters and not scenery?? Guess there's a learning curve to them. I know the Leaf River has a sensitivity setting, which must be set too sensitive. Gotta work on the IR thing too.

Guess I'm wondering how many empty shots you get compared to actual deer. Does it take a hundred bad ones to get an actual deer??

Thoughts and tips appreciated

The cameras that took these pictures are all Moultries. They were in the $100 to $160 range. I had a Wildgame once but took it back and got my money back.

Most of the time I get at least 75% of my pictures with deer or other critters in them. A couple of times I have gotten a lot of empty pictures as far as critters go when storms came through and were blowing the tree limbs around a lot. That doesn't happen much when the leaves are gone because the tree limbs don't move much then. If grass and weeds grow up in front of my cameras, I cut them down with my weed eater.

Just talked to my S-I-L. He had the Leaf River set up most of the summer, and most of his pix were good. Evidently something got changed on the settings.

I think my other two are Wildgame, maybe like the ones you took back. I'll check. Thanks

Amazing stealth cam photos. We live in a big great country. My son and I really enjoyed the views. More psyched for hunting and being in the woods. Thanks for posting.

I don't have a camera in the woods.
These are just some of the critters in my back yard. We mostly see them during deer season. Not so much the rest of the year. All the fools tramping around in the woods send them out hunting new hiding places for the duration of the season. The acorns are falling so we might get some in soon but they are mostly nocturnal.

 

[HarcyPervin]

anybody else having any luck with their game cams this year?

 

[matrem]

Luck?
Well.. One of my stand locations has been invaded with turkeys and I don't hunt em.



I learned that mounting a camera on a 2x2 post driven in the ground isn't secure enough if a yearling is overly curious. Might just knock your batteries loose long enough to mess up the date & time.

But, yea.. I feel extremely lucky.
