Trail cams

I have a not so new moultrie. It does IR both still and video. Works good for the last few years.

I have a Moultrie. I've caught all type of interesting interlopers including a mother bear and cub sniffing around the camper. But, snow storms really play havoc with it. I'll have tons of pictures of falling snow.

Jerry, I've got the same problem with my game cams, they have never taken a picture of passing elephants. I have pictures of coyotes, bobcats, meth heads, neighbors cats, and wandering Chupacabra's. I have tried all the different settings, have you found a fix for this?

Great, but mostly it wouldn't take a picture of a passing elephant. I feed them in front of the camera and I get nothing....

Any ideas ?? ..

Maybe it’s just because there aren’t many wild elephants in your area.

I use Moultrie $100 jobs, i40 etc of the like. They work great for me. I have 5 of them.

How far away from your house do you want to set the camera?

I have the cheapest one Walmart sales and it takes great pics both night & day. I think it was $29 or so.

I use a - Browning Strike Force Pro XD BTC-5PXD - it misses NOTHING, never had a false trigger and it does a great job in the dark. I've even located my field mouse problem using this cam. I've had a couple of times I thought I might have a false triggered event, but on close inspection I've found the little critters moving in the underbrush.

That said, I haven't used it for anything but video, set for the highest definition. I can always do a screen grab from a paused video if I need a static pic.

I've used other trailcams that were less than stellar, but this one works, and has become my go-to cam.
