rick12345 181 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Not really trail cam pic, but taken with phone. Found these on a footpath beside a golf course. Looks like Charlie has been stealing ‘eggs’ from the golfers and burying them here lol There was only 1 the other day, semi buried, so I didn’t think much of it . Now today there’s 2, semi buried, and one is well chewed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,217 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Just been and cleared all my cameras out from a patch of land I,ve been on for a few years after catching several engineer looking type men in there with clip boards etc have had some good stuff under here over a 2 year period and I,m sure I will move back one day but I,m moving to another area I,ve been studying for the last 12 months, just to give some ideal of the effort of becoming a camera trapper here are a few of my cameras and the amount of sd cards I get through, each card has anywere from 50 to a 1000 images on also some of the devices I,ve bought to try and upload the pictures none of them worked as they should have, easy to see why most people end up leaving the camera tied to a tree with flat battery,s or thrown in a drawer after the first couple of goes, and I have,nt even mentioned the mountain of AA battery,s I would have used over the two years but here you go anyway 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest they all start to get a bit temperamental after a couple of years being left outside, the footage and trigger times certainly seems better on the more expensive models but finding people to service them and repair them is a big issue as most of the better models come from the states, so there is a good argument for using the cheaper ones and just binning them when they play up, if money was no problem I,d probably stick to Brownings or stealth cams, a lad on YouTube called Tim Harrell uses Brownings as he,s in the states and he seems to get excellent after sales service including free cams when his ended up under water during hurricane Catarina and Stealthcam give 50 percent off a new cam if you have an old broken one to trade in which is good but post and import duty,s make it a pain or me , I,m looking at getting a plot watcher pro next bit different from a normal trail cam but adds a new dimension as its a time lapse wide angle camera that just keeps taking pics every few seconds and lasts a couple of month,s on a set of battery,s they don't work in darkness but can be set to come on at dawn and dusk for a couple of hours check them out on YouTube if your interested I think they will be better in summer when foliage becomes a pain triggering trail cams and they will cover a hole field if set in a good vantage point cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
