My Best Trail Camera Spot

Recommended Posts

Howdy. Here's my latest video. I try to explain why I set things up the way I did. This was a great spot for lions and bears. Couple coues and other neat critters as well. I love doing this as much as I do hunting because it gets me outdoors away from the messiness of the "real world". Thanks for watching.

Thanks for posting and good vid.  I like the flat rock idea.

Did you notice the temp on the camera for the vulture?  Or at least it looks like a vulture to me.

Which GMU is this?

The temps on this camera always read high for some reason. It is indeed a turkey vulture. 

Sorry, but I don't give GMUs. I live in Tucson and drive all over the Southern units here. Thanks for watching.

Good video, good quality! Great spot. How long does each video run once triggered? What size card do you use? I just set mine for 3 shot pic mode so I don't run out of memory and check cams every few months. I'd like to do video mode.

I like to set 20 second videos with a 1 second delay between captures in case the animal is still there doing something cool. I use a 128GB card.

Thanks for sharing. Love video mode on trail cams and wish I did more of it. I just don't check them often enough to keep cards from filling up.

Fun fact:  vultures piss on themselves to help cool themselves off, its called urohydrosis.

 

Cool video. I like how the skunk seemed to charge the cam.

Thanks for posting this!  It is a great hobby.  The vid. and sound quality are really good.  Just so I understand, to allow high res. capture of the subject at night, the camera is using passive IR, is that correct?  Is that easier on your battery than standard visible light?  As I understand, there is a dim red glow when using IR, some animals are more attracted to it than others, but it apparently doesn't really bother them.  These cams apparently have a photo cell which disables the nighttime IR mode, when enough visible light becomes available, is that correct?

Good stuff right there.

It’s a low glow IR which I believe is the red light you’re referring to. I have a video on my YouTube channel of a mountain lion stalking my camera. I think it saw the light. I’m guessing the IR takes less battery than a bright white light. And yes the camera automatically knows when to use IR. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Awesome video.  Thanks for sharing.  What software do you use to edit the video clips?

It’s called HD movie maker pro. Cost $10 I think.
