25-06 Report post Posted March 26, 2005 How long does it take on average to go though a roll of film? My trail cam has been out there for a week now. Just wonderin how often I should check it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted March 26, 2005 25-06 It depends on several factors. 1. density of deer in the area 2. time of year and temperatures 3. Is the camera over salt, bait, trail, or water. 4. Is the camera programed to take pictures every minute, 5 minutes, 20 ? On trails, and salt this time of year I would typically wait 3 weeks. On bait, depending on the type and concentration of deer in the area, usuall 1 week. On water in the heat of the summer, maybe every 2 weeks. On water now, 3 weeks. W/ the non digital cameras the batteries usually last max 3 weeks anyway. If it is on bait or salt, never program it for less than 5 minuets, you will get 25 pictures of the same cow elk or deer within a short period. Been there, done that.

25-06 Report post Posted March 26, 2005 Thanks Treestandman, I just have it on a trail, and I forgot how to change the setting on how many pics it takes and how often it takes them....its a stelth cam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted March 26, 2005 25-06 I've got 3 stealth cams (the $55.00 ones) and I love them. You will read posts from other web sites that people have problems w/ them but I have never had a problem in about 2 yrs. For trails I would definitely recommend setting it for 1 or 2 pictures every minute and leaving it for 2 or 3 weeks. I like setting my cameras on trails best during the rut period from the beginning of dec to Feb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted March 29, 2005 I checked my camera on saturday and was pretty amazed to develop a picture w/ 2 does and a bear in the same picture. The deer don't appear to be spooked which I find very odd. The bear is probably about 30 yds or so from the deer, sitting down and facing away from the deer. Pretty interesting stuff!!
