ScottAdams Report post Posted July 6, 2009 Had some good photos before the Monsoons hit and the tank filled up. Nearly took out my camera. Luckily it was about 8 inches higher than the spillway or I would have lost it. Got my first trail camera mountain lion on this setup. Small Coues buck working toward the water. 4 Coues bucks hitting the tank. Nice Pose!! Nice evening shot. A coyote making his rounds. This bull came in one night and has some pretty neat looking tops on his antlers. There is an elk hunt in this area next month. Here comes the rain!!! You can see in this photo the water level is already way up! A mountain lion on a nightly run. This may be the one I saw at another tank about a mile away back in May. Here is a picture of the tank as of July 5. It's full to capacity and the camera is now pointing into the middle of the tank that was the shoreline just a few days earlier. I moved the camera to a different tree to take in the new shoreline but really I don't expect much activity on the tank until the monsoons let up some. There is water everywhere and all the tanks are full! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 6, 2009 That bull might end up pretty cool looking. Another tip for the trail cam tips thread on how to set up cameras? "Place camera above the high water mark" That tank filled well and the monsoons really just started. The mearns will be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZP&Y Report post Posted July 7, 2009 Man the clarity on those SG cams is excellent. Any problems with them leaking? I've heard those replys (covert II) on other websites. http://www.chasingame.com/forum/viewtopic....0cb0a122f68afba Looks like if it made it through that down pour it can handle anything!

ScottAdams Report post Posted July 7, 2009 I haven't had any problems with leaks. But since the monsoons started I've only checked this one camera. I still have 2 out that I haven't checked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RutNHard Report post Posted July 7, 2009 Great Pics Thanks for sharing. I am impressed with the Covert cams. I would love to see some pics of that bull in a month. Happy Hunting!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted July 7, 2009 AZP&Y, These cams have been used throughout the US and internationally and have not developed any leaking problems. Mine have been out in all kinds of weather and have come through fine. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZP&Y Report post Posted July 7, 2009 These cams have been used throughout the US and internationally and have not developed any leaking problems. Mine have been out in all kinds of weather and have come through fine. Cool. THanks for the reply. I wasn't implying there are problems, but rather inquiring to see if Scott's through a heavy down pour had leakage. Chasinggame does great "objective" reviews without bias. That is what testing should be. AzP&Y - Again Nice PIcs Scott and thanks for sharing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottAdams Report post Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks. I sure am becoming addicted to this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonecollector Report post Posted July 7, 2009 I have a cuddeback and I checked it today no pics except of myself leaving and coming back. There are fresh tracks right in front of the camera that weren't there when I placed the camera 2 weeks ago. I am thinking about buying one of those covert cams, pics look great.
