1st trail cam pics...

[coueschaser3]

So ive finally got my trail cam out to a hole i found, saw alot of lion track and deer track on it so i figured what the heck. Turns out my camera love to take pictures of birds....even got a falcon or small hawk in one. It also didnt take any night pictures, which is unfortunate because 5 new sets of bear tracks showed up and i managed to get the smallest ones picture. Pretty lil cinnamon though. Few whitetail does, just repositioned the camera well see how it turns out by next week i think the water will be gone. For those with experience, how do you deal with the bird pictures? i also really couldnt get the camera any closer, but i think its new location may work better. Using a moultrie 4.0 with a 1 sec trigger and a flash. One last strange thing. i have a picture two consecutive pictures minutes apart and one has a bird the next shows new track and muddy water but nothin was caught going into the water, but the ripples and mud are still there. any ideas?

as for the birds there's not much you can do I have one camera that gets 600 to 900 pic a week mostly dove its a pain going through all the pic's to see whats on them . the water movening and being muddy proubly is from a bird also flying in fast and dipping into the water .

Thanks... i would have considered the bird in the water but the second picture clearly shows a new set of tracks from the previous one a minute old, you can see the mudd/dirt broken up.... i just didnt know bout this pic till i was home and there were a mix of deer and bear in that corner.

I had the same cam as you and could not get it to take night pics either.

DB,

 

I saw on your other post you mentioned the D40 was your least favorite. This is the M40 which just has a few up grades. Funny thing is if i set it up at home at night my dog sets it off out to quite a distance. First time i set it i only got night pics but the flash only worked on a few. This time no night pics and i think the bucks and most likely the other bears are coming in at night. Also had a few early am and late pm where the flash went off and whited out the pic. Did you talk to moultrie at all or exchange it or anything? I may upgrade it to the i40 or the i60. Also im workin on my work lettin me take our demo's out and try each and everyone, as they want photos to show what each camera is like.
