The 2013 Deer season is coming up fast, it will be here sooner than you think. What is better than a brand spanking new Trail Camera to get out in the woods to get you in the mood along with some other great items. Rules: Post a reply on this thread below. ONE post per person. The post must include a picture of a deer you have either shot / harvested with a short blurb of the story behind it AND / OR a trail camera picture of a deer you saw, missed, wanted in the last few years with a short blurb of the story behind it. As far as the short story, it can be a simple two sentence thing, or feel free to go into detail. Can’t get any simpler than that. Entries will be accepted up until Friday May 31st, 2013 at 11:59 ET. The contest list will then be posted with all contestants along with a unique number assigned to each contestant. The winner will be picked LIVE via live stream (and recorded) during the first week in June, the numbers will be picked via a random number generator. (Thanks jessie.james for the idea) Every single member (and new member) is eligible (except me) as long as you follow the rules above and get that post in by the deadline! Recap of prizes 1st Place: Bushnell 8 MP Trophy Cam Trail Camera The Bushnell 8 MP Trophy Cam Trail Camera (Brown Case) is water- and snow-resistant, functions quite well even in extreme temperatures (-5 to 140deg. F) and is ideal for shooting game and wild life. It can be quickly mounted on tree trunks, posts and other supports using the adjustable web belt provided. Recording high-quality still images at 8 MP with 1-second trigger speed, the trail camera also features Field Scan, a time lapse feature that clicks images at pre-set intervals ranging from 1 minute to 60 minutes. Field Scan is not triggered by game and covers a long range (which may be out of the PIR range) and a large area as well. The adjustable PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor is motion-activated by movement of game at a distance of up to 45' (13.7 m). The camera simultaneously captures Field Scan images along with Live Trigger images and in multi-image mode it clicks up to 3 images per trigger. If you are looking for video, the Trophy Cam shoots Widescreen, VGA and QVGA clips, with audio capture making the experience vivid. Night vision ability is up to 45' (13.7 m) and the 32 Black LEDs acting as an invisible flash prove their worth when visible flash is a game deterrent. The trophy cam shoots color videos during the day and B&W during the night. The B&W text LCD is meant for only displaying the menu text to help you with the setting and programming. Connect the trophy cam to an external monitor and you can watch several days of video footage in minutes using the variable speed playback feature. Key Features and Specifications: Black and white text LCD display High-quality, 8-megapixel full-color image resolution Invisible nighttime flash with 32 LEDs Motion activated day/night PIR auto-sensor 45-foot flash and sensor range Adjustable PIR (Low/Medium/High) One second trigger speed Programmable trigger interval: one second to 60 minutes Multi-image mode: one to three images per trigger Widescreen, VGA, QVGA video resolution with audio Video length: programmable from one to 60 seconds Field Scan Time Lapse Mode with Simultaneous Live Trigger: takes images at pre-set intervals of one minute to 60 minutes, within the hours of your choice--at the same time as using the motion activated sensor.
