phade 5130 Posted June 12, 2016 Jan-Mar is pretty lean, I'll only have 5-6 cams out then. April I will set cams for turkey, but once June hits...it is on. 20+ cams are out at the moment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phade 5130 Posted June 12, 2016 That's a lot of cams Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Right around 5-6 cams per property that we hunt. But, I've never had such little time available for scouting in my life, so the cams will have to pick up some of the slack this year. July-Sept should be better for me, but post-season and pre-green up scouting was practically impossible with work. The more painful part is that is alot of money, lol. The wife and I have been discussing a getaway vacation since we've been so busy. I didn't want to draw attention to the five Spartans sitting beside me on the couch that would have paid for a Caribbean cruise for two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fasteddie 10461 Posted June 13, 2016 There is no such thing as having too many Trail Cameras ! When we go on a trip , I have a few cams set up in the house . 1 Quote 97.3% of statistics are made up To Err is Human - To Forgive Divine Neither of which is Marine Corps Policy !

Doewhacker 2985 Posted June 16, 2016 So my 1 cam is not impressive ?! I have twice as many as you! lol I forget that I own them, is that bad? I did have one out by the Duck house for one night, got a vid of the rotten coon that showed up. I should put my cams out today before I forget.

growalot 7694 Posted June 16, 2016 So my 1 cam is not impressive ?! Any cam is only as impressive as what it manages to capture in front of it. 1 or 100...the number just means you have an increased chance of one of them being the best cam going... 2 Quote The Kindle just doesn't work right and I have decided not to feed the bullies and distracters...it's call the ignore feature.

Water Rat 11229 Posted June 17, 2016 If I can find the time , I would have them out year round. They don't do me any good sitting in the basement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtTime 5651 Posted June 17, 2016 I have two. My left eye and my right eye. Three if both eyes are open. I go back and forth, but moving made my decision for me. I will most likely be primarily hunting public land for a few years. Not leaving anything on public land. Except, used TP. It's biodegradable.

Nomad 12594 Posted June 18, 2016 I put 3 out sometime in the summer . I pretty much have stands all set late winter early spring , over the last 30 years I pretty much leave them where I know they'll work. What walks by walks by . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adkhunter1590 2373 Posted June 23, 2016 I run cameras all year long. I don't run all of them through winter though. Usually just leave 1-2 out over winter to keep an eye on what's moving around. Right now I have 5 working cameras and 2 old dead moultries that I use as trespasser bait/deterrence. Planning to add 2 more new cameras by October. I love seeing all sorts of wildlife on my cameras. They are good for more than just deer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the blur 171 Posted June 30, 2016 My friend said his 3 Moultries died too. What brand do you find most reliable ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phade 5130 Posted June 30, 2016 My friend said his 3 Moultries died too. What brand do you find most reliable ? I don't think there is a clear cut answer to that. Every cam, including Reconyx has its issues of some sort. Moultrie (while I am not a huge fan of) is no worse or better than the others in the same price point. Rule of thumb for non cell/data cams should be for every $50 spent, you should get one year of service. For a $100 cam, if you are on year three, you are "money in the bank." People's expectations of cameras are simply too high I find. These cams sit in harsh conditions and we expect them to stay outside 365 or go in and out of homes which potentially has worse effects.
