Single_shot Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 This is what I usually see. ;D Not really. This is the only pic I have with anything in it. The date(this was in the fall 2010) is wrong as I did'nt set it and was in a hurry to just get it on a tree and turned on. I will have more and better shots this year...now that I read the directions,LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing,IR4...I'm happy with the pictures it takes.....kinda slow on the trigger,but they are cheap. Some day when I have extra $ I will be getting better cams.

HectorBuckBuster Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I have not found a trail cam that has a instant trigger speed. They all have a 2-5 second delay at least. I have learned to put my trail cams in spots that the animal will trigger it and still be in the area to get a picture. It does take some time. I once put a camera out went back a week later had 1600 pictures. I was like sweet. Well turns out I have every view of the nice golden rod, every time the wind blew a little the golden rod triggered the camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 i have been given cameras that friends say don't work because of slow trigger speed, the set up is more important, on a trail do not put it on a 90% angle to it the deer will walk by and trigger late or not at all, use a 30 or 40% looking down or up the trail. cameras with slow triggers are great on scrapes, if placing on a food plot place in plot looking at trails entering(the deer will hold at edge of plot before entering) a large plot will let the deer get out of range to fast for a lot of inexpensive ir's so facing the trails entering helps a lot.. just a few things i learned over the years.

Single_shot Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 On the WGI IR4 I have,the lowest setting between pics is 30 sec. I know there are cameras out there that are much quicker between shots. As far as trigger speeds,I found this testing to be interesting. http://www.trailcampro.com/2010triggerspeedshowdown.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny same thing happened to me, had 1000 pictures mostly of swaying weeds. Now I make sure the entire front of camera is cleared of tall grass.
