DaveC- I think my friends cams are the 4 MPixel Moultrees. He had the cams out for about a week and a half and said the batterys were still at 80%. I wouldnt worry about how much memory they take if you get a 1M card, thats alot of pics.

DaveC

How many is a lot?


My highest count to date is 1174 pics on my bushnell and that was with a 286 card (the cam is only a .33 mp thanks to the crafty advertising on the package "1mp cam (through interpolation[:'(]")= your only getting .33 mp unless you buy some software that might as well not exist).

The highest on my 1 mp camera has been in the upper 600's (694 I think it was)and thecard wasn't full yet. Maybe you are on onto something. I haven't filled a 286 card with either of my cameras and I leave them out for 1-2 weeks at a time.

I still wonder how many pics the 4 mp will fit on a 1 mp card.
If storage space became an issue I'm pretty sure my moultree has a photo quality option (high= highest resolution, low= lower resolution)
I take many a pic of squirrels, coons, crows, does and pigs.

The battery life you stated does make it sound better.

If I was getting pics of bucks I'd be all over a new camera. But when the only pics I can get are of does and pigs it pulls a little fun out of it.

well i went out this morning... and it just had to be the windiest day in the world. lol. all we saw was a small year and a half year old buck. i know the big bucks are still in the area. if the wind will die down they will come out of the corn im hoping, and walk the creek bed im hunting. Im gettin up in the mornin and if its real windy im gonna try my luck at some dove hunting. what ever happens ill report back.

DaveC

Higgy, so deer season is open where you hunt?
At least you saw a buck. I can't wait for that first deer of the year to come into bow range.
I'm going later today to hang a lock on and put up a tripod. I just hope I'm not intruding too much this close to season.
I'll be working Sept 15-29th straight so there will be at least a 2 week coling off period before I can hunt the area.

I'll be pulling another card today too. I've got my fingers crossed for a buck pic.

I just hung a stand in someones back yard, lol. I hear there are some nice bucks around there. If I don't end up competing with this other guy that has permission, I think that spot might pay off for me this year. I'll be using my climber and possibly a ground blind in that area this year too, but I've got a good feeling aboutthat hang on. Hopefully, I'll tag a doe in CT before the season even opens up here in RI, got about 2 weeks for the CT season to open.

I just put my trail cam at my folks house, they have over 20 acres of fields and hay, surrounded by thousasnds of acres of woods, hopefully I will be able to spot a nice buck their, it is in the most prime hunting county in maine, and I set up next to a wild apple tree, so in a couple of days I will hopefully have some good pictures.

RIStrutStopper

Sounds like a great spot dmen. Where in Maine are you? I've never been up that way even though its probably only a few hours drive for me.

I live in new Gloucester, which is about 30 miles north of Portland, but I hunt mostly in north central Maine at my folks house or a couple of friends camps. I saw your post on the hang stands from a certain sporting goods store, I looked at those with the climbing sticks for 29.95, are they worth the investment, I was concerned about the size of the platform?
