Default RE: New member - my best homebrew pics

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Picures 6, 7, 8, and 13 are all the same buck. Got 25 pictures of him the year before last, all in the daytime. Never set eyes on him yet. Did find one of his sheds last spring but henever made it in front of the camera last fall. We had beans instead of the corn so i'm thinking he may have moved to a corn field nearby. I haven't heard of him being shot so i can only hope he will be around with corn in the fields this year. I'm guessing he should have been close to 200" last fall. He has a rather small body though, so he may still be young. Picture 4 was the same buck the year before. Picture 9, 10, 11, and 12 are all from last fall. None of them were taken as far as i know. It was a pretty slow rut. I didn't see any of the bucks pictured, actually nothing over 135". It got so slow i had to go hunt somewhere else. I bet i had at least 10 days this rut that i never saw a thing. Can't wait to seewhat 2009 will bring.

The homebrews i use run Sony P41's. I also have 2 Sony S40's and one S600. I love using these cameras because after you harvest a deer, ou just have to walk to your nearest trailcamera, take the camera out, and use it for the harvest pictures. There are a few companies out there that make the PIR boards that will trigger the camera. The camera also has to be "hacked". Thats opening them up to solder wires or attach a ribbon cable to hook up to the PIR board so the cameras can be powered up, shuttered, and powered down. Buy a case to put it all in, drill holes for the glass and your all set. They are exactly the same as the trailcameras you see for sale by Snapshot Sniper. http://www.snapshotsniper.com/Features.htm.These places do sell all the other parts you need to build them. Some even sell kits. You supply the camera. I can also get you some links to other homebrew forums if you are interested.

I've got more pictures i can post. Great pictures, just a little smaller deer.
