PastorJim08: Don't feel bad. I was working in the area of a couple of my trail cameras, so I left them turned off until I was ready to leave the area. Well I left the area, forgetting to turn the trail cameras on. About 10 days later when I returned to check them, I found out my mistake. To top things off, a bear had broke the strap brackets on one camera. It had fallen to the ground face up by the tree. If the camera had been turned on, I probably would have had a video of it. I have since put all my cameras in bear safes when using them in bear country. This camera set up requested a 45 mile drive each way.
