Default RE: Stealth Cam Pics 6/14-6/18

Thanks all for the comments. I will see if I can get all the questions. If I miss anyone then you have my apologies ahead of time.

MM,

After reading all the info provided in regard to shutter speed I think I may just stick with the 200 film instead. It could have been other factors that contributed to slightly better pics last year with the 800 speed film.

Jimbo,

I am guessing he is going to be Pope and Young in another year or two. Definitely Peter Cottontail material.

BM,

Sorry to hear about your camera but considering the price I am guessing you aren't too upset. I am still a bit surprised to hear that you are going to go with a digital. They have their advantages but I just cannot seem to convince myself to buy one yet.

There are two bucks I have been seeing on some local properties that have racks just about to the tips of their ears. I bet they are going to be some bruisers.

Bowfanatic,

I may try the Fuji film the next time. I already have a roll of Kodak 200 speed film in there for when I put it out tomorrow. They "recommend" Kodak film be used but they do not give a reason.

I am using the 24 exposure film but was considering 36. I have not seen anyone comment about this issue so I am not sure if it is entirely possible. Maybe someone else can illuminate us on this issue.

Rick,

Thanks for the tip. I will continue to put the cam out each week from now until the beginning of the season. I think it will be neat to watch the racks grow.

Big ten,

No, I have not had that problem. It could be what BD suggested though I have never had that happen either and there are some twigs, etc... in front of the camera in some of my setups. Could it be that someone is playing with the camera?....or maybe squirrel climbing on it?

shootem up 870,

Actually that is a deer cocane pit that has formed. In the center it is about a foot deep but you can see how they tore up everything within 6 or 7 feet of the central location. It works very well at attracting them to the front of the camera.
