Which stealth cam and what types of batteries? I've never heard of 1 day per set of batteries. I'm not a leading authority on cams but you should be getting more out of your cam.

Clud 9 indicated he's tried the trail imers with good luck. Maybe he'll shime in in a bit.

Cloud, Do you also use the trail timer as just a timer and do you like it for a scouting tool? I thought just a 250 event time would be very useful but others said they had bad luck with them. What are your thoughts?
