Default Game Cam ?

Just started using a game cam and was wondering what settings most of you use on them. I am just using it on a trail. Also what seems to be the best range for set up?

On a trail I like to be 8 to 12 feet of the trail. On minerals or bait I like 6 to 8 feet. On a food plot I like to be on the edge, you get some photos really really close but most photos are triggered and give a perspective of what in the field.

Good Luck!

We keep our Camtrakkers set on 24 hr/ 30 sec. delay.
We take a lot of pics on this setting, but don' t
want to miss a nice one if he' s following behind.

We prefer to set up the camera so it' s set off to
take the picture at about 20 ft. Unfortunately,
not all setups will allow for this. Kind of depends
on the trees in the immediate area, as we always
try and face our cameras north.

I set mine on 30 second intervals on trails. Food plots you might go 5 minutes or so. i like to set mine 6-10 ft from the trail. The height of the camera is very important. Most people ive seen set their camera too high. I never set mine over 2.5 ft. high. usually closer to 2 ft.
