Hello to all and here is my 1st post.Lots of good tips so far.Should help alot of folks out.For those of you using 35mm film cams,be sure your camera reads whatever speed film you are using.Usally your instruction book will say what dx coding the camera reads.I know the canon owl pf camera takes 100-200 or 400 speed film and if you put in 800 or 1600 it defaults back to the lower setting of 100 speed which will result in a substantial loss of flash distance compared to the 400 speed.Send an email to your cam manufacture if unsure what speed you can use.

Also anyone experiencing ants in their cam can try putting a little cayenne pepper in cam,perhaps in a little bottle cap or such.Seems the ants dont care for it...

Any of you have a coon that was a ham just got 27 pic of the same coon ,1 pic every 2 min so it stayed 52 min ?

2 many times. A .22 and a barbque pit work well there though.

Would you suggest a Stealth cam MC2-g to someone who is just starting to use trail cameras.

If you have a high coon population ,be carful where you put your cam. . Coon are curis so don't put your cam. where they travel .I now have 3 rolls of film with 1 shot of deer ,2 of trukeys and 78 of coon, the same one I think. I just moved the cam. ,coon season may have to open early!

Elkshed, I've sold Trailcam electronics and build cams for folks up there. You may want to check a little further.

You can make your housing bear proof. After you have made/bought a metal housing for your camera, simply weld some 1.5 inch nails onto it about every 2 inches around the entire thing. It will look like some kind of mid-evil mask, and you must be carefull with it, but the bears will not fool with it at all.

Not sure I'd want too after that either. [:-]

like others have said, definately watch facing it towards where the sunset or sunrise might hit it. i set my first roll up on a field edge and got a complete roll of an empty sunny field.
