Reconyx Pictures
 

I am still learning this camera, so the pics are not as good as I hoped for. Bad aim, weak batteries, and I think some food on the ground contributed to my problems. Anyway, here they are.

I obviously have technical, or mental, problems. I don't know why the above pictures posted side by side. Oh well, you get the idea.

It's because you typed something and put the url on the same line which moved the pic over to the right.

You know Jim, I think you have a problem with trail cams. Addiction! Maybe you should try putting them away for a year:D I'm just kiddin! Keep em rollin

Nice pics man!

Mottz,

You should know by now, It is more than an addiction, it is a full blown obsession. As a matter of fact, I may need an intervention!!
At least that's what my wife thinks.

I'm in the same boat you are Jim!

As many on the forums know, I have purchased dozens of the most popular trail cams out there. In my humble opinion, there isnt a cam out there that is as impressive as the Reconyx. The IR/Color Covert models we have are outstanding. Super fast trigger and excellent image quality. I hinestly never realized what we were missing until we started to run Reconyx units.

Belowshould be thetypical image quality you can expect from your Reconyx.

Good pictures PJ! I like the Reconyx too, nothing like them!

IL-Cornfed,

I think I made a couple of mistakes in setting up the Reconyx for the first time. First of all, I noticed that the background in your IR pics is much brighter than the ones I took that were IR. This could be due to battery strength. I thought the baterries I used were fresh but they may not have been. Secondly, I placed the camera in the same spot I had used previously for one of my other camswhere I had placed an attractant on the ground for that camera and I thinkit caused the deer to linger in the area. Since the Reconyx is so much faster than the other camera and I had it set on the trail setting, I got too many pictures of the same animals, mere milliseconds apart. So having learned some things, I will try to dobetter next time.I was going to wait until the middle of June to put it out again but with all the issues I had, I think I will be setting it up again next week. I want to get this right before the bucks start growing bone again, so I would rather make mistakes now. Any advice from anyone is welcome.

PJ,

I never use a Reconyx for feeder locations. If I did I would set it fortwo pictures an then the longest rest possible. I use mine for scrape settings antrail an even those setting turn into overkill sometimes.

I had it on a scrape last yearan got pictures ofeight different bucks on one scrape that night. I had 320 pictures that night. An got a total of close to 2000 pictures that week. They are awesome cameras, thought I wouldadd to IL-Cornfedthoughts on these cameras. There isnothing like knowing when you hang a camera out. That camera is not going to miss anything that walks in front of it.

AR Bowhunter,

Thanks for the advice. I really didn't think about having had that food out for the other camera when I set up the Reconyx. I will be more careful about that in the future. I will be setting it out again on Monday and hopefully avoid the mistakes I made the first time. Thanks again for the tips.
