Delaware Trail Camera
In the first week of using a Primo's Truth camera, 3 MP in a known deer path. Hunted a natural blind in this spot last year and killed two bucks within 75 yards that had traveled up the woods road that is behind the camera and crossed the 8 foot deep ditch directly in front of the cam. The woods behind the cam is mature oak and the trees in front are a hedgerow that runs along the backside of our crop field and connects over to a large cedar stand. I will move the cam over the that hedgerow in a few days as I want to monitor the movement in the clover and grass field that is found there. We get a lot of deer moving through between our woods and the neighbors so we get a good amount of deer for 40 acres.
So far in the pics you can see a nice eight point who is very curious of the cam and some side shots of a big bodied 10 point. Also a couple of shooter does who tend to only come out at 1 am.

It was actually the morning of the 20th when both were seen, just noticed the date was off on my camera by one day. I checked it around noon on the 20th and hoping to see them again when I check it later this week.

This one seems to work great, got it for around $60 on Amazon on a lucky day I guess because it went back up to $80 the next week when I decided I wanted a second one. Battery life is good and the pics are great for only a 3mp, I will be getting more after this season.
I did have an issue with a memory card today but it was a formatting issue with the sd card and not the camera. I had over 100 pictures over the week but all but the first six were corrupted by the card and those six were of a fox and a hen turkey. Experimented with it today and it seems to be fixed after my computer reformatted the card. Hopefully it works because our bow season starts in a month and I am trying to pattern those velvet bucks.
