my first Cuddeback pics...
 

All, Just went out and pulled my card out of my Cuddeback today and had two pics! My area is one that is dead in the cold of winter and then pics up when the does drop their fawns. Im sure I will get more pics as the spring opens up. You can also notice my homemade treestand in the background. Its 23 feet to the platform which is 48*50. Also in the one pic you can see the buck is already sportin some bumps on his head. In the actual pic you can see the velvet but when the pics were resized for huntingnet all you can see is bumps.

Cool Pics. Sure makes it tempting to go digital

Looks like you've got your tree stand in the right spot. Have you shot deer from that stand already?

RE: my first Cuddeback pics...
 

thats sweet!

RE: my first Cuddeback pics...
 

I like! Nice stand placement!

Nice pictures HB, thanks for sharing.

RE: my first Cuddeback pics...
 

Yes this is my "honey Hole" and the majority of my deer have been shot from that tree, the stand is only about two years old. The camera is on the last tree of the woods on the corner before a field. The deer is heading to a woods that is off to theright about thirty yards away. So its like two corners of two big woods that are almost touching and its a natural draw for them. About half of the trees in the pic in the clear area are oaks so their is plenty of bait in the fall!:D Thanks for the replys!

Once you go digital you will never go back:DMy 35 mm days are done. I use a P41LE from www.trailghost.com and couldn't be happier. It's a 4.1 megapixel digital unit.

The digital camerascost more up front, but you recoup the costs in film developing costs alone.

Thanks for sharing the pics Hotburn!

vert nice deer

Nice pics. I've always liked the digital cameras vs. 35mm because of the cost of film, batteries, and development. These pictures show that your not losing any clarity.

How about bear safe boxes for the trailghost and others? I know cuddeback has them, and if you put them out where bears are around, your unit could be eaten in a day.

RE: my first Cuddeback pics...
 

I do not have a bear safe box but made my own out of 3/16 steel with a non acessable lock on it, the only thing you can see is the key hole. Its bolted to a tree with six inch lag bolts so the only way one would be able to take it is cut down the tree and take the whole log. I will try to get a pic next time I pull the card. The only thing you can see is the camera lense and the flash.

DougMD,

I'm not sure about the Trail Ghost, But I don't believe the Penn's Woods comes with a bear safe box.

Nice pics

RE: my first Cuddeback pics...
 

Considering that a good portion of the US and Canada has bears on it, and they are particularly fond of game cameras, all game camera makers should sell one as an accessory!

RE: my first Cuddeback pics...
 

I've never had a problem with Bears, but I have heard they like the film cameras because of the film smell. Why do they like the digital?

RE: my first Cuddeback pics...
 

It may be the film on the 35mm units. However, they might be attracted to the plastic smell from the casing on the digital units. Bears are curious creatures and eat/bite things just to see what they might be. My point is simply that it isn't worthrisking $400 between camera and memory card if you putup your game camera in bear country.
