Crossing the trail cam line.

Cross that line yesterday. I've never been into the whole trail cam thing.

That changed yesterday when I sat in one if the ladder stands behind the house. I did a circle around it before climbing up. I found two scrapes line-of-sight from the stand.

I've had eyes-on one decent buck on the property this year. Saw a toad last year but passed for personal reasons. That will not happen this year.

Ordered a three pack of WOSPORT G100 cams off Amazon. Delivered today. They don't publish the IR wavelength but say they are "advanced". I'm hoping that means no-glow since the cams have a pretty short trigger range.

I know squat about cams and they may be junk. But priced right and fast delivery.

Two tips: 1. dont face them into the sun if possible and 2. make sure you remove hanging branches or waving grass/weeds or you will have hundreds of pictures of nothing. Guess how I know.

Lithium batteries like to lie about how much life they have. Super fun to put one out that says 100% when placed and reads 0% a couple hours later

They are addicting. I’ve got a couple out here at home where I hunt and a couple in Ohio. I run Tactacams and love them. Energizer Lithiums are great batteries. Cold drains them quicker than anything. Solar panels help too.

Get what you pay for. They are fun but lately I've been thinking about just getting rid of them. Sometimes its more fun to not know whats out there for deer. Or think you know.

Think about sunrise/sunset, distance from travel area and how that impacts quality of photos etc… have fun!
