Camera's

I don't know much about cameras but I would like to see the "big" guy at night since I am almost 100% sure thats when he comes in... Here is the deal. What should I look for and stay away from?? This is for rifle hunting and muzzleloader... I hunt where 3 firebreaks come together. Do I set it up on a "trail" and hope I get lucky?? Since I don't bait (illegal) they don't huddle up in one area... Which trail or spot to set it up on since there are so many deer trails... Also its a long drive to my hunting property I wouldn't be checking it very often. 1 a month tops.... I heard there might be a camera that will email pics. Is this true?

there are cameras out there that email the pics to ya. but not only are the units spendy, but so are the monthly plans to view those pics! if you won't be checking cameras often, then i'd recommend a camera with infrared. extends battery life 100% it depends on how much you want to spend. I'd say the best bang for your buck is without a doubt the moultrie 4.0 IR. 150 days of battery life, temp, moonphase, time/date stamp, 72 led's for pretty nice infrared pics. has a laser aim to help aim the camera, which is very nice. this unit is 200 bucks. i think most people here will point you towards the moultrie line of camers as well!

regardless of what you get, after using it, let us know how it works! many of us, including myself, experiment with different makes and models trying to find the best value

You can bait for pictures. Rule states a person can bait but you can not hunt there until 10 days after the bait has been removed or ate. I use a lot of bait (apples/Corn) but I don't hunt where I put the camera.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
