Post your pics from trail cameras

[Mark Christianson]

In the hunting forum, there is a topic about scouting cameras.
Well, lets see what interesting things have been captured on your cameras.

[Mark Christianson]

Here is how to post pictures:

I use shutterfly.com for my pics.
Basically upload your pics to shutterfly. View the pic and do a right click on the photo.... in enlarged mode... properties.... copy the url address and paste into the spaces between the image tags like this..... If all else fails look at one of the posts that worked, in edit mode.

[Mark Christianson]

Ok
I'll start. (Maybe even finish by the looks of the response to this)

I've thought about getting one of these cams but wasn't to sure on the results. But after looking at your pics I'm sold. What kind of trail camera do you have. And how much did you pay. Thanks

[Mark Christianson]

Aha!!!!
Someone is out there!!!!

I have 2 Stealthcam MC2-G's(Gander has them for $69.99)
I also have one Trailtimer Photohunter(About $250).

They are all 35mm cameras. The Trailtimer is much easier to use, but in the end the photos are all the same quality.
I am going to buy another Stealthcam, just because they are cheap. I may be trying a digital this year too, but not sure yet.
The 35mm gets expensive, but I am not worried about it because I love the results.

More pics for ya

[Gissert]

WOW! Those are excellent pictures. You just convinced me that I have to try one.

[BLACKJACK]

I'll second that, excellent pictures!!

Now I've really got the lust to get a camera!!

[cliffy]

Awesome pics...I, too, am going to get me one of those cameras....

[Mark Christianson]

All those previous pictures are from where I work.
I feed the deer there. I just mount the camera on the feeder.
Notice all the lights in the background. Those are street lights along 169 in Plymouth.
Here's some more.

This is a picture from the camera mounted on the feeder during the day.

All these following pics are taken over a couple weeks prior to firearms season. All these bucks are investigating my mock scrapes.

Notice every buck is a different one. We saw NONE of these during firearms or muzzleloader season. The neighbors whacked a couple of them though.
The big one still lives as far as I know. Nobody near us got it, so I am hopeful he is still around.

[hanson]

You catch any of those bucks on camera during the day at all?? Sneaky little critters coming out at night like that

[psegriz]

Have some interesting pics. Don't have a digital camera can I still post pics on here if so how?

Ice is coming soon!!

Griz,

Do you have a scanner or someone who can scan your pictures? Thats really all you need. Once you have your photo in a digital format the rest is pretty easy.

There are a good couple threads with instructions on how to post them. Here's the bragging board thread on the metro forum.

Good Luck

I just set up one today. Hope to get some pictures like those!! When I get some I will post them. Are you happy with the stealth cam. Just wondering because I have the same one.

I like the Stealthcam, just because it affords me the ability to have a few of them.
They are a little "hokey" to set up compared to the Trail Timer one, but the pictures they take are just fine.
You just need to make sure you have everything done properly.

biglakeba$$- i have a couple questions for you regarding the stealth cam. is there a way to open it up to switch it to standby mode without it taking a picture or do you just have to waste a picture of yourself everytime? also, when i walk up to the camera and it says 10, is there a way to tell if it has only taken 10 pictures or if it has used up all the film and the counter thing is up to 10.

hope you can understand all that. i just got a stealthcam and havent quite figured it out yet

[Mark Christianson]

Ah yes,,,,,,,
The "hokey" things I was referring to.

I do not know of anyway to change the mode without having a picture taken. One of the downsides. Why they don't have the swithes external is beyond me.

If you walk up and it has 10 on the counter, that means you have 10 pictures taken.
If you have a 24 exposure roll in there, and the counter says 35; that means your 24 pics have been taken, and an additional 9 motions were detected. The camera rewinds the film automatically, and just keeps counting up when something trips it.
You can get an idea of how many times animals have walked down your trail, even after the film is used up.

[rappin jack]

Does the stealth-can have the time and date on the picture?

[Mark Christianson]

I believe it is only the date.

I just picked up 3 rolls of film from my cameras. Wow! Buck pictures galore in velvet. Also got a few pics of fawns.
I'll post when I get 'em scanned.

[Mark Christianson]

[norm]

biglakeba$$-thanks for the reply, when i finally get some pics ill be sure to post them.

rappin jack-i beleive you can choose to have either the date OR the time printed on the pictures but not both im not 100% positive though

[Mark Christianson]

VERY few pictures of bucks during daylight hours. Probably 1 in 20 pictures of a buck is in daylight hours.(just a guess)
Here is one daylight shot.

[BLACKJACK]

[rappin jack]

I'll give it a try! Here is a buck I photographed the 2nd week in October. I shot the same buck about 1/4 mile away on November 20. We hunt on public land without any real boundaries. Hunting pressure is very light and there must have been enough does close enough to keep this guy hanging around during the rut.
