The most important tip is to mount your trail camera at least 15 feet up in the tree. It will still get stolen but make the thief work hard at stealing it.

Hi. I had bought a cell camera and was on private property hunting for the first time so i set my other camera facing my locked cell camera and i got a video showing me the camera turning-called owner to see if anyone was on the property-no why? Told them and i drove out to check-good 35 minute drive or so to find that someone took the card out of the camera facing the cell camera! Afraid they were going to come back and take my new cell and the other i removed them both! I really enjoyed getting photos on my phone! I shot my personal best with my good friend during bow season! Thank you and wanted to share was all. Not sure why people do what they do at times! Have a good night

Dave, that was a very useful video. I have had some of those issues. I knew about the east to west direction was a no no. One thing I have done with cameras that don't have a view screen was to take my cellphone and use its camera to see which way my camera was pointing and take a picture with my phone. I know that is the best method, but I have done that. Thanks for sharing these tips. Juddie

Great tips Dave! I learned these when I was a part of the DNR's Snap Shot program. We would send photos in after 3 months, we would identify the animals and send them in. I think the biggest one I remember was to carry a 3ft piece of string or rope because, well, deer aren't as tall as people make them out to be! 😂😂

@chuckparson6712 29 күн бұрын

Great advice, another thing is to try to mount the camera to a tree that's at least 4 inches in diameter, they don't tend to sway in the wind as much and a bigger diameter tree allows the camera to blend in better instead of sticking out like a sore thumb 👍

A few things that I have learned over the years with game camera's is that i set the sensitivity to medium and i always clear away any tree branches and brush that can move with the wind and give you 5000 pictures of wind blowing

The first two I definitely had to learn the hard way, especially before cell cameras. The other camera looks perfect only to get in front and realize that it's to far to the left or right. In my case, almost all my cameras are hung high so it's even more important to make sure it's how you want it. Less room for play. Great tips.

@RudyHassallPMP 29 күн бұрын

Great tips, as they are usually overlooked. The one extra tip that comes to mind, that I saw you used but didn't comment on, is to use a piece of paracord or steel cable to hang your camera instead of the strap. The horizontal 1-2" strap stands out visibly to animals and humans.

Great tips! I have one camera that gets that flare effect from the morning sun(it faces SE but more E)but I like the spot. I may get a camera stand and try a nearby spot to improve those morning clips. I love finding new sites. I try to go back to the cam at a new site the next day or at least within the first week or so for initial checks but doesn’t always happen. Then in between checks spiders build webs and weeds grow lol! Take care Dave, Char 😊

@baneverything5580 29 күн бұрын

They`re great for bird pictures at feeding sites. I use an old trampoline and dryer left on this lot and put the seeds under two feet away. You can later crop the pictures to zoom in on the birds. Some cheaper cameras (driveway alarms too) will leak so I seal mine with pipe tape and duct tape. If I have trail cameras set up in my area driveway alarms can alert me to activity if bait is left. Some have ranges up to a mile. These are great for fruit tree and vegetable garden security too if pests are stealing the crops.

Awesome tips! My biggest issue has been not remembering to turn the camera on after being in set up mode. Too many times I've come back to dead batteries and the camera was still set to set up mode.

@citysticker-chris 29 күн бұрын

I use the Spyhigh mounting system, it has a laser pointer aiming device to pin point where the sensors are seeing. This system also allows you to mount high and at almost all angles.

Wow, I didn’t know they made something like that laser. Thanks for that bro. I definitely think that would help me during my set up routine.

Thay deer sniffing the camera is a bad set up IMP. Its right in line of sight for them. Im 6'3" i put them alightly above my line of sight with a stick appropriate for the angle i need pointing down. I learned how my camera lense looks when its pointing properly so i can i can hang it and adjust it by looking at it from the point i want to capture then i tie up my loose ends and blend it with the envirnment so try and hide it from humans

Never use a strap. Quickest way to get your camera stolen. Plz use a rubber wire instead.

When you opened you cams door and take the video, then you closed it, you wouldn't have the same view. But good advice thanks.

@justingeorge8988 10 күн бұрын

That’s not how those cameras work, the lease isn’t on the “door”, it’s fixed on the camera, the door just covers the lcd screen

@joeracerable 10 күн бұрын

⁠the lease what’s the lease. When he opens the door the camera moves with the door and he sees the right side and when he closes the door the camera moves to the front. So he is not going to capture video to the right when he closes the door.
