    I just picked up the Browning 8mp and 32 mb card this week. Gonna hike out in the tomorrow and get it setup. This is my first cam so I'm excited to see some pictures of my animals on my property. Between me and my neighbor there's almost 450 acres so I might pick up 1 more.

    But for now we'll just see how this goes.
    Are there anything I should consider other than the obvious like not setting up east or west facing that'll end up in a bunch of sun rise/set pics.

    I'm looking forward to uploading a bunch of pictures of blacktail deer, turkey, coyote and bobcat for you guys to enjoy.

    If you have trespassers that come to your land, set your cams about 10 ft high angling down. Other than setting them up over mineral stations, that's about all. I have 2 of Brownings 6MP cams and they are great cams.

    Isn't California in the middle of a drought? you might want to set up near any water you might have on your property.

    I would run some walk bye test first in the yard day and night to get a feel for the new cams detection range and how well it senses movement. Hate to set a cam up in the field only to find out two months later something went wrong on your first try. Make sure you format the sd card in the cam.:evilgrin:

    Did you mean to write megabyte in reference to the card? If so that is not a very big card and it will fill up in no time with an 8mp camera. On the other hand, if you meant gigabyte a 32gb would be fine. Enjoy your new camera.

    No trespassers thankfully. I am going to be hunting some public lands this season so that will be a useful tip.

    We are in a drought. But I live in far northern california and I gave an abundance of little streams and creeks on my property so they are getting water from everywhere. I will be setting up near the main creek later in summer when the water dries up everywhere else.

    I did do a fee practice runs last night before hiking out thus morning. So hopefully everything is still working tiptop.

    And how do you format the SD card first?

    Thanks

    I like to use a new sd card in each cam,I mark the cards and there should be a function that's under the menu setting that will ask you if you would like to format the card. Check your instructions for details

    I did buy 2 new sd cards and marked them cam 1 card 1 & 2. I'm not sure if it asked me for that option or not. I might have pressed no on accident.
