OK so I'm new to the trail camera as a few months ago....I'm kinda diggin it big time! Just curious as to how many cameras are you guys running?? I only have two out for now, just got a new lease and looking to get a couple more! I'm running 2 Covert Black 60's and about to pay for another one!
I have built 16 since January(hacked another 14 cameras for others). Sold 3 and gave one to my parents...so currently running 12 homebrews - 9 of those scouting deer, 1 predator set(fisher/fox), 1 dustbath(grouse etc), and 1 wolf set. Also have 7 commercials but they are mostly in security applications on the driveway/entry pts to property, at camp, and the worksite or watching other cams(still getting me lots of deer pics though).
Was 7 until I tried to put new batteries in my Stealth Cam yesterday. A pop and a crack followed by smoke and the camera is done.
I have 4 for sure, testing another one out that stopped working on me last time but I think I fixed it. I hope anyway, well know by the weekend when I check it. Its very addictive. If I could afford it Id have more. Hope to get to a point where I have 1 per 10 acres or so...but thats a bit of a dream.
I am up to 20 cams some are going to get weeded out once hunting starts, I even have three on my long driveway here sure make a guy search for good prices on batterys and sd cards.
reposted my response to different thread... *I get most of my info for builds and hacks on Camtrapper.com, Hagshouse.com, and DIYtrailcams.com, as well as Chasingame.com and Outdoortalk.com - Lots of Good info, links and guys that will help you through the process as well as troubleshooting. **if you are trying your first - Keep it Simple...the Sony P32 is an easy hack and makes a nice game cam.
I have 10... Every one has been in the woods since I got them. I got my 1st one last September, and have been adding more to my collection ever since 1 Wildgame Innovations N6, 2 Cuddeback Attacks, 1 Moultrie D-55 IR, 1 2009 Bushnell Trail sentry, 1 Hunten GSC30-30IR, 1 Stealthcam Prowler XT, 1 Recon Viper HD, 1 Tasco 3mp, and 1 X-Cam Blackout
Oh man do I have a serious problem.......I ordered ANOTHER camera, this time a Red 40......thats 2 this week!
