    Hey guys,
    I've never put a trail camera out after winter but I'm going to tomorrow morning hopefully. I'd like to get 2 out for awhile. Wondering if i should focus on or worry about direction that i'm facing the camera to help with snow or ice getting on the cam. Not sure if i should look up prevailing winds etc.

    Any other suggestions?

    I’d worry more about using lithium batteries so batteries don’t go dead cause of cold temperatures.

    Don't face it east or west or you will get lots of false trips due to sun and wind.
