    So jus picked up a new mpe5 haven't messed with it much yet. Just out of curiosity what do you guys set it on or does it depend on sitiation. Hopefully I'll get it up tomorrow but figured I'd ask since its close to season and don't have much time to experiment.

    I just have mine set on 2 shot burst with 30 second delay. I played around with it a little bit and liked that setting the best.

    Thanks guys, the 30 second delay and two or three os what have my other covert cams set on. I'm pretty pumped to try this one. If they're as good as others, which they most likely are, I'll definitely be adding soke mre to the collection.

    2 shot ... And what ever the minimum is I have it on trail. Working risky business on public land. I'm like 95 % sure no one will steal it, I have a hard time finding it and I dropped a pin on it. Either way you will not be disappointed its a great cam.

    Sounds good everybody, thanks for the help. Sounds like everybody gets good results with 30sec delay.

    The most common setting on that one is 2 shot 30 second delay out of the options that are given. Have fun !

    Thats what I thought, I mean who is that guy ha ha.

    But seriously thanks Pat, and everyone else. Looks like I'll be using that setting. Hopefully I'll be sharing some pics soon. I'm thinking these cameras might be addicting ha ha. I only had one coming into this year and now I've picked up three in 6 months.

    Everyone knows I hunt a small 20 acre-ish property and then a 70acre-ish farm type property and let's see...last year we had 2 OLD coverts and 2 barely working primos cams total. Now we got a Red40, 2 MP6s, MP6black and a MPe5+ the old ones....ordering a few more this week due to a new property I get the chance to hunt some....YES ADDICTING...and drains the hunting funds!
