    Went did a little scouting this afternoon and as I was walking by one of my cams figured wth and looked to see how many pics were taken. With it only having a 2gb card for now I check them every two weeks or so. Anyway the first thing I noticed was a big milk weed had sprouted up right in front of cam. So checked and card was full and out of 862 pics only 21 were actual animals, mostly turkeys. Guess that'll teach me not to knock down weeds when set them up ha.

    I learned not to set a camera up with ripe foxtail growing in front of it. 3400 pictures of it blowing in the wind.

    Do you guys remember the days of 35 mm trailcams? Where you had to decide if you were going to pull the 36 exposure roll when it has only 20 pics on it. Then decide if you wanted to pay extra for one hour photo processing or wait the 3 days to have it sent off? Then you get the pictures and there's three doe pics and 17 pictures of squirrels and 'possums. LOL

    I always take the weed eater when setting my cams. It usually only takes once a year with that to keep them down.
