turn trail cam on??

Ever forget to?...As I was walking to my trail cam, I was getting pretty excited to see what was on it...several new rubs and some nice looking scrapes too!...get card, insert new one...get back to truck and insert card into laptop...nothing? cant be..wtf? first reaction was batteries died already? cant be, its a covert, they last forever!....turns out it was operator error, never turned back on! #$@%*+!

 

Hate it when that happens! Just as exciting as when I forget to put in an SD card

 

Ha I know some here have done this before

 

Yep I am guilty of switching the cards and then forgetting to turn the cam on.

 

I've forgot to turn mine on before.

 

Even worse I once left mine on set up and drained the batteries completely.

 

Been there done that.

 

Yup eventually it will happen if you own a trail cam.

Haha we all have lol. It really gets your blood pumping. Am i the only one that invisions the monsters that had to have went by when it was off.

 

Yup - at least a hundred times between leaving cam off, forget card, leave cam on review, or forgot to change batteries....maybe a couple hundred times. I don't even think about what pics I might have missed anymore(crap happens lots - esp when you're runnning between a dozen and 2 dozen cams year round), just try make sure I don't screw up the next round.

 

Or when your walking up to it at night and thinking its dead because it hasn't flashed yet and all of the sudden BAAAMMMM blinded for 30 seconds lol
