TIN CAMP - This is the Last One...

[WJCO]

Have you tried setting up an activity zone?

I did. It still only seems to pick up sometimes. I only know that because I have a tactacam in the same area.

Ok - the only thing I can think of is that there was just so much activity and fast movement that got my cam going.

Must be that time of year! Whole herd of elk just raced across the front gate at sunset!

There was so much activity, our one neighbor across the highway just sent me this pic too LOL

You eventually going to hunt out there?

Could be. Regularly I get deer like this one yesterday and I have activity zones set in the blue areas. But camera didn't trigger until deer was this close. Who knows. I still like it.

That's the difference right there. You have a lot of stuff in between the cam and game. The clip I posted up is pretty much a clear shot to the fence line and where the elk were running. I have tried setting up cams in similar situations as what you just posted and like you, I would just get nothing or too many false hits. I did try making small activity zones in between the trees or obstructions and that helped but I ultimately just moved my cams elsewhere.

That is very cool!

We get a lot of animals coming through the property so I don't always check every clip that comes in. That said, I had some free time today and noticed one of WJCO's friends came by to pay a visit a few days ago

Looks like he’s been eating well.

While there's nothing unusual about Elk roaming through the property, on this snowy Christmas morning, it was fun to see this cow try and eat one of our cameras LOL!

That’s funny, she “cleaned” the lens for you. Lol

LOL - yeah, that's one way of putting it. Funny thing is, I tried rotating the camera after but it wouldn't move. I think her saliva froze on it
