Cold front comeing in right now, highs in the low 50s more like fall I shot a big doe last sunday evening, we havent seen a deer all weekend had some buddie kids up hunting so fig they would at least track one, took her to Ebels, made into burger but for the T loins, old doe!

What do you think of that camera Dan? After seeing your pic's I may be glad I didn't pull the trigger on one yet. I have a 3 Wildgame, a Primos 46 which is on it's way out and now a Primos 2. I just put that up on Sunday so we'll see this week what comes of it.

For those who put cameras out, How high off the ground do you set them ? Do you usually put them out around a food source?
I put two out for the first time this year. I put one out by the corn feeder and one by a mineral lick. I sat then about 4ft off the ground about 25-30ft from the food source. I was thinking about putting one over by a bunch of persimmon trees. I put them about 30" to 3'off the ground. 25' is petty close imo but some I have that close. I have some over where trails cris-cross, one at a mineral lick, one at a scrape.

High of 57 today and cloudy. Wind is right. I gotta get my $hit together and get out there. Time to make the donuts. I guess my current mess may have to wait. I swear everytime I rebuild something, I take something else apart. I have........issues.....

I just put that up on Sunday so we'll see this week what comes of it. Jury is still out the one is working but some pictures when day/night mode are charging are a bit weak but just on that one camera the other 2 Brownings are working fine,It maybe the lighting where I have it set not sure. So jury is still out I know one thing for sure Reconyx is head and shoulders above everything else. The picture of the deer I passed was quite far from the camera as it passed so it is a zoomed in picture hence the quality of that photo The night photo's I think are pretty darn good for a no flash and the day photos range from passable to very good so for the $ as long as they keep working I'm good with Browning to this point

Well that's good. That transition light does mess with those cameras as far as I have seen. No matter the brand. I can't afford to put a reconx in the woods on public land.
