I've done this two years in a row now. It's amazing to see the weather changes, the snow fall and the spring growth come on.

One time was 7 months the second was 10 months. Ive had 1600 pictures to look through! Many are small birds, but there have been surprises as well. Big elk, deer, raccoons, bears Mountain lions. Even a couple guys on horse back and a dog, as well as 6-8 hikers.

This told me the area was not as remote and quiet as I had thought. It's an interesting way to learn the long term activity of an area you may want to hunt. Both times that was my primary goal. I had the camera set up in a distant spot, but on a cattle, trail that would seem like a good place to hike.

I'm not sure that the hikers went further then this point, but I learned that there were people at least to this point. I'll admit I am a trail camera addict. I have quite a few of them. With the SD card reader for an iPad, and the otter box iPad case you can pack it safely, and use it to see all the photos so nice and big out in the bush. It's really exciting to see what you capture on these cameras.

Less than a dozen people in 17 months seems to be very light use.

Yep. I had an area in the wilderness I've kept a camera on for a couple years, until a fire went through and burnt the strap off the tree. Camera somehow survived.
