Popular Post maddmaxx Posted October 10, 2017 Popular Post Share #1 Posted October 10, 2017 Last night was the first test run for the wildlife camera night shots. I'm still learning were to put it and aim it. The clock was not set properly but here's a couple of test pics. It was still dark and a bit rain soaked last night but the deer and racoon wanted dinner. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybeegb Posted October 10, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 10, 2017 I need one of those to help convince WofTy to not leave food out. I do not like raccoons . Possums, okay. Raccoons, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted October 10, 2017 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074BZFJ8C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Plus 1 32G SD card Plus 8 AA batteries Plus some alternate mount if you don't want to strap it to a tree. The frame has a standard 1/4" female camera mount. The pictures above are a very modest 5K pick at about 2.5 kbites each to not fill up the card too fast. I'm presently running a 30 second timeout (the time between a picture and when the motion sensor is enabled again.) I got 150 plus pics last night so I will probably increase the timout setting) I'm presently working out a better mount system for my uses, possibly using a hot shoe type mount so I can snap the camera in and out of its location without having to unscrew it every day. You have to open the weather case to get at the camera and the SD card and even the USB plug. Since the 1/4 mount is on the back frame the camera opens facing away from the window that I currently use to access it. (remember it was meant for a tree). On other occasions I may mount it on a tripod and leave it out in other locations like on the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raccoons, no. Lol, we feed the feral cats and if we put the food out in the yard the neighbor’s free range chickens eat it all. We have a gate on our back deck to keep the chickens out so that’s where we feed the cats. Some are afraid to come up on the deck in the daytime. Any food that is still in the dish at sundown is always gone by morning. I’ve turned on the outside light at times and seen raccoons, possums, cats we have never seen before, and sometimes we smell a skunk but we have never seen the skunk at the cat food. Trailcam might be interesting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted October 13, 2017 I finally have the camera set up to my liking. This pic is slightly edited to increase the contrast of the Infra Red. It looks like parts of the night results in a traffic jam at the food area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fret Buzz Posted October 13, 2017 Share #10 Posted October 13, 2017 I didn't realize we could have zombie deer and zombie raccoons! Wow. Do they eat human brains or just non-zombie deer or raccoon brains? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
