Trail Camera
our property has a long border with a stand of woods .... housing developments are shrinking the wooded areas and farms around us which is reducing the available wildlife habitat .... often when Maureen takes her Shih Tzu out after dark she clearly senses something in the woods that makes her very apprehensive .... who knows, it may be a squirrel but that's just the point .... we know that foxes, coyotes, deer, feral cats, squirrels and a host of other critters frequent those woods .... our hope is a trail camera may be able to let us figure out what she's concerned about so, we've ordered a " VOOPEAK Trail Camera Solar Powered 46MP 4K 30FPS, WiFi Bluetooth Game Camera" --- [urlhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BVDTLVHK/re ... UTF8&psc=1][/url].... looking forward to its arrival later today and figuring out how to make it work

Re: Trail Camera
We have four spaced around the property to keep an "eye" on things. You'll likely be amazed at what you see.

Re: Trail Camera
I saw an interesting post on FB a few weeks ago.
Seems a person put a Christmas tree out in the woods in front a game camera.
Got some pretty cool pics.
I have a few out on the farm I hunt.

Re: Trail Camera
Domestic cat is reported to be the most common prey of urban coyotes. If they are comfortable living in a city, then certainly near residences and businesses in suburban and rural locations.
Don't hesitate to shoot a coyote.

Re: Trail Camera
For you guys out on eastern N.C. coastal area , make sure it is a coyote and not an Eastern Red Wolf. They look about the same but with the Red is about 10% bigger and of course they are redish verses brown. There are only 20 to 30 left and they only exist in eastern NC.

Re: Trail Camera
I started off with two trail cameras. Put them out near where I hunt to see what's around and when. Then bought two more, and had one set up as a kind of a security measure, to see who and when an access trail was being used. A friend with a nice piece of property and I were talking about them, and his comment was that they can be addicting. I think he was right. I now have 11 total at different places around my property. Mine are all battery powered chip units, I don't have any cell service ones, at least not yet. I can hop on the quad, or in a SxS, and make my loop to swap out the chips in about 45 to 60 minutes. My GF likes when I connect my laptop to the flat screen TV, and we review the pictures on that. It's interesting to see what's going on in different areas of the property, and especially for seeing what is happening at night. We get a lot of coyote pictures, and they seem to space themselves out when they're roaming around. A single camera will get two or three in a single 20 second clip, then another in the next clip, and another or two in the clips after that. I've also, through sheer luck, placed cameras near licking branches, and those give a real good cross section of the bucks walking around. It's amazing how nocturnal they stay, yet how regularly they visit these locations.

Re: Trail Camera
the good news is, the game camera arrived and appears to be a most impressive unit .... the not go good news is, following the instructions I was able to insert a micro SD card and figured out how to install 4 AA backup power batteries .... from there, the instructions quickly few right over my head .... I've called our youngest son and his 16 year old son to come by and finish the startup .
