I need to get some of the mounting brackets to start putting them higher in the tree.
Higher up in the tree and not directly on a trail. Try to set up natural obstructions to deter them from walking up to the camera. My primary camera is set up on a sapling in the middle of a brush pile.
Good info! I'm about to put out some cameras and I'll give this new theory a try. Guessing I will be getting bigger SD cards. Thanks for sharing.
Makes sense. I'm going to set my cameras to video too.
I've never used video mode. Now I am very curious to try it out. I've never put it directly on a trail, always angled off but the height thing is interesting.. Good share
I use video mode all the time.
The deer become quite accustomed to it and it don't bother them at all although I had one big antlered buck pop into view and right back out and never came back again but this was last season when the batchelors groups were running together.
I kinda get sick of the video because it takes so many videos of one deer if they hang around enough and I had 377 15 second videos of roughly the same ten deer.
I caught a pretty big red fox and numerous videos of deer interacting with raccoons and watching the raccoons play and fight is hilarious.
I have one vid of a deer stomping to run off a raccoon and it bolted.
Videos are definitely where it's at....and it's cool to see them looking back knowing more deer are coming.
Note when a deer looks back chances are great more deer are behind and on their way.....and if they get nervous and start walking away after looking back then chances are it's a bigger, scarier deer.
