1st Time Hanging Cameras (Successfully)

[BigBass123]

1st time hanging cameras and getting pictures on them (tried one other attempt before with nothing).

Interesting thing to note is that I didn’t really change the locations of the cameras I had out that weren’t getting pictures (3), just adjusted where they were pointed. One camera. the one that got the little buck, was just rotated 45 degrees on the same tree, the other two were moved about 5’.

None of the cameras were lit up with deer, just 1 or 2 pics over 2 weeks. But better than last time.

Nothing big but pictures below. If you saw where the camera that got the horse was located, you would be scratching your head.

It does take a little practice , especially if it’s not over a feeder or corn pile . And yes the horse is interesting

Something to keep it mind with trail cameras. Is the height they are at for the size of the animal you target and the angle in which you put them at. Turkeys you would want lower say 24 to 30 inches off the ground. The terrain also plays a role. If your hunting steep or hilly terrain you wouldn’t want to mount the camera level. You would angle it towards slope up or down based on that. To get the most out of your flash and detection zone you would want just a slight angle downward on level ground. Some cameras the detection zones are smaller so if you mis angle your camera you are missing most of the animal resulting in very few picture unless the target is very close to the camera. For deer I like to elevate mine at about waist to belly height with a slight downward angle. Pay attention to west and east placement as it could trigger false pictures and pictures where the sun light washes out the photo. It is super important on placement aiming and height to get the best results..good luck
