Dean k Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 After seeing the recent article posted here on the trail cam by rabgoat I decided to get a friend visting USA to grab me one at a very cheap price!! I got it set up yesterday where I knew there was Badgers about and hoped for the best. I am delighted with the outcome and quailty of the shots taken last night, the field also has sheep so took some deleting of 200 odd sheep shots!! The results are below Was happy when I saw that I had caught this rabbit, but it got better as the night went on. I got quite a few badger shots with them mating, should they not have done that around christmas ?? Sure I read that somewhere, suppose when you fancy it you don't care what time of year it is !! Also a very mangey looking fox!! I have now moved it's location to catch some deer that are about at the moment, will keep any decent pictures coming!! The camera has exceded my expectations already and fully recommend it to anyone nosy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean k Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Yeah it was the one that your link went to, I guess the same as yours. I have shown another mate who wants one but will have to buy it here, how much did you pay for your's in the end?? The only thing that would have been nice is a temp gauge, not really needed but would have been nice I will try and get the pictures slightly bigger in future also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean k Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Well I did catch a couple of Monty's last night, so another good result. I am trying to catch some mink on the farm as I know they are there!! Pictures were not as good last night due to camera suffering to the frost a little in the early hours, there was a few things triggered it that I could not make out Lets see what tonight brings !!

Dean k Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) SS - This is the link that Rabgoat put on and it's the model I chose very good for the money! EDIT : should add the link hey!! http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/template...requestid=64095 Rabgoat - 2-3 feet depending on how far I am thinking of taking, small area gateway etc lower than if your going for a bigger biew of that makes sense. I am uing the rubbish strap provided and will look at the screw thread idea. Can't wait in the morning to go and check it, feels like when you have a trap out etc. I would like to put it next to a fox trap or simular to see how much interest you get in the trap even when it is not sprung. There must be loads of times where the fox looks around and nealy in it but then ******* off!!

Suffolk shooter Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Guys they are fantastic pics for a camera that is approx £60. May have to enquire on the Cabela's site now as i want one too SS Oh and keep the pics coming, they really are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Stalker Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Cheers Dean Just had a look am I right in thinking they don't have a flash? Cos I'm also thinking of setting it up over our syndicate to see who's there that shouldn't be And the last thing I want is the thing shot out of a tree SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean k Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 SS - Sorry mate they do have a flash, that's why the pictures are colour. The camera is not small either prob 10-12in tall, 7in wide (very approx) so you know its there. When it takes pictures it does flash, but when on video it does not flash so you could use the video mode for security but it would not get anything in the dark. Does that make sense ??

Dean k Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well had a close call yesterday, some people walking off the footpath got caught on film!! Luckly they did not see it or ignored it as it was still there today It was also effected last night by the frost, I could see what it had taken pictures of mainly Monty's but just not very clear. I have moved it into the wood for the next few days and see what we get there, below is the nice family enjoying their sunday walk and thankfully not stealing my camera Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
