First time usse of trail cam
Thanks for all of the nice comments.
To those asking about the trail cam I used. Four or five months ago I read a message on this forum talking about a source of refurbished trail cameras for a realtive inexpensive cost. I went to the site and decided to order one. Cost was approx. $60 US. The model is an older StealthCam specifically the DIGRC-X. This model uses either an internal memory source or a digital camera card. I had extra cards 128 Mg from my digital camera so I used these. I set camera for max resolution and could have taken many many pics on the card with out downloading. The only drawback to this camera and I guess almost all trail type cameras is they eat batteries because the flash unit is very power hungry. But that is what makes the nite pics turn out. Next year I probably will try some type of latern type battery as an external power source. I was truly happy with the results however. Very easy to set up .
