A deer I’ve never seen checking out the camera



And, finally, an unidentified creature

I'd say it's time to let some air out of those piggies at the first opportunity you get.

So when do we start shooting.....can I help? Please, please.

What type of Stealth Cam is that? The pictures look very clear.

It's a Stealtcam Unit IR. The MSRP on them is $229, but you can get them just about everywhere for $159. Other than putting it up in the front yard for the kids to run around in front of, this is my first set of pictures from it. So far I am very happy. It runs on 8 AA batteries also. Much better than all the D cells I had to put in the Moultrie it replaced. Another guy on our lease is using one and has been very happy with it also. The picture files are big though. The daytime pics are about 3.1 meg, so I've got a 4 gig SD card in it.

I am embarassed to say that I whiffed on the last shot I took at a pig at these feeders. A group came in but the feeder had jammed and there was no corn on the ground so they took on off about the time I got the gun out the window. The area is tight so I tried for a head shot and pulled it right over the top of the last one in line. I must do better.

The model number on the Stealthcam is STC-U840IR

Academy has them listed for $149 right now.

This is just getting out of hand sir. I think the TDHA needs to come wear out some hogs.

A TDHA deployment may be required. A post deer season timeframe may be more acceptable.

Here is a group that visited me recently--when I wasn't in the stand.

Those last 2 sure look like they been hitting the feeder hard. LOL. Sorry couldn't resist. Wew build the same kind of hog traps. They work great.

You were talking about the two in Dustoffer's picture right?

edholum had asked about the game camera. I've got a follow up comment. It eats batteries. The 8 AA batteries are only good for about a thousand pictures. My Moultries had been getting several thousand per set of batteries. And that would be fine except the battery life indicator showed almost a full charge two days before it quit. Another guy on our lease had the same experience. Right at 1000 pictures and dead without warning on the battery indicator.

I have read on several sites about battery life, and that some batteries discharge "curve" is almost a level line, then a steep drop to "dead", sort of like driving down a level road until you drive off a cliff.
