I put numbers on my cameras. Even though I might not nave 17 cameras I still put 4 of 17 and 9 of 17 on them so people think there is more cameras out there so they think other cameras might catch them so they just walk away.
That is a really good idea!!! I may have to add that to my public land cameras as well. Thanks for sharing.
that is a good idea i may have to use it. thanks for the suggestion
Get another of pervy fotos of campers?
Nice advice, sir - enjoyed it all. One thing I started doing recently is painting my cameras with flat, dull paints. A little camo helps a lot.
Great advise. I am going to start hanging mine higher for sure. I also made some dyi tree hangers from hardware at Lowes and painted them olive drab. No straps at all for me.
Great tips. I hunt the Allegheny National Forest. My 1 tip. Walk 45 min . Most hunters don't go 500 yards from vehicle. It's like having your own private land.
I agree 100 percent. I prolly should of mentioned this in my video but most of my public land spots are over a mile walk back and I'm sure its another reason why my cameras don't get tampered with.
Even in the access trails? Or are they too lazy to walk those as well?
love the information and video footage to show what you are talking about. I know most these tricks but learned some new ones
Awesome! Great that you could pick up some ideas. Good luck this year in the deer woods!
Thanks! Great video! Great tips!
Great Tips! Thank You!
Great tips!
I've had cameras and cards stolen even when they were in lock boxes lag bolted to the tree. I learned to hang them at least 15 feet up in the tree. They still will get stolen but it slows the bums down and makes them work hard to steal your camera.
Same here it’s bull 💩 had last year’s stolen,
I try to go in deep enough someone cant just get out of there car and quickly find my cameras. I try to go about 2 miles in at least. I also try to put them in a hard to reach area. My current spot is almost like a seasonal swamp. half the year you have to walk threw
mud and ankle deep water. most wont go out there because of the mosquitos and cotton mouths. Great information loved the video.
nice trail cam video ...cheers
Great tricks !
Good video! I would like to mention that when using a python lock on a Stealth Cam it is important to snug the locking part tight against the camera closing plastic hinge so it is very tight. I had a Stealth Cam door pried open and broken off and the SD card stolen even though the Python cable was on it.
I had an elk hoof open a trail cam latch once it was a cow elk she smelt the sent and beat my camera up I had thought for sure someone took my SD to my surprise it had over a 800 pics of bulls and cows until she eventually knocked it to the ground haha
What kind of batteries were you running? Bears eat mine running lithium batteries in cold weather
very nice my friend
I.mount mine in hollow stump with holes
They stand out like a sore thumb, mos5 h7nters don't steal cams ,mine are all cellular with GPS and I use a permanent marker t9 let them know if they steel it and turn it on .I will find them ..or other times I hide another camera facing each other ...
When placing the cam with some side foliage cover... How do people get around the moving foliage triggering mov sensors
The foilage has to be back just far enough. Where I have been burnt is having a pine branch or leaves from a branch tucked behind the camera fall forward in front of the sensors when its windy. Some of the newer cameras you canturn the sensitivity down a bit if needed.
How are you tying that cord to tighten properly?
Tighten as tight as I can hand tie it. Sometimes placing the line just above a small branch or knob on tree.
what's a good basic budget friendly trail cam I can get my son for his bday? nothing too expensive in case someone steals it lol thanks
The Tascos are very budget friendly and work fairly well. Usually under $30 for the camera and can be found at Walmart. I’ve seen them as cheap as $20. Good luck with your purchase.
@@oakironoutdoors2436 thanks so much 🙏🏼
Pythons are huge for me. I’ve never had a camera stolen with a python, but I’ve had many unlocked cams stolen
Same here. They work and I also think that cell cams play a big role in that as well. Since most crooks know that a stolen cell cam, besides the SD card really does them no good.
I have put cameras watching other cameras.
Could anyone give me some tips for how to use the trail cameras To find my missing cat? I've been putting it on the ground and I am not getting very good footage but I'm afraid if I put it up higher people will see it in my neighborhood.
I would start by putting out some food. That way at least attract some animals to the cam and then if you get any activity from your cat get a livetrap. Also trying missing posters!
I put a cam on the other cam
So if someone takes it that would make a nice Facebook pic
5:55 arent those SPRUCE trees? pine have long needle, those are red fir or in their latin name Epicea Ruben.
Nope.
If you pause it at 5:53, you can see what might be a twig with long needles in the bottom right corner on a branch. Looks like it may have fallen from above. What needles are you talking about?
The honest person would not think of doing something like that but you get low life not very sportman like and take your camera .You have a lots of good points in where to put it but no matter where you put them you have again the people that looks for the chance to take them ..I anymore like to hunt in private property try to find people that i know and ask to use their land and that is where i like to put them .is so terrible anymore not like it was 50 yrs ago that people like to take them it real bad ..Not too christian LIKE...ex video
Yes, it’s sad that this is the way society is today. Just remember, there are lots of good people out there too.
I run them in plain sight. Learn how to brush them in better. Never had one stolen, tampered with, etc. I don't cable them either. I lose 99% to bears eating them. Height not mattering either
Try to buy non working camera to use as a dummy and put working one close to the dummy one
That’s a great idea
Bailing wire works even better.
i think i like that idea but you better rope in so you can use both hands
