Cameras running since last weekend of August.... going to take me 2 weeks just to go through all the pictures :)

14,000 pictures alone on one salt lick that has been established and maintained for about a decade.
 
55,000 pics between 6 cameras. 3 are coverts, and 3 are the $29 WGI (which worked flawlessly). 8 weeks run time. All batteries 100%, even the one that took 14,000 pics. I switched to the energizer lithiums this year and they are the bomb!
 
Made it thru half the pics so far.... all legit. Fawn crop is 25% this year. Way better than past several years. Still pitiful tho. Kinda sad to see so many mommas without offspring.

I'm not sure I could go through that many. I recently had over 3000 and got tired of going through them. I deleted something like 300. Hope you get some gooduns on there

Same thing I am seeing in SW TN on Ames. Some new members asked me me the other day "do these does actually breed?" They are used to seeing a ton of fawns with adult does on other properties they hunt, and at Ames over the last few years, you see more adult does without fawns than with fawns. It's mind boggling.

Last few years have been that way in my parts as well up until this year. Not sure what changed but I've seen more fawns this year than any year that I can remember. I can't be certain but I'd guess the properties I hunt were probably close to 50% this year. A couple more crops like we had this year and our deer numbers will be back through the roof like they were 8-10 years ago.
 
I tend to get frustrated/impatient with huge numbers of photos and a lot of redundancy...so my cameras are either on a 5 or 10 minuted delay, with 2 photo bursts. Where I come to regret this is with bears, because I usually end up with 2 partial photos, then they're gone by the end of the the delay, and it's impossible to size them without a good full body photo.

I too get frustrated with an abundance of pictures BUT with a 10 min or even 5 minute delay, I'm terrified of missing that buck trailing the doe. If I'm over food, I will delay it a minute or so but if I'm just on a travel corridor or mock scrape, I go with the lowest setting (5 seconds)

If there is a buck using mock scrape, I want several pics and angles to see him.

CWD related or coyotes?
 
1381 pics for me on my camera.

It was on a strap and the strap let loose a little bit. 1381 pics of the same 10 sq ft of grass 5' in front of the camera. About 1376 pics are of the grass/weeds moving in the wind. :bash:
 
LOL ;) Hate it when that happens.

Only thing worse is coming back to a camera that's been out for a couple months and batteries are dead or the camera died and you missed the most recent 2 weeks of pics.
 
Im always fearful that my cam has died and will want to check it. At minimum i let em soak 3 weeks at a time but i sure couldn't leave one all year.
