Trail Cameras?

Put them on the trail the only time I set one up, I got lucky

I learned early on to never have camera pointed in direction of the sun... Washes image out...
I keep camera out back to keep track of squirrel activity.. they work very well for that...

The best way to use a trail camera
1. Remember trail cams use motion detection to snap a shot, motion doesn't need to be from an animal most cams have in the settings an aiming setting that will turn on a light as it detects movement you want to adjust the cam to reduce leaves or limbs from setting it off.
2.Try to keep the sensor away from direct light it will burn the sensor out or blind the sensor so it will not detect movement.
3.Use the mini SD with an adapter this will let you pop the mini out plug it in your phone and see what you've got.
4.If your using the cam in your back yard you do not have to worry about this but if its out away from you I suggest you break off some small limbs with leaves and camo it it a little you would be amazed how fast they will disappear and man that REALLY pisses you off.
5.Use short delay cycles for more pics of same animal longer delay cycles to save battery life, pics take lot less space and power than vids vids well you track movement easier

What kind of bait did you use? Even the black bears we have will eat corn.
