Having a love for the outdoors...trail cameras has become a great passion of mine and I would like to share that passion through this blog.Curtishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06965600808100578317noreply@blogger.comBlogger3125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451553020495378574.post-16630990577612353252013-01-09T10:50:00.002-08:002013-01-09T10:50:46.121-08:00It is the 8th of January and It seems to be getting colder and colder where I live. As the weather gets colder I get more and more cabin fever. <a href="http://www.bsttrailcams.com/" target="_blank">Trail cameras</a> are so fun that it is hard not to be able to get out of the city more often and use them like crazy!<br />
<br />
I started reminiscing the other day about Spring and came across some trail camera pictures that really didn't help the situation....<br />

Trail Camera Pictures that I decide to keep are often cropped. This guy's antlers (at least one side) doesn't seem to be starting to grow quite right. ----maybe it's just me??<br />

This picture will already be 3 years old this June. Which means I really got to get out more! I really like this spot though. We get a lot of wildlife coming through on this trail...<br />

Here is another trail that has been very successful, in wildlife traffic. It will probably be another three and a half months before we can get to this spot. The Snow will probably be there until then anyway.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;">
Besides hunting, a <a href="http://www.besttrailcams.com/" target="_blank">trail camera</a> or <a href="http://www.topmotionactivatedcameras.com/" target="_blank">motion activated camera</a> can be
used for many other different activities depending on the needs and creativity
of the user. For example, a trail camera can be set-up overlooking a
construction site to make sure that nobody is stealing equipment or supplies at
night. It can be set-up to monitor a
vegetable or flower garden to capture a sequence of events or the progress of
certain plants and flowers. Hang a trail
camera near a bird feeder and you will capture amazing close-ups of your
favorite species in natural, thrilling action, set it up on the edge of a pond
to take pictures of waterfowl as they come and go. By placing a trail camera near the carcass of
a dead animal you can capture large but elusive predators like cougars, wolves,
coyotes and bobcats. Trail cameras can
also be used for security, protecting a home, work-place, or child’s bedroom
against intruders and thieves. The
possibilities really are endless.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 1.0pt;">
There are many websites that rate and
review trail cameras, and finding the information is as easy as typing in
‘<a href="http://www.besttrailcams.com/" target="_blank">trail camera reviews</a>’. I have included a
brief review of some of the most popular brands on the market but more are
coming all the time. Remember that these
are just opinions and your opinion may differ. </div>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Some of the <a href="http://www.besttrailcams.com/" target="_blank">best trail cameras </a>on the market are the </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">Bushnell </span></b><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">Trophy Cam</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">

because they are easy on batteries and produce some really nice </span><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">trail

camera. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Reconyx</b> has a reputation as being the highest quality and m<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=451553020495378574" name="_GoBack"></a>ost reliable trail camera available and the </span><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">Hyperfire HC600</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">, although
very pricey, is worth the money if you are a professional with high
standards. Anyone that hunts will
recognize the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Moultrie</b> brand, a
trail camera company with infrared game cameras like the M100 and</span><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;"> D55 IR</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">. If you are looking for an
entry level camera you could do worse than to check out the M80.

and 46 have been receiving favorable reviews all over the net and have a
company with years of experience and great product backing them. Finally there
is Wildgame Innovations, a company that is new to the market but coming up fast
with almost a dozen different game camera models including the </span><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; text-decoration: none;">Red 6</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">

Luckily I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and within 30 minutes I can do just that; get away. I love being able to hike deer trails and see where they take me and to just sit and enjoy my surroundings.<br />
<br />
I grew up hunting and fishing and it seems as if I don't get to go out very often but who does?? A couple of years ago my dad and I began using <a href="http://www.besttrailcams.com/">trail cameras</a> for scouting our "honey holes" for the fall hunting season and we have been addicted to the hobby ever since.<br />
<br />
Looking back it is kind of curious on how the technology and cost of the trail cameras have changed. You can buy the same trail camera that I had for half the price if not more. Trail cameras are becoming more advanced while the size is getting smaller and the longevity of battery is increasing...<br />
<br />
It is the middle of winter right now and I'm going to have to wait until I can set up my trail cams for at least a couple more months. In the mean time I will post regularly some pictures from the past to try to help me cope with my cabin fever...<br />
<br />
This is a picture that was taken off of my Dad's trail camera. We knew there were bears there but never saw them ourselves until...<br />
