Trail Cams

[scdeerslayer]

My buckeye is over 10 years old, and has been smashed once while moving it on my 4 wheeler, and been flooded once. Only 3 megapixel, but takes better pics than my 20 megapixel cuddyback. I just wish they still made them as stand alone units.

You can't rely on any of the MP marketing of trail cameras these days. That picture file may contain that many megapixels, but the image sensor didn't make that many. Trail cameras only have at most a 5 megapixel image sensor, a lot are probably only 3, the rest of the pixels are interpolated, which actually makes the picture less clear. Never set a trail cam at the highest MP setting, start at the mid point, and even try the lowest setting to see which makes the best pictures.

The highest on the buckeye I have is 3, and it is the clearest game cam I have ever used.

No one have game cam pics this year?

Nice shots.

I don't have any new ones handy but here's a few from my back window just a few days ago. My shepard loves to chase em.

Down here in the coal country, dogs chasing deer dont last real long. Some guys have a real issue with that

They keep coming back after being chased off by the dog?

Every time! He usually just chases em to the woodline and comes back.

When I was a kid my Aunt who lived in carbondale had her dog's leg shot off by hunters when the dog got out. I wont let him run full out during hunting season and to play it safe I have a small cowbell I tie around his neck.

Thats good,but dogs that run deer seem to find out they can catch sheep easyer and that causes some problems for the farmer and the dog owner. I loved my dogs, and I hunted with them. Each one knew deer were off limits.

I hear ya, I've debated letting him out for the bear that come around here, I was afraid he might get hurt though.
