RE: My Trailcam: Installed Two Months Ago - Moved Today
I have wanted to do this for years. There used to be 14 acres of woods behind my yard, but they tore most of it down and put houses up.
There's still about an acre there, though, and we're a couple miles from a nature preserve. We see deer and foxes pretty regularly. Raccoons and groundhogs sometimes, and there are bear sitings nearby once in a while. Also, they say there are coyotes in every county of Pennsylvania, so they might wander by(?).
Looking forward to seeing what you catch.😀
This is literally the brainchild of about 20 years of thinking. Once I decided to finally do it, the biggest obstacle I faced was buying a camera. Dozens upon dozens of cameras look decent but have horrible reviews. I wanted something cheap to test, as the camera I REALLY want is sold at Cabela's, and I wanted to make sure this is something I like before I spring for the much more expensive device. Most of the 4K devices make you pay for a yearly data service, which I am not interested in, and almost none of them offer a streaming add-on.
Our woods have foxes (different colored as well), raccoons, skunks, deer, and coyotes. They say we have black bears here, but I've never seen one.
If you look, you can see the redish property line (to the left of the second picture down). Everything on the left is ours. To the right of that line is land that this big storage company bought, but it hasn't made its way across the power line yet to clear (and won't for at least another two years). If I can get dialed in to a good spot, I'll get the better camera and make weekly posts showing what I catch. I may cheat and put some bags of corn out to speed the process up.
